Conejo | Thursday, June 05, 2003 - 06:26 am     Wonder why Paula..uumm..Debbie didn't comment on the last 2 performances. Does anyone know if any of these guys/gals auditioned for AI? |
Texannie | Thursday, June 05, 2003 - 07:14 am     I wondered that too. Thought it was cause the 2nd to last boy wasn't any good...LOL |
Brenda1966 | Thursday, June 05, 2003 - 09:11 am     Last night's show didn't peak my interest like the first one did. I missed the first 15 mintues and wasn't even interested in rewinding my tape to watch. I thought one of the girls they picked to go on was not a good singer. It seemed the show was cheesier last night (especially at the end when they announced who'd move on and had them dark lit-- I don't remember that from last time). I figured time was why Debbie didn't comment on the last two. They also cut off the very end when she was talking to the kids eliminated. I certainly like AI better than this, but I'll watch again. I agree with Jimmer -- I love that most of the AI contestants are completely new to the business whereas the Fame contestants are already battered from working in the business and some have already worked with Debbie Allen before. |
Mak1 | Friday, June 06, 2003 - 05:56 am     Thanks for sharing with us, Madelane. I'm glad to hear Joey has a personality, since we don't get to see it on the show. |
Maris | Friday, June 06, 2003 - 06:17 am     I agree Brenda, I thought Debbie was going to grab that paper out of Joey's hand when he was stalling on the last person to stay in. I realize that they are weeding down to a group of 12 but so far I am not overly impressed with these performers. They dont have the energy or the drive that the contestants on AI seemed to have. It looks to me like they are going through the motions. It is interesting to note that viewership went down by 30% in week two of the television show. |
Puttergirl | Saturday, June 07, 2003 - 07:22 pm     Maris, I agree that the first week's were terrible. I thought the last batch were better, though. At least Sarena was. If it were just the 6 we've seen so far, I'd say it was hands down Sarena to win!!! They better have some better ones coming up or this one won't be back. I keep thinking, though, that anyone who tried out for this show is probably already a rejectee from American Idol. You would think that anyone serious enough to try out would have tried out for them also. |
Seamonkey | Saturday, June 07, 2003 - 07:56 pm     I dunno, Putter.. AI didn't draw from the world of dancers.. This article includes a cynical take on "Fame", which isn't entirely off, IMO. Copycats Aren't Cool I'm not sure where the contestants on Fame (NBC, Wednesdays, 8 p.m. ET/PT) are headed, since the show's camera-hogging choreographer, Debbie Allen, seems to be preparing them for some currently non-existent variety show. Should The Hollywood Palace ever return, the Debbie Allen Dancers will be ready. Even so, taken as a campy throwback, the show can be energetically entertaining. And though Allen has apparently encouraged the contestants to over-sing, over-sex, over-dance and overdo, some of them certainly have talent. Still, you can't shake the feeling that Fame is designed less to bestow fame on the winner than to return it to Allen. |
Jan | Sunday, June 08, 2003 - 03:19 pm     For any Canadian Fame fans....Monday nights Fox 8PM viewing of Fame is in direct conflict with the debut of Canadian idol on CTV get your VCR's ready (to tape Fame of course ) |
Jan | Sunday, June 08, 2003 - 03:30 pm     ooops I meant NBC's Fame |
Kizz | Monday, June 09, 2003 - 03:45 pm     That's funny Jan cuz my sister was taping last weeks show for me and when I went to watch, it was That 70's Show...she thought she was supposed to tape Fox! Thank goodness for Bravo reruns. Maybe we are all Fame-ous Idoled out!! |
Texasdeb | Monday, June 09, 2003 - 04:18 pm     FYI - the BRAVO network ran reruns of the 2 prev. FAME shows this last wkend. I just wanted to let you all know in case your local station pre-empts any episodes like mine did last wk. Yeah, I got to see the 2nd episode! |
Demeter | Tuesday, June 10, 2003 - 08:25 am     I know these shows are pre-taped, but I'm thinking the votes are decided before the performances as well. Last night the judges commented quite a bit about how they saw the performers doing during the week. In order to also work out the demographics equation, I'm thinking they have already decided before there television performance. |
Egbok | Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 09:31 am     This morning on our local NBC morning news, Debbie Allen appeared to give a live plug for Fame and I caught the end of her statement. She said that America will have 2 hours after the end of the show to call in and vote. If I heard her correctly, she said the caller would be able to vote up to 5 times on one phone call or something along those lines. |

Sweetbabygirl | Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 09:52 am     Those were GREAT pics! Very tasteful and elegant, in a naughty way. Love the lingerie! Oh well, my boyfriend won't have to buy the magazine now....thanks, Hot! |
Texannie | Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 01:24 pm     She looks great!! I know people think Gastric bypass is somehow "cheating", but it ISN'T a easy cure. I admire her for doing something for her health. |
Beachcomber88 | Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 01:31 pm     Even with the gastric bypass, what does she do with all the stretch marks and extra skin? And her boobs must have been really saggy. Has she ever talked about what kind of plastic surgery she's had to have in addition to the bypass surgery? |
Sweetbabygirl | Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 01:40 pm     Beach, she did have plastic surgery to get rid of the excess skin....I believe she speaks about it in her first book. As for the stretch marks, I'm sure they airbrushed them. |
Texannie | Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 01:47 pm     Yep, she talked on Oprah about all the extra skin she had...especially in her arms, but I liked that her boobs now aren't all perky but still sort of saggy like a real woman! |
Tishala | Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 02:09 pm     Yeah and they are also REALLY assymetrical like a real woman too. LOL. |
Monkeyboy | Thursday, July 03, 2003 - 08:46 am     This show sucks! ok, I'll leave now!  |

Squaredsc | Friday, July 04, 2003 - 08:12 pm     she looks great and i love the shows in the last pic. but if i was getting plastic surgery then i would want to be a lil more perkier, not spacking you in the face perky but just a tad more than what she is. |
Puttergirl | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 01:56 pm     I just read this about Tyce on ReatlityTVPlanet.com. It seems Tyce is a REAL BIG spoiler: "Tyce's stage credits include the Broadway Company of Fosse, Ricky Martin’s La Vida Loca Tour, Janet Jackson’s Velvet Rope World Tour, J. Lo’s Live NBC Concert Special in Puerto Rico and the N’Sync Tour with Samantha Mumba. He has appeared in videos with Celine Dion, Paula Abdul, Jennifer Lopez, Mya, Vitamin C, Janet Jackson, Jasmine Guy and Ricky Martin." |
Myjohnhenry | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 02:10 pm     Puttergirl...there is an article on RealityNewsOnline.com about this. Scandalous! Spoiler or Ringer? Edited to add Click here for more This is where what Puttergirl posted above originally came from I believe.  |
