I turned on the new show called Superstars of Dance. I noticed that Kelley Abbey is one of the 9 judges on the show. Kelley played Carmen Diaz in the 1999 Australian production of Fame the Musical. She also choreographed that production. She later (in 2003) choreographed the South African production of Fame the Musical.

Out of curiosity, I did a search for Kelley Abbey and Superstars of Dance and came across an article where the identities of the teams and judges of Superstars of Dance were announced. According to it, Marguerite Derricks, one of the Fame TV series dancers, is the coach for the United States dancers competing on the show. The article also states that Marguerite is choreographing the Fame remake coming out later this year.

Today is Lee Curreri's birthday! I hope he has a fantastic day. 

I would just like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I hope that 2009 is good to all of you. 

Thanks to Mark (who emailed me and let me know he was uploading the videos to YouTube), you can now see the Bring Back Fame show here.

Here is another look at the upcoming VH1 show Confessions of a Teen Idol, with Billy Hufsey. The show premieres this coming Sunday at 8PM EST!

Due to the poor economy and lack of money, Debbie Allen must find a new home for her dance academy. She has to be out of the current building by the first of February. I hope she is able to find a new location for her school!
