On January 7th, 2024, Jasmine Guy won a Creative Arts Emmy in the category Outstanding Actress in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series for her work on Chronicles of Jessica Wu. It's Jasmine's first Emmy win. Congratulations Jasmine!
If interested in watching the ceremony, you can do so at the following links. The awards show was split up into two days, so there are two videos. Again, Jasmine's win took place on the 7th.

On The View, Dermot talked about his latest role in Marvel's Secret Invasion in which he stars alongside Don Cheadle, who also appeared on the TV series Fame. Image below shows Don and Dermot in a scene from the show.

I've decided not to renew the web hosting that I have been using for my FameForever (.com & .net) website. It's been quite awhile since I've really worked on updating the site. I don't want to give up on it though. So I've decided to switch over to Blogger. And I'm very much hoping that I can get back into updating it as often as possible.
I started working on moving the site a little while back. Still a TON of work to be done on it though. One thing that I'm not sure how I will accomplish is having music on the site unless it's done in the form of YouTube videos. That's something I'll have to look into. If it's not possible, I guess that's the way it will have to be. But at least I should be able to get most everything else up so that all my years of work on the site doesn't completely go to waste.
So stay tuned.
P.S. I have yet to forward the FameForever.net domain to here, so using that will take you to the old site for the time being.
