One place for news
The site was launched in January 2006 after a short pilot run in the summer of 2005.
It was the brainchild of three gossip-hounds (Heather, Lucy and Catrina) and came about after one night in a bar, when they voiced their collective annoyance at having to spend hours trawling the net to fulfil their gossip needs.
Unable to find a site that reported all the celebrity gossip worth knowing - including UK as well as US news - the trio decided to launch their own.
And less than a fortnight later, Fametastic was born.
The site is now run by Heather and Lucy, with occasional “red carpet commentaries” by Catrina.
The site was relaunched in December 2006, to introduce a new design and lots of new features such as the forum, polls and celebrity profiles.
