I know, I know. Fafa already had an intern. Amy snuck up on all of us, coming out of the Fafa depths and settling warmly into our hearts before she had to continue on her journey to become America's. Next. Top. Intern. But never fear, faithful Fafa users, lest that empty place in your heart become too lonely--a new intern is here! And it's me!

To those of you who don't already know me, my name is Shana, I'm a Leo, and I've been using Fafa to waste time and enhance my celebrity gossip knowledge since September 2007. My favorite reality show is ANTM--I've seen every episode at least once and could probably run down the list of winners and runners-up in my sleep--and I can't wait for the next season to start, despite it's inevitable decline since season three. My favorite things are frozen yogurt, interventions, and judging people. I don't like sleeveless collared shirts, or people named Andy.

As an intern, I'll be writing some snarky blog posts and making sure most of Fafa remains legible, though I won't be going anywhere near the Vh1 forums. Like Amy, I am also excited to be here and lay the grammatical smackdown daily!

Love, your faithful intern,

Shana

How did you get so many points in your Fantasy Celeb League? How did your competitiors get so many points?! Fear no more of being clueless, we have the Score Log for you!

Go to your Roster within your Fantasy Celeb League. You'll be able to click on the points from either Today or Total Points. From there you'll be able to see where your points came from!



If you clicked on Spencer's 154 Total Points you will see a filtered Score Log for how he earned all of his points. Which blog it came from, what day and what team!



You can see the whole league's scoring log by clicking links from your main League Overview or the League Standings page. Use the drop down to filter by a certain team to see why your friend is beating you!



We hope you like this new feature and if you have any suggestions to improve it, let us know!

We here at Fafarazzi won The 2009 Glam Network Awards Most Creative category! Thanks Glam!


And in the great words of Lindsay Lohan, she described herself as being creative, workaholic, shopaholic and an alcoholic - and according to the state of California, as well as a threat to all security guards. And just like Linds, we too are creative and maybe a little bit of alcoholics.

Take a look at the rest of the Glam.com Award winners.

You all know the date,August 15th will mark the second annual FafaCon.

So we've picked the location for our Saturday night, August 15th, festivities!

When: August 15th at 8:00pm - 11:00pm
Where: The 1914 Room in Red Ivy at 3525 N. Clark St
What: We'll be playing a reality type survivor/big brother game. We'll also have prizes, drinks and some other stuff TBD.

Red Ivy on Clark

Soooo ya... about that whole "Madness" thing we were talking about. We 100% retract our previous statements that we were happy about any sort of "Madness" that would be going on in March. (Cease & Desist letters will do that to ya)

So now I formally introduce Celebrity March Mayhem! Bigger! Shinier! More Mayhemier!

Apparently the NCAA didn't like our name and sent us a C&D. We asked them if they wanted to settle this on the court but they declined our offer. Too bad, Todd has a killer jump shot. We sum it up that the NCAA does not condone the exploitation and defamation of Zac Efron or any cast members of The Hills, as a result we've been forced to change the name of March Mayhem.

** Does not induce madness. Any timing or similarity between any other early-spring based tournaments is purely coincidental.




Make your picks on who you think will win the tournament. You'll score points for each correct pick you make. Pick 'em »


A Pool is a group of people competing against each other. The person with the most points for their picks wins. >> Create a Pool

Start Celeb March MAYHEM now!

The date has been chosen! Mark it on your calendars Fafarazzo's, August 15th will mark the second annual FafaCon.

So plan ahead of time kids, check out plane tickets, car-pooling schedules and where to ship your kids off to so you can have an 'adult wkend' of funski's!

We're going to try to get a block of hotel rooms, but please feel free to find the best and cheapest hotel deals through Hotels.com or any other site you wish. There's a lot of great deals out there right now, so take advantage!

We haven't nailed down specifics about that Saturday (Aug 15th) night festivities but if you find a hotel downtown or northern part of Chicago you should be fine! We'll give you more details as soon as we know them.

They were gone for a little, and now they're back and improved!  Charts for your league standings, swap comparisons, and new charts for tracking celebrity points.

League Standings
Check each team's progress throughout the season. How did they rise up from last place to second place in 3 days? How did I drop to last?? There's also a new link to view the chart full-page for detail.

Swap Comparison
Thinking about swapping a new celeb onto your team? You can now compare their scores over the past 2 weeks with the celeb you're thinking about dropping.

Celebrity Stats
Check out Hot/Cold data as well as total Fafa points over time on the new Celeb STATS page.

If you have any ideas for other charts you'd like to see - let us know!

One feature that got lost in the shuffle in the redesign was the "Availability Checker" on a celebrity's profile. You could see if that celeb was available to pick up onto your team in each of your Fantasy Celebrity Leagues. You let us know you REALLY missed that lil box - so we whipped one up today that's way better than the previous one.

We're sorry it was gone the past 4 days, but we're sure you'll like the new one better. You can now see ALL availability in your leagues at once - and the leagues they're available in are marked very clearly in green.

Certainly keep letting us know your ideas for improving the Fantasy Celebrity Leagues, and we'll do what we can to make them awesome.



Check the new box on any celebrity profile.  Make sure you're logged into Fafa to see it.

Next up - return of the Standings Graph - and more chart goodness.

    Ah, memories... It seems like just yesterday that we met, Fafarazzo. You were delighting me with your snarky hazing, and I was forcing you to Facebook and Twitter your little hearts out. I was proclaiming my love for Shia LaBeouf, before I knew that Megan Fox would become the real “Transformers” star to steal my heart. And, of course, we were all enjoying Britney’s hot mess status, with little knowledge of her impending comeback.
    Alas, the time has come for me to say goodbye. As my semester of school comes to an end, so does my internship here at Fafarazzi. Don’t worry, I’ll still be around and I probably won’t take the “intern” part out of my user name, but, in an official capacity, I’m done. So you can quit sending me your tech help inquiries (I could never answer them anyway) and stop asking me for illicit pictures of Todd (I don’t have any). I’ll most likely still pimp out Fafarazzi in my everyday life, I just won’t get school credit for it anymore.
    In my internship class, when we all had to go around and say our favorite part of our jobs, I said mine was “internet fans.” This may have been a delusion in my head, but you all have been such a fun community to work with and have kept me coming back for more entertainment even on my days off, so thanks! I know this isn’t the Grammys, so I won’t go on and on, but I must say a big thanks to Todd, Megan, Chris, and even Mike for being such a great team to work with and helping turn a school requirement into a really fun experience!
