T-Shirt Proceeds Benefit VH1 Save The Music Foundation

SAN MATEO, CA September 29, 2009- You don't have to be a performing artist to be a part of the new "Fame" generation; now artists can participate in the premiere of the highly anticipated film by designing their own T-shirts.

CafePress, the biggest online destination for user-designed apparel and gifts, has partnered with MGM to allow fans to create official "Fame" merchandise. The partnership enables fans to create their own unique"Fame" T-shirts and gifts, and to buy products designed by others who imagine their own names up in lights.

At CafePress, "Fame" fans can get started on their own design or shop from designs created by other enthusiasts - from the classic"Dream It. Earn It. Live It"to logo-inspired"Fan"designs and a variety of retro80's flavor, anyone can dream it, make it, buy it and wear it.

"We're thrilled to be working with MGM on the new Fame," said CafePress Vice President of Marketing Amy Maniatis. "It's so appropriate to see Fame open up its merchandising to empower the creativity of its fans, to borrow from a line in the film - we know Fame fans have talent, now we want to see what they can do with it!"

With the movie in theatres now, everyone has an opportunity to dress to impress in custom-created "Fame" gear. For more information visitwww.cafepress.comorhttp://shop.cafepress.com/fame-movie
