Just to inform, the domain for maria-arredondo.co.uk has been renewed for another 2 years, so we will be around for longer.
I am sorry for the lack of updates, but there is nothing happening in Maria land, unfortunately.
As everyone can see from the lack of updates, there is not much going on with news regarding Maria’s career.
I recently received a mail from a fan in New Zealand, asking on how to get Maria’s autograph if you are not from Norway.
I am not in any way able to get Maria’s autograph for anyone, since I live in Denmark and not Norway. I hope to find contact info for Maria’s management, so I can find out if sending a letter to them with a pre-paid envelope included could result in receiving her autograph in return.
A pre-paid envelope is an envelope with stamps on, that is already filled out with the recipients address and the correct amount of stamps according to where it is send to and from.
Maria has taken part in the norwegian tv-show 4-stjerners-middag which revolves around 4 stars inviting each other to dinner and they then rate each other.
Below you can see some links, which also features new pictures of Maria:

In another article, Maria talks about coloring her hair, how it turned grey – before it turned orange, every girls nightmare:

In the article you can see a very natural-hair looking Maria.
Looks like Maria wanted to change her hair up “a bit”.
She performed friday december 10th at the mall in Narvik, with a brown hairdo.
Click here to see what Maria now looks like.
Looks forward to seeing her in the future with the new hair color.
I have together moved the old gallery to a new place, including a new script, meaning I can easier update it. It is now updated via Coppermine.
Go here to take a look, there are some pictures from her time at the Melody Grand prix.
Hopefully more updates in the gallery will come within the next piece of time.
According to an article on aktiv i oslo.no is Maria to be performing on Stena Line’s boat Stena Saga, for the autumn 2010 schedule.
Maria will be there on a cruise called “EkstraCruise” which takes place on a wednesday, she will be on board on December 15th.
Stena Saga sails between Oslo and Frederikshavn (Denmark). Ekstra Cruise is part of their 24/36 hours cruise.
I am currently discussing with myself, whether or not I should be putting money towards a new domain name and different hosting, than I currently have.
A few domain names are being reviewed, the only similarity they have is that they are short.
If you have any suggestions, I would be more than happy to receive your suggestions.
Regarding Maria:
Maria is currently still in the studio, preparing a new studio album. There has not been talked about a possible release date or in any way about whether it will be released outside Norway this time. Only time can tell.
As you can see, I have been very in-active on this website. Basically, there has not really been any news at all.
I totally forgot Maria’s birthday, very shamefull of me.
There did happen something big, Maria’s participation in the final of the norwegian Melodi Grandprix. She did not make it into the final rounds, but did an amazing job, and there are loads of pictures of videos of Maria online.
I have been busy at my new job at Lego since May, and have also moved to a new appartment, and that has taken a lot of time. I barely use my desktop computer anymore, so I hardly ever have access to the html-editor I use and Photoshop.
I hope to be able to spend more time on the website in the future. I apologize for the lack of updates. But here are a few things:
