Actually, I think the two words are very closely related but not the same. I found this quote which I think captures it:

"Farándula es el mundo del espectáculo, el medio en el que se desenvuelven los actores, el mundo del glamour y los reflectores."

For example the description of the Show El Gordo y la Flaca is:

El programa líder sobre información de la farándula de habla hispana.

I think maybe the best way to describe it in English is that el mundo del espectáculo is "Show Business--the profession" and Farándula is "gossip about Show Business"

Gordo

Spanish - Fat
