Why on Famous Relatives only people that I'm related through my dad's side show up and not my mom's?
I have gone through all of the people and not one is through my mom. Even the new ones that show up are through my dad's side. Also, I would go to famous people I know I'm cousins with on my mom's side and there is nothing or they show up as cousins through my dad. This is annoying I already know lots of famous cousins on my dad's side now I want to know the ones on my mom's side.

Are you sure all the relevant information is present on Family Tree? If there are gaps, that may well explain this. Also, FS' idea of who is a famous person is not necessarily the same as yours or mine!

As a quick check, I would go to the Fan Chart view of Family Tree for my mom, and show the maximum 7 generations. If the lines end sooner than I expected, then I would look into relationship changes for the people at the end of lines to see if they have been disconnected.
It's also possible that there are big differences between the connections made with your paternal vs. maternal line. My mother's family from Italy and Luxembourg is not nearly as connected to famous people as my father's English family.

It is also the closest connection to the famous people - which may just happen to be through your father's lines.
