Quickies: Justin Timberlake Hired By MySpace & Kate And Wills Are On Our Side Of The Pond!

Jessica WakemanJune 30, 2011 //
  • Justin Timberlake has been hired by MySpace as … a publicity stunt, it would seem? [Celebitchy]
  • A friend of Jonathan Rhys Meyers denies he tried to commit suicide this week by overdosing on pills. Instead, the pal says the alcoholic actor simply relapsed. [PopEater]
  • Oh my. I never thought I would write the words “Gwyneth Paltrow,” “topless” and “fishnets” in the same sentence. [Celebitchy]
  • Vinny was photographed leaving the “Jersey Shore” house with a packed bag. He reportedly left to spend the night at a hotel. I’m guessing drama with either The Situation or Snooki is to blame for this. [Celebuzz]

The Frisky’s Guide To Social Networking: Make The Most Of Facebook

SimchaOctober 1, 2010 //

Social networking on the Internet is the easiest way to keep in touch with your pals, tell people what you’re up to without, you know, talking to them, promote your parties, and bask in your buddies love. Back in the day, MySpace was like the Wild West — you could post, do, and say anything you wanted. Heck, it turned tramps like Tila Tequila into “stars.” But now everyone — including our parents [Even my mom got an invite! -- Editor] — has jumped on the Facebook bandwagon. (It’s so mainstream, the scripted movie about the site, “The Social Network,” officially opens tonight.) So how do you keep your page fun to use, yet still appropriate for your family and co-workers? Here are some tips… Keep reading »

“Unfriending” Is Oxford Dictionary’s 2009 Word Of The Year

Jessica WakemanNovember 17, 2009 //

First Facebook took over your personal life; now it’s taking over your dictionary. Well, only the New Oxford American Dictionary. Those wordy peeps have chosen the verb “unfriend”—as in, I unfriended Joey so he’d stop pestering me to play that stupid Mafia Wars game!—as their 2009 word of the year, which means it’s been added to their massive publication. “Tramp stamp” and “funemployed” are also new words Oxford included in the dictionary, but (luckily) “unfriend” is the only one we have personal experience with. After the jump, The Frisky’s tales from the trenches of “unfriending!” [Oxford University Press Blog] Keep reading »

Shun, Shag, Or Marry: The Founding Fathers Of Social Networking Sites

adminOctober 5, 2009 //

Where would we be without social networking sites? We’d never know that the cheerleader who made fun of us in high school got fat, or that the boy who pulled our pigtails in elementary school got married to the girl who gave our boyfriend chlamydia in college. You’d have no idea that the world was so small, that your best friend is currently “totally stressing,” or that your mother knew how to upload pictures. And who do we have to thank for these little joys? The men of MySpace, Twitter, and Facebook, of course, who all happen to be smart, wealthy and hot! Even though Rupert Murdoch (who bought MySpace for $580 million) said the site is for stalkers, and Facebook is rife with Obama haters who want him dead, and Twitter hasn’t earned a single dollar in revenue, these are our boys. And we know just what to do with them.

The Bachelor’s Melissa Rycroft Is Sad To Be Dumped

Amelia McDonell-ParryMarch 3, 2009 //

Regardless of which one of these MySpace pages belongs to Melissa Rycroft, who got her ass dumped on “The Bachelor” finale last night — take your pick — she appears to be super sad! Or, you know, totally humiliated. “Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear,” reads one, but we like the update on the other one better: “Mel is completely humiliated.” Molly Malaney, who got dumped and then reupped, doesn’t appear to have a social networking presence, probably because she knows everybody hates her guts now. Melissa, on the other hand, has multiple Facebook groups dedicated to her: “Jason Mesnick is a SCUM BAG for dumping Melissa Rycroft!” and “Thank You Jason, We Will Gladly Marry Melissa Rycroft.” I think we may have found the next Bachelorette.

  • Jessica Simpson will not be gracing the cover of Self magazine as previously planned. Jess has been making a lot of headlines for her recent weight gain, but Self claims that’s not why the pop star won’t be on the cover anymore. They claim she’s too busy.

    I’m Too Sexy For Insurance

    SimchaJune 2, 2008 //

    What’s sexier than a security blanket? Pretty much everything. But that hasn’t stopped the insurance industry from trying to loosen its image. Sexy Insurance, a new networking site catering to insurance industry professionals, is giving MySpace a run for its edgy market share. Instead of Tom, they’ve got Sean, a self-proclaimed “refugee” of the biz, who runs the site out of his basement. His icon is an image of billionaire Warren Buffet with a speech bubble that says “I’m so sexy it hurts!” There are profiles, a following obsessed with The Office, a lounge for playing Donkey Kong, and a hilarious lo-fi video featuring 50 Cent “Fitty & Warren”. Although the new page is cool, the constant stream of new-age world music supposed to sex up the site really just makes us never want to date an agent — even if they’ll give us a discount on medical care.

    Poll: How Soon Do You “Friend” Guys You’re Dating?

    Catherine StrawnMay 16, 2008 //

    A friend of mine has been dating a guy for three weeks. They hang out a few times each week and are sleeping together, yet they’re not “friends” on Facebook. My friend thinks this is weird. It’s not as though he doesn’t use Facebook. In fact, when she was last at his apartment, he was on the website and showed her photos from his friend’s wedding. Conversely, I am “friends” with guys I went out with or kissed once, and now I’m not sure what to do about them. Do I de-friend them? Do I restrict their access to my profile? The online world makes things so confusing. Keep reading »
