The Mariah Yeater story just keeps getting more unbelievable twists: Earsucker got its hands on an escort ad that uses Mariah’s photo. You might think that some enterprising young lady decided to use this newsworthy face to get some more business… except that the ad is from January. So is/was Mariah an escort? Lifetime needs to lock this shit down before another network jumps on it and churns out a TV movie. More »
Hey you — yeah, you, the girl posting photos taken in the mirror with your iPhone. Beware how public you make your “candid” Facebook self-portraits, because Slacktory may choose you to add to their hall of fame, where they Photoshop in a NSFW accessory like a douche or a dead baby. Now that we’ve given you fair warning, laugh at the people who were unable to avoid this embarrassing fate — especially because the objects that Slacktory has chosen are so wrong they’re just right for the people who snapped the photos.

British Inception actor Tom Hardy is a rising star. As the dream forger Eames in the Christopher Nolan film, he was suaver than James Bond, leading to Christopher Nolan casting the young actor as the villainous as Bane in the next Batman installment, The Dark Knight Rises. Oh, and he also might be dating Lindsay Lohan. But more importantly, Tom has a MySpace page he forgot to delete. More »
Look, we get it. “Twenty two hundred?” “No, twenty two thousand!” is totally the new “You can’t handle the truth!” Aaron Sorkin loads up so much of his signature dramatic dialogue in the preview for the movie about Facebook, The Social Network (a film that literally has some of the lowest stakes ever to be taken seriously), that there were bound to be a billion parodies before the movie even hit the big screen. Youtube, MySpace, and Twitter have all been targets for different Network spoofs, but the latest concept from Urlesque is to just change the music behind famous memes to the music from the trailer (Radiohead’s “Creep” in a capella).
But can we just call it quits now? We already went overboard with Inception this summer, lets not ruin The Social Network before it has a chance to ruin itself. That said, here are the five best parodies of the trailer.

The Other Social Network – Great trailer for the fake MySpace movie. Which we’d be as interested in as the Mark Zuckerberg story. “I’m Rupert Murdoch, and I want to buy your company, mate!” (via Whatevs Dot Org)
M.I.A.’s Hieroglyphically-Challenged Album Now Streaming On Her MySpace — Yes, now you can listen to all of /\/\/\Y/\ without fear of taking part in some sort of Internet piracy scam. (via MySpace)
In the post-MySpace era, are self-takes still acceptable? The New York Times seems to think yes! So much so that they devoted an article in today’s Style section to mastering the art of the self-portrait. We tend to think that emo shots of yourself went the way of the dinosaurs in the mid aughts, but alas, with everyone having iPhones and MacBooks and whatnot–apparently people are still taking pictures of themselves!
If you must continue to take photographs of yourself, there… More »
Oh My God, A Robert Downey Jr. Song. – We don’t care what the rest of The Southside Stalkers’ album sounds like, we’re reactivating our MySpace accounts to friend them after learning about their music video for a song named after our favorite Iron Man. (via PopEater)
Welcome to the 21st century, Fox! In a major change of policy, American Idol contestants will now be plugged in to social media. Fox has decided to allow the 24 semi-finalists to use official MySpace, Twitter, and Facebook accounts to interact with fans.
To that we say: finally! It’s a sign that Fox is getting with the times — it will be much easier for the singers to mobilize fans and gain votes — but will the feeds need to be… More »
This video must have been taken a little while ago, some time near the release of Hilary’s “Stranger” music video. Can you believe that was about two years ago?! Anyways, Hilary let MySpace in to her home for a segment of “The Fit” which is all about following around celebs and seeing what new styles and trends their into as well as looking around to see what’s in their wardrobe. If you guys haven’t seen it, you’ll probably… More »
