MySpaceTv to Air Quarterlife

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Internet, Videos,

MySpace has decided to enter the world of reality shows, at least that’s how it appears. Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, creators of “My So-Called Life,” are putting together QuarterLife on MySpaceTV. While we are not exactly sure of the content, the preview shows it to be a group of twentysomething friends that do odd things to each other on and with the net. We visited the site itself where we discovered that it may be an interactive show, or perhaps just a tie-in to get others to the second site. The show will make its debut on November 11 on MySpace and the day after on the QuarterLife site.

MySpace’s Tila Tequila Gets Own Show

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Reality, MTV, Cable/Satellite,

Tila Tequila I’ve admittedly not kept up with dusty MySpace account, and now I’m not sure if I’m hip enough to return.

MTV—once again proving they’re the place to turn to for quality programming—will be introducing another dating/reality show this fall. The ingenious twist? This time around male and female contestants will be competing to date the same person: Tila Tequila. For those oblivious (like I was) to this internet celebrity, the bisexual beauty is apparently ‘the most popular girl in the history of MySpace’. Should I now feel sad that she’s not one of my ‘friends’?

Once her show A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila debuts on October 9th, Tila will work on becoming the most popular girl on MTV as well. Take note, Lauren Conrad!

Virtual Graveyard Features Deceased From MySpace

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Editorial, Internet, Misc. Tech,

Mike Patterson, a 26 year-old paralegal from San Francisco, wondered what happened to two recently killed teens who had pages on MySpace. That incident led into his creating a living journal online with publicly available information which he decided to call MyDeathSpace . Anyone with a computer can submit an obituary or remembrance for a loved one, which already lists over 2,700 dearly departed and gets over 100,000 hits a day.

The site has received so much publicity that the server has gone down several times but it seems to be stabilized now. If you would like to add your own virtual comments about someone you loved or would like details of its “members,” we suggest you do so remembering that we believe the viewpoint is a tribute to those deceased.

I’m going to come right out and say it: I’m coming away from Sony’s presentation more impressed than I was either Nintendo’s or Microsoft’s. They were very straightforward and showed exactly what we all wanted to see: the games.

In fact, this was one of the more impressive E3 press conferences in recent memory – check inside to find out why.

Paris Rehires Publicist

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Reality, Cable, Cable/Satellite, Gossip, Internet, Rumors,

A day after firing her publicist, Paris Hilton decided she could use his help after all—and rehired him! If you have been following the whole Paris drama (and frankly, I don’t have the time and energy to keep up), she was sentenced on Friday to 45 days in jail after violating her probation. Seems she didn’t understand that her license was suspended (from alcohol related reckless driving) and decided to drive anyway. Busted! Then, she canned her publicist, reportedly blaming him for the whole shakedown. Um, yeah. How about taking some responsibility, Paris? A case of he said/she said, only she said that her publicist, Elliot Mintz, told her she could drive despite the suspension. On Tuesday, Mintz told The Associated Press that he’s back to representing Hilton, so I guess their tiff was short lived (she’s much easier to forgive him than Nicole Richie, it seems). Now her MySpace page has a petition for her fans to sign in an effort to get a pardon from Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Her lawyers are also trying to appeal the decision. If all this falls through, can’t you just see it—The Simple Life: Behind Bars.

MySpace Uncovers Bogus Police Sites

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Internet,

Fake Police Since we reported the ongoing saga of Sgt. Copeland and his search on MySpace for his perp, we discovered that there has been a rise of hoax profiles on the site. Six of the approximately 16 sheriff or police departments profiles have already been found to be phony by USA Today. When asked to check into the problem, MySpace closed some that claimed they were New York, Virginia, New Jersey, Florida law enforcement departments.

Hemanshu Nigam, MySpace’s chief security officer, has promised to look into other suspicious-looking profile pages, since there are those who can be rather creative with their use of online deception. They are also training police on how to set up a MySpace page and tag it as an official profile. With over 160 million total profiles on the site, that’s a lot of cyber coffee and donuts to provide.

Bank Robber Visible on YouTube

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Cameras, Internet, Videos,

Listen up, all you Gear Livers. Last week we told you about the robber with his own MySpace entry, in an effort to apprehend him somewhere between Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. Sgt. Jarrad Copeland has told Gear Live that he has also posted on YouTube. Take a good look and if you think you have seen the alleged perpetrator, become a superhero and turn in the guy. We’d rather not meet him at our local convenience store and assume you probably would feel the same way.
