Just kidding, but with all the relentless (and unprotected) celebrity sex stuff going on recently, that sort of thing wouldn’t be hard to believe.
In case you’re not big into tabloids (but of course you are, since like, what else is there to read these days?), Little Spears isn’t the only one on the fast and furious “accidentally pregnant” train. 22-year-old singer Lilly Allen announced she’s carrying Chemical Brothers musician Ed Simons’s baby almost at the exact second Jamie Lynn jumped onto the cover of Ok! Magazine, while beating out both starlets in the baby drama department was presidential hopeful John Edwards.
That’s right. John Edwards. The guy with the hair. Who’s running for president.
Apparently, some chick told the National Enquirer a few months back that Edwards cheated on his sick wife with her, leaving her sperminated and disgraced.
The news today is that an “ex-key official” in Edwards’s campaign (who has a family of his own) is actually the baby daddy, allowing Edwards to have some of his integrity back, but not all, since he totally had a lying bastard working for him. Read More »
I must admit, I haven’t been paying all that much attention to the upcoming presidential vote. The main reason being, I stopped watching The Daily Show in college. And yes, at 10 a.m. Monday through Friday, I was lucky enough to be home watching Jon Stewart, and not in class. Hint: become an arts major, not a physics major.
But, thanks to RadarOnline, I now have a better idea of who our potential presidential front-runners are, and where they are in the race.
The presidential candidates have been using Myspace as a means to put their names and messages out there to the Wired Ones of America – the ones who are up on their technology, in with the trends, the bloggers, the “cool kids,” – you know…us. And what’s better proof of just how well they and their campaigners are doing? Their number of Myspace friends.
According to the site’s very helpful Saved By the Bell chart, it seems as though Barack Obama is the Zack Morris of ’08 candidates. I wonder if Barack can pull off sporting such “natural” blonde locks and a nifty cell phone quite like the Zack Meister? Whatever he’s doing, he’s doing it right – he has over 100,000 Myspace friends. Almost as many as I have. Read More »
The New York Times reported in a recent article that the candidates for the 2008 election will be using social networking tools such as myspace as a campaign tool. So far, Barack Obama, John Edwards, Joseph Biden, and Dennis Kucinich have set up myspace pages, and Hillary Rodham Clinton, Rudy Giuliani, and Mitt Romney will launch their official pages in the coming weeks.
“Tom Anderson, 31, a MySpace founder, said, “MySpace has a method of reaching people who are historically not interested in voting” and may not read newspapers or watch news on television. He added: “A MySpace profile could excite their interest in ways they are used to. In the same way they learn about their friends, they could learn about a candidate.””
I’m not sure how I feel about this tactic, it seems sort of silly to me that candidates are setting up accounts on sites where typically it would be creepy for someone their age to be on. But, I can see the argument that at least it gets young people interested in the issues, even if they are just glancing at the pages briefly.
Here’s what I could come up with in terms of myspace pages that are up so far for each
