Justin Timberlake, Part Owner of Myspace.com?
Justin Timberlake has invested in MySpace and plans to help breathe life into failing social media company.
The advertising firm Specific Media purchased MySpace from Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. this week for $35 million. "As part of the deal, Emmy and Grammy winning artist Justin Timberlake will also take an ownership stake and play a major role in developing the creative direction and strategy for the company moving forward," Specific Media said in a press release.
MySpace, which recently attempted to rebrand itself as an entertainment hub, will continue to play on its strengths with Timberlake's input. "I'm excited to help revitalize MySpace by using its social media platform to bring artists and fans together in one community," Timberlake said in a statement. "Art is inspired by people and vice versa, so there's a natural social component to entertainment."
MySpace and Timberlake plan to unveil their vision for the site later this summer; in the meantime, the company claims it will become "the premiere digital destination for original shows, video content and music."
Timberlake will have a challenge on his hands; the company has continued to rapidly lose its market-share to Facebook since FB opened up its cyber-doors to non-university students.
However, if he manages to infuse MySpace with the same energy he has to "Saturday Night Live," MySpace may rise again. In addition to his music career, Timberlake has a portfolio that contains a tequila brand, several restaurants and the clothing line William Rast. He is expected to have an office at MySpace and a staff of six, according to published reports.
In related news, MySpace laid off a reported 450 people this week in the wake of the company's sale to Specific.

Came across these. Most of them look like they were taken at different parts of the country or in the middle of nowhere. I can't tell. But, the subject matter is pretty dope. I like the style, even if most of them you can tell Mr. Little was mostly bullshitting and practicing.

El héroe perfecto
Siempre en el momento indicado, logrando lo que se espera.
Llega cuando más se le necesita. Y cuando no, también.
Ahí está, ayudando a todos. Resolviendo los problemas de la ciudad.
Incluso si la ayuda no le es solicitada. Es preventivo. Es correctivo.
Con ese afán casi enfermizo de hacer el bien. Criticado, afamado.
Lejos de los reflectores, aunque siempre está ahí, robando cámaras.
Sí, el héroe perfecto. El que piensa en otros antes que en sí mismo.
El que rescata de las situaciones difíciles. Una hazaña más.
Sin buscar el reconocimiento, pero teniéndolo siempre a la mano.
No cabe duda que ante el más pequeño peligro podemos contar con él.
El terror de los malvados. Haciendo el bien sin mirar a quien.
Olvidándose de todo mas que cumplir una misión más.
Sin duda, sin egoísmo. Sin vanagloria.
Protegiendo desde luego, su verdadera identidad.
¿Qué hay detrás de ese traje con el que todos lo reconocen?
¿Hay un ser humano? ¿Miedo, sueños?
¿Esperanza, espíritu, necesidades físicas, amor?
No debe importar, pues es el héroe perfecto.
Súper poderes. Múltiples habilidades. Lee la mente. Es casi un Dios.
Salvó el día... Es más, ¡al mundo!
Pero ¿Quién lo conoce verdaderamente?
No es lo que representa, realiza o a veces dice.
¿Alguien conoce qué hay en su corazón?
¿De qué valen tantos actos de bondad, tanto talento?
Parece en realidad que él es quien más necesita ser rescatado...

John Lennon Supported Ronald Reagan Secretly
John Lennon was a closet Reagan Republican claims former assistant
John Lennon, the long-haired British peacenik who was investigated by the FBI in 1972 after he allegedly contributed $75,000 to a group suspected of planning to disrupt the Republican National Convention later was a closet conservative. Imagine that.
Fred Seaman, who was Lennon's personal assistant from 1979 until the singer's assassination in 1980, claims the former Beatle and anti-war activist favored Ronald Reagan over Jimmy Carter and would have voted for the Gipper if he could have.
"John, basically, made it very clear that if he were an American he would vote for Reagan because he was really sour on Jimmy Carter," Seaman told Seth Swirsky, who is making a film about the Fab Four.
Seaman said the guitarist "met Reagan back, I think, in the '70s at some sporting event."
"Reagan was the guy who had ordered the National Guard, I believe, to go after the young [peace] demonstrators in Berkeley, so I think that John maybe forgot about that," Seaman told Swirsky in excerpts published in the Toronto Sun. "He did express support for Reagan, which shocked me."
Lennon's former assistant says the musican was a Reagan supporter.
