    Ryan, you realize those are either fake or curated by PR agencies, agents, assistants or other flacks?

    One far less frivolous consequence of Facebook's privacy change: The personal safety of political dissidents.

    From a Dec. 4th WSJ article, "Iranian Crackdown Goes Global":

    "Dozens of individuals in the U.S. and Europe who criticized Iran on Facebook or Twitter said their relatives back in Iran were questioned or temporarily detained because of their postings. About three dozen individuals interviewed said that, when traveling this summer back to Iran, they were questioned about whether they hold a foreign passport, whether they possess Facebook accounts and why they were visiting Iran. The questioning, they said, took place at passport control upon their arrival at Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport.

    Five interviewees who traveled to Iran in recent months said they were forced by police at Tehran's airport to log in to their Facebook accounts. Several reported having their passports confiscated because of harsh criticism they had posted online about the way the Iranian government had handled its controversial elections earlier this year."

    Thanks to Facebook, figuring out the overseas dissident network -- who is linked to whom and who are in what unsavory groups -- just got a hell lot easier. The Iranian censors must be having a field day.

    I have a friend who has a pro-bowl quarterback on her friend list, right along with her PTA mom's. It's really him! Her husband works with the team, but it's so funny, because I'm pretty sure people look at it and go, really?? He was at their pre-schooler's birthday party and nobody knew who it was, they were all 4, or moms. (I read the sports pages!)

    Ryan, please say you're kidding, or I'll never be able to take anything you say about technology seriously again.

    No, Angelina Jolie is the real McCoy.

    I sentt her a message and she replied with...

    "Thank you . Very appreciated."

    If that's not the real sweet AJ...

    If this post is meant to be serious, and not a complete joke, since any idiot can tell all of those "celebrity" accounts are fakes, then this is truly embarrassing for Gawker. Jesus.

    These aren't legit. Why would Shannen Doherty spell her own name incorrectly? It's just celeb posers.
