I imagine Gwen Stefani sitting at the television, watching someone play as her avatar, hearing Rolling Stones start, seeing her avatar singing in a male's voice, her face stretching aghast as she screams "Nooooooooooo!"
She cries for 20 minutes in the bathroom, her friends asking her what's wrong and thinking they were just going to have a fun party and poke fun at their super-rich and famous friend by making her avatar sing in a funny voice. She wrenches from a fetal position in the tub, "It can't be real! Those aren't my words!"
Somebody in hall quizzically replies, "It doesn't even matter what the lyrics are anyway. If I'm holding the microphone, I can sing whatever I want and your character will lip-sync it."
Stefani yells "YOU CAN'T CONTROL MY WORDS! I AM A WOMAN!" and throws a ceramic Q-tip container at the door, intending to hear a dramatic shatter. Instead, her 3-year-old opens the door and with a thud falls to the ground, Q-tips surrounding his limp body like a chalk outline.
Stefani cradles him in her arms, despite his protesting struggles to get up and just use the toilet.
"DAMN YOU, ACTIVISION!" she screams, party guests glares be damned. "I NEVER SIGNED UP FOR THIS! I NEVER SIGNED UP TO ATTACK MY SON!"
Stefani is now suing Activision for child support. #gwenstefani
And I say this with nothing but love, being a huge No Doubt fan....but if you can't handle being in a video game then you never should have signed on.
Video games are not real life. One of the selling points for these things is to customize the avatars. Dress them in feathers and gauntlets, or a chicken costume just because, and yes, dance and sing karaoke. If you want to produce serious music...go on tour. Shoot a video. Release an album. Don't trust your likeness to Toby the "beer pong master '09" and Rutgers Sophomore. #gwenstefani
1994 No Doubt would so totally kick 2009 No Doubt's ass. Then they'd cry themselves to sleep every night knowing what the future holds in store for them. #gwenstefani
For once, I'm on the side of the celebrities. Who would want someone appropriating their likeness for other people's work? Why should they be portrayed singing other people's songs? If there was a "Commenter Hero" and we OKed the use of our names, I would expect that DahlELama would be commandeered to overshare about TV-watching habits and throw out a few liveblog nicknames; if someone used it to, I don't know, expound upon the awesomeness of Glenn Beck or say something clever like "Slow news day?" I think I'd be pretty pissed. #gwenstefani
Belonsky, you're an idiot. It's Daniel Craig in that play, not Jude Law. You must be incredibly cute because Denton clearly didn't recruit you from that Junior High study hall because of your reading comprehension and grammar skills.
Furlong's had serious drug issues before - I remember reading an article about how his marriage to Kneeland was part of his attempt to get back on track and stabilize his life post-rehab. And years ago, a friend of mine saw him and Natasha Lyonne together in the Louvre, of all places, fucked up beyond belief and completely incoherent... He'll be another Brad Renfro soon. Fun fact: when he was a teenager he dated a woman 20 years his elder, whom he'd met when she was his stand-in on set.
I don't really give a fuck about DJ whoever, but sorry, kiddies, when you've got eight different drugs in you including coke, Oxycontin and Vicodin, no matter how you slice it you've killed yourself.
am i the only person who is actually a bit appalled by the newark mayor? i mean putting someone on a no-fly list as a publicity stunt is an abuse of power and constitutionally unsound.

Oh, and yeah: He's probably hoping Conan comes through with a crew and in the meantime, some favorable stats are getting YouTube play.
