Scotsman gets community service for setting up fake dating profiles for former friend.
It looks like a certain Scotsman did not take the time to check out our Top Ten Rules Of Facebook Etiquette and draw general life lessons from it (while we're talking Facebook, check out our Facebook Manners And You, because Ashton Kutcher thinks it rocks).
Per the BBC, Allan Troup (the Scot in question) decided to play a little prank on a friend, confidante, customer and business associate Kenneth McEwan using fake dating site profiles.
Here's the thing, they started out friends, it was cool but it was all pretend (yeah yeah). Allan Troup retained (what's your … Read More
April's Mom isn't the only one who's pulled the wool over our eyes.
In recent days, the online world has been shocked and enraged over "April's Mom," a woman who has blogged for months about her supposedly doomed pregnancy with a terminally ill daughter-to-be—only to be revealed as a hoaxster in desperate need of attention.
Winning over thousands of readers, advertisers and endorsements from anti-abortion organizations, "April's Mom" painted herself as a single woman who chose to carry her pregnancy to term, despite the fact that her "daughter" would never survive.

Reality duo is not really married, but they do want kids.
Ok, so I hate to say I told you so (not that anyone was really arguing with me), but MTV.com reports what most of us watched on Monday night: the wedding between Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt of The Hills is not legal. If you’ll recall, when Us Weekly broke the story about the elopement, they were so happy and so in love after this whirlwind ceremony that was performed after much tequila (and not-so-subtle pressure from Spencer) that I guess they forgot to check and make sure that the union was actuall legally … Read More

E!: According to his publicist, Lance Bass was joking (or yolking if you use a soft ‘j’) about have a quickie Vegas wedding back around the turn of the century. We should have known. A) Lance is a wild card; he can’t be tamed. B) A woman? Cripes. How dumb are we? You got us this time, Lance Bass. We’re not going to be fooled so easily next time.
