Justin Timberlake Comes To Myspace’s Rescue
Written on June 30, 2011 by Lucy Coughlan
I guess because he played a guy that helped to relaunch Facebook on a national scale in The Social Network, it was announced yesterday that Justin Timberlake became a minority shareholder in the $35 million buyout of the struggling MySpace.
According to The AV Club:
“But despite Timberlake’s small financial stake, he reportedly will have a major role in shaping MySpace’s future, which will focus on creating places for independent bands to make themselves out to be way more famous than they actually are.”
As if being saturated with a blitzkrieg of trailers, ads and billboards for Timberlake’s horrible new Friends With Benefits film wasn’t enough, the guy is now dipping his toe into social networking (pun not intended). I mean, sure, we all liked him as an SNL host, and it’s fun now and again to joke about back in the day when he would wear denim suits to award ceremonies and stuff, but come on—he’s everywhere now. It’s as if this is all part of a five-point plan for global domination. He’s already done music, TV, film, and social networking. If this guy writes a book, we’re screwed.
What do you think of Timberlake’s involvement in MySpace?
