It's not really breaking news or anything, but I found this kind of disturbing. Oh, by the way, I refuse to talk about the leaked Rhianna pictures so it's not about that. Don't get your hopes up.
I was doing my routine morning news browse at work and concluded with Variety (which I admit I've been neglecting lately in favor of that damn Perez Hilton) and was shocked to find FACEBOOK of all things infiltrating the sacred and holy Variety! The hideous Facebook tab takes up a ridiculous amount of room under the "Hot Topics" section and asks you to share your Oscars predictions with your friends. What the hell?! It's great Variety is trying to stay "hip" but it's not like the youngsters who use Facebook even read Variety or are able to afford the $400 yearly subscription. The sacriest part though, was when my friends list appeared in this skid mark of a tab. MY FRIENDS! Apparently, if you log on to Facebook and just happen to visit Variety online, you're logged on to Variety's version of Facebook.
Honestly, I don't know why I am so perturbed. This just really freaked me out today.
I almost forgot. The Oscars are Sunday. Watch, don't whatch, whatever. No one else (besides Seacrest) really seems to care.

Facebook is fast becoming the #1 social networking tool for university students and young professionals. Considering that both might be interested in the entertainment industry, but couldn't afford a paper subscription, I'm not surprised at this move. I mean anyone aspiring to break in to the industry will definitely be regularly checking the Variety website (as you do!).
