Justin Timberlake is bringing sexy back to MySpace (if anyone can do it, he can). The Social Network star is trying to save the has-been, forgotten site by taking "a stake" in the company who has been falling at the mercy of Facebook for years. Talk about art imitating life...does Mark Zuckerberg know about this? According to Timberlake, "There's a need for a place where fans can go to interact with their favorite entertainers, listen to music, watch videos, share and discover cool stuff and just connect." If only there was a place we could interact with celebs (Twitter), listen to music (iTunes), watch videos (YouTube), discover cool stuff (Google), and just connect (Facebook). I think this sexy singer has got his work cut out for him.
The Bad Teacher star insists that the site is worth saving and believes it can become a music-based site claiming, "MySpace has the potential to be that place. Art is inspired by people and vice versa, so there's a natural social component to entertainment. I'm excited to help revitalize MySpace by using its social media platform to bring artists and fans together in one community." He does know that he's not really Sean Parker, right? Could this really work though? Justin Bieber was discovered through showcasing his artistic talent online, so perhaps this site will be the new go-to place to find talent. I think I see a new reality show in the making: Internet Idol or The MySpace Project. Sorry Justin, but I'm just not sure if the rest of the world will be *NSYNC with your idea.
