The queen of YouTube Lonelygirl15 is now riding the waves of stardom by landing big movie deals.

A friend of mine needs some advice: last week, her brand-new boyfriend (we're taking days here, not even weeks) wrote an email list of gifts he wanted for Christmas, sent it to his mom, and CC'd my friend. To be fair, my friend did ask him to send her his Christmas wish list, but she never expected him to send the same list to his mother at the same time.

iMurders Movie Trailer Both Gory and Out of Touch
"People are getting systematically killed in that chat room," a gravely voiced detective says in the trailer for iMurders below. While yes, the movie does look quite scary (warning: the gore in it is not for the faint of heart), the Internet terminology kills it for me (pun intended, sorry).
Chat rooms?
