Myspace site a fake

[Admin]

SOAP star Gemma Atkinson has hit out at fakers on global website phenomenon myspace who are using her identity in cyberspace.

Gemma, from Bury, is the latest celebrity victim of the hugely popular website, where any internet user can set up an entry and web page.
Hollyoaks star Gemma has now rubbished the site set up in her name – and urged her fans not to be fooled by it.

She tells me: “Someone is pretending to be me on myspace and I'm pretty annoyed about it.

“I'm hoping to set up my own myspace page just to let people know that this one is a fake.

“To be honest I'd never even heard of the website until a few weeks ago, I'm not that into computers. But there are loads of people on the site who think they are talking to me, when they're not.

“They've even put on there that I'm planning to have a boob job to make me an F cup, and I just want people to know that it's not me talking, and I've got no plans to do any such thing.”

The fake site in Gemma's name includes pictures of her at glitzy awards bashes, out socialising and images of her in her hugely popular role as Lisa Hunter in Hollyoaks. The main entry, pretending to be her, says: “I don't really know why I decided to join myspace I guess it's because I have a bit more spare time on my hands than I used to.

It adds: “If anyone fancy's a chat or wants to ask me anything then don't be shy, Gemma xx”

The myspace site has become a worldwide web phenomenon, allowing computer users to link up and socialise with other members, who number around 40million across the world.

But some users have been setting up sites and inventing huge web entries in the names of celebrities, fooling other users in the process.

The Diary revealed earlier this year how many of Coronation Street's most famous stars had been set up fake myspace accounts, and most recently pop star Peter Andre has had to set up his own official account after a number of fake ones were set up in his name.

Users of the site are also aware of the fakers, and many now ask for celebrities to provide a “salute” where they post a picture of themselves holding their real myspace web address in front of them to prove it is genuine.

The people who run myspace say it would be impossible to check all sites, but that any offensive sites are dealt with accordingly, and that any complaints against particular sites are investigated.

Most people said it was fake, as she added a photo that Gemma totally hates, why would you add bad photos of yaself!
Plus having met Gemma, none of what that myspace page said sounded anything like her?
Some people have nothing better to do, but i hope she does get her own one! [/b]
