Celebrity News:

MySpace has launched MySpace Celebrity, a channel for celebrities to communicate directly with their fans and for MySpace members to be able to interact with their favorite stars, the company said Thursday.

More than 300 official celebrity MySpace profiles are currently housed within the new channel including actors, musicians, athletes, comedians and socialites, the company said in a release. The new channel provides fans the opportunity to "become friends with celebrities, send them messages, post comments to profile pages and share celebrity videos," according to a release.

"MySpace Celebrity is Hollywood's new home page. Celebrities have been using MySpace since the site's launch and it's a natural extension for us to now offer them an aggregated channel where they can be in control of their own image," MySpace President and Co-founder Tom Anderson said in a release.
