Justin Timberlake buys stake in MySpace Posted: 30 Jun 2011 02:58 AM PDT The site was the most popular social networking forum in 2006, until its users flocked to Facebook.com - but Timberlake is hoping to change that by focusing on music.
After taking a stake of the website, the star will take on a lead role as part of MySpace''s 35-million-dollars acquisition by online advertising network Specific Media from News Corporation, reports Contactmusic.
A statement from the pop star/actor read, "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.
"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," the statement added.
Specific Ceo Tim Vanderhook adds, "We look forward to partnering with someone as talented as Justin Timberlake who will lead the business strategy with his creative ideas and vision for transforming MySpace."

Mocking a part of our bodies we spackle to stop secretions, this Brit created a robotic armpit that sweats out pheromones so you stay out of danger. As part of his graduate exhibit at the Royal College of Art, our android-averse artiste has three smelly cyborg concepts up for your schematic consideration: there’s the underarm-equipped, bomb-sniffing bot that’ll warn you away with the scent of human fear, and a picker robot that enchants female assembly liners to work harder, better, faster with its manly musk. Sure it all seems harmless, that is until you enter into a trusting relationship with an oxytocin-spritzing surgical automaton. We don’t blame you if any of the above has you locking the Roomba up for the night — that’s exactly Kevin’s point. But there’s no need to panic just yet, a future filled with “but I’m a real boy” robot-complexes is still a ways off.
