Social Media Mania Sparks First Baby Named “Facebook”

Feb, 22 2011 | Written by ATLien

Yeah.. I’m confused too! Who the hell would want to name their child “Facebook”? *sigh*

A twenty-something Egyptian man would.. and did! He has officially named his first born daughter ?Facebook? as a tribute to the role the social media service played in organizing the protests in Tahrir Square and beyond.

According to Al-Ahram (one of the most popular newspapers in Egypt):

A young man in his twenties wanted to express his gratitude about the victories the youth of 25th of January have achieved and chose to express it in the form of naming his firstborn girl ?Facebook? Jamal Ibrahim (his name.)

The girl?s family, friends, and neighbors in the Ibrahimya region gathered around the new born to express their continuing support for the revolution that started on Facebook.

?Facebook? received many gifts from the youth who were overjoyed by her arrival and the new name. A name [Facebook] that shocked the entire world.

There are about five million Facebook users in Egypt, more so than any other country in the Middle East/North Africa region. Facebook itself has reported an increase in Egyptian users in the past month, with 32,000 Facebook groups and 14,000 pages created in the two weeks after January 25th. (source)

I guess it’s not unusual for popular culture to dictate baby names, but “Facebook”? I guess Twitter, Youtube, Bing and Google aren’t too far behind.

Quick Flix: Ciara & Her Thigh-High Snakeskins…

Feb, 21 2011 | Written by ATLien

Ciara hit the pink carpet of the 2011 NBA All-Star Game last night (February 20, 2011) rocking a pair of barely there shorts and some hot lace-up thigh-high snakeskin peep toe boots.

CiCi’s racy boots gave her otherwise casual ensemble of denim shorts and a white vest a glamorous twist as she joined her celebrity peers at the Los Angeles Staples Center.

Ciara’s appearance at the NBA game comes after she made a public Valentine’s Day plea to her record label Jive Records to release her from her contract. If you recall, she posted a message to fans detailing her frustration about the poor performance of her Basic Instinct album and the labels lack of support.

[READ: Ciara Wants You To Know… (STATEMENT)]

In her statement, Ciara complained she wasn’t given the ‘right opportunity’ to promote her fourth album, accusing her label of telling radio stations not to play her single Gimmie Dat.

Whatever the case, CiCi sure is promoting those legs! Maybe she should just focus on her modeling career…

In the violent footage (which you can view below), Lobertini can be seen approaching a handful of people standing by the memorial as Little recorded the encounter. Continue Reading…

Mugshot Mania ~ NBA Star Arrested for DUI in Atlanta Suburb?

Feb, 21 2011 | Written by ATLien

Meet Atlanta resident Jarrett Matthew Jack, age 27.? Jack is a New Orleans Hornets guard who helped lead Georgia Tech to the 2004 NCAA title game.

He was arrested in Gwinnett County early Sunday (February 20, 2011) on charges of DUI, speeding and failure to maintain lane.

According to the police report, Jack, was stopped while driving a black Mercedes-Benz shortly after 4 a.m. for speeding on U.S. 78 westbound near McGee Road, in Snellville. He was driving 66 in a 45 mph zone.

“The officer paced the vehicle, verifying that it was speeding, and observed the vehicle cross the center line and the fog line,” Snellville Police Chief Roy Whitehead wrote in an email.

“He stopped the vehicle and smelled an odor of alcoholic beverage coming from the driver, Jarrett Matthew Jack. He conducted field sobriety tests, which Mr. Jack failed.”

Jack was given the test at the Gwinnett County Jail because the police department’s Intoxilyzer was not working on site. According to Whitehead, Jack registered a .079 at 5:38 a.m., 90 minutes after the traffic stop.

“In general, alcohol dissipates from the system at approximately .02 grams per hour,” Whitehead wrote. “Therefore, he would have been over the limit of .08 at the time of the driving infraction.”

Whitehead also noted that drivers can be charged with DUI-less safe if they register anything above .04 and are seen speeding and weaving.

Jack was selected 22nd overall in the NBA draft after leaving Tech following his junior season. He was the sixth Yellow Jacket to break 1,000 points and 500 assists in a career. As a junior, Jack led Tech in scoring (15.5), assists (4.5), steals (1.8) and 3-point shooting (44.2 percent).

New Orleans is his fourth NBA team. Jack, who backs up Chris Paul at point guard, is averaging 7.6 points and 2.8 assists.
