 Alanis Morisette and Mario "Souleye" Treadway: Married!  Alanis Morissette neglected to mention on the American Idol season finale last week that she had just gotten MARRIED on May 22. The nerve of some people!

This marks the second surprise wedding story of the day, following news that Kathryn Rogers and Rush Limbaugh tied the knot over the weekend in Florida.
"So happy to share with you that my man, Souleye, and I got married," Alanis wrote on Facebook. "We're very excited to embark on this journey with each other."It is the first marriage for the pair, who have been dating since 2009. Alanis was previously engaged to Ryan Reynolds, who married to Scarlett Johansson.

Facebook shutdown a hoax

KUALA LUMPUR - The Internet was abuzz yesterday as rumours spread that the popular social networking site Facebook would be shutting down on March 15. A glance on online trend-tracking system GoogleTrends indicated the rumour started gaining traction yesterday at 4am before peaking seven hours later.
If true, the shutdown could affect some 500 million users worldwide, including some 9.9 million users in Malaysia.
It is unclear where the rumour began, although some publications have attributed it to a widely-linked article posted by US-based news website, the Weekly World News.
The article stated that "users will no longer be able to access their Facebook account" starting March 15, and quoted Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
"Facebook has gotten out of control and the stress of managing this company has ruined my life."

"I need to put an end to all the madness," he was reported to have said.

Weekly World News, however, is known for its comedic news spoofs and blatantly false reports, with its recent articles claiming that United States First Lady Michelle Obama was pregnant and that actor George Clooney would be running for president next year.

USA Network Expands Diversity Campaign With Facebook Game

NBC Universal-owned USA Network has added a new social layer to its ongoing Character Project initiative, a cause-related extension of its "Characters Welcome" brand. In the hopes of fostering tolerance and respect among people from all walks of life, the TV home to shows like "Monk" and "Burn Notice" launched a new campaign Monday featuring a Facebook game and other social media components.

The goal is to encourage people to pledge to "stand against intolerance, prejudice, discrimination and hate, and to promote greater understanding and acceptance" through the CharactersUnite.com site. For each pledge, USA will donate $1 to its nonprofit partners, a wide collection of organizations including the National Council of La Raza, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, and the American Federation of Teachers.

"I believe life is richer and we are stronger as a country when we see beyond stereotypes and appreciate each other for the characters we are," states the pledge. Donations will be made during "Characters Unite Month," which runs through December 24, according to USA's calendar.

A Facebook game application tests players' "diversity ratings" by asking them to answer questions about their Facebook friends. "Which friend is a different religion than you are?" asks the game, which reminds players that the constitution guarantees freedom of religion. The Social Circle game, which resembles a slot machine, also asks questions like, "Which friend is an independent?" and "Which of your friends speaks two or more languages?"

The scores - intended to gauge the diversity of the friends of Social Circle players -show up on players' Facebook pages, along with a suggestion that friends play, too. "How diverse do you think your Facebook friends are? Now is your chance to find out!" Players with low scores are urged to "expand your horizons."
