Readers are always asking us for more TMZ-style posts, so here’s one for you. The New York Post did yet another review of Ben Mezrich’s upcoming Facebook narrative, The Accidental Billionaires. That itself is not that interesting, but the Photoshopped picture the NYPost uses is fairly hilarious in its similarity to a picture from the August Capital party on Friday night after our CrunchUp event.
As you can see, NYPost wants to paint Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg as the kind of guy who wants to date socialite Paris Hilton. We’re not so sure. In the social networking circle, she’s old news. She’s practically Friendster. Does Mark really want to Poke former MySpace CEO Chris DeWolfe’s Top Friend?
Regardless, Mark can have Paris, because in the similar picture from our event, his sister Randi gets the real prize: Michael.
Okay, yes, we just wanted another excuse to post the picture of Randi and Michael.
MG, you got us wrong. We only care about celebrity deaths.
Do u think twitter is safe??????
oh. god.
is that second hand of yours photoshopped too? cause RZ looks very excited
I don’t think it is. But yes, regarding the date, we have to check! And those lips on Mark, perfect artistry!
I think first photo was photoshopped and second one is original
Was that pic taken before or after the holocaust debate?
It is the picture taken DURING the holocaust debate. As a matter of fact it is the holocaust debate itself… in its entirety.
You look so damn happy… I call this the ZuckerCrunch Moment.
i am lovin this celebrity sh*t ))))
I imagined arrington to be much more attractive, once again the internet disappoints me. Stop imaging all the cool people online as superheroes, Sam.
um. I’m here you know. I can hear you.
HAHAHA, well taken, michael
Who needs looks when you have money.
Touche’
I think Marc is wearing a facebook embroidered satin smoking jacket there.
Indeed. Pimpin’.
Lol, this is really funny. When hands can be photoshopped, can not letters, be? But more than Mark, it is Mike who is fabulous. It is TC taking over Facebook (at least, a part of it)!
This is no way Mark could hang out with Paris. Have you seen how awkward his interviews are. The only reason she’d hang out with him is for the cash.
i don’t have the highest respect for MZ, but i don’t believe he would ever get that low
Paris’ Papa is owns the Hilton hotels chain. I’d figure she’d get a few hundred million in inheritance
old news idk about that
Randi > * > Paris
is it promotion time at techcrunch? is MG angling for a bonus? or is he brown nosing just for the hell of it?
Well, that’s better than “slow news day, huh?”
narcissism is contagious, especially right after a team-building retreat in downtown redwood city.
You guys need to get over yourselves seriously, this is ridiculous.
Ban him Mike. LOL….j/k
No news today?
Thataboy.
That is it.. Mike you and Me in the octagon… Randi is mine… if you hear the door bell ring at 3 am it ain’t some Euro trash it is the Canadian… with a real bear in one hand, not that piss you drink and a hockey stick in the other… I am going to leave my igloo, coming down to California and going to kick some Arrington ass….
Randi I love you…..
i love it!
Has anyone written a prenup app for Facebook yet?
This should then be followed up with a Marriage App, and a Divorce app soon to be followed.
Randi is hot :]
A few said that of Hilton before she became overexposed.
So the key thing to remember is – the current flavor of the day/week/month/year/etc. is quite the eye candy until the new kid on the block comes around.
uhhh…huhuhhuh.. uhuhuhhuhu… uhh you said poke.
Who would play Zuckerberg in the movie adaption? Especially if they make him a womanizing extrovert with a taste for the high life as portrayed here
You must have to live in the Bay Area and work in tech to appreciate the significance or humor of this!
ahahahahah, this it not the kind of article I like, but it really made me LOL
It’s a nice shot.
Mike’s from Huntington Beach? Well I’ll be. Hey Mike, this is Luke and I AM FROM HB TOO>>>
Arrington’s going to end up marrying this woman.
Great pix. Though Paris would “eat” Zuck alive. He wouldn’t know what hit him. lol.
Ugh another Mezrich masterpieceofshizzz. FAIL.
wow …
Randi is already engaged with someone, No?
I can’t wait to read the book.
Mark dating Paris? Oh god!
That’s funny..LOL
Um. What a catch. A self-absorbed, petulant and petty little bitch who threatens to remove FB accounts of people she doesn’t personally like and who insists that people bow and scrape before her.
Yeah, gimme more women like that. I’m sure they’re a real hoot to date….
[facepalm]
I would pay big $$$ to be in Michael’s shoes. RZ may not be a Madame Curie but she is a Cutie for shie-z
