[edit] New additions

There are three new additions added to the trivia section. All of which are FACTUAL accounts of her behavior.

[edit] Notable, but requires vigilance and upkeep

There is now little question that Ms. Dolce deserves an article, however counterintuitive and disagreeable that might seem to some. She's been featured in a variety of reputable, mainstream publications such as the Economist and the Wall Street Journal, and being as MySpace (or rather social networking in general) is becoming an ever more important feature of the Internet, I think anyone with a million "friends" that does is worthy of having an article.

However, subjects such as these are prone to vandalism and sloppy work, most of it from the subjects' fans and occasional visitors to the site that are not involved in consistent editing. All regular editors should keep an eye out for such things and try to maintain neutrality, objectivity, and reliability by: using appropriate language, avoiding any unnecessary praise or overly harsh criticism, and citing sources where appropriate. --Impaciente 02:07, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No grounds of speedy

No grounds of speedy. Article clearly states Glamour model, a clothing designer, product spokesperson, makeup artist, fashion diva, entrepreneur which does assert the importance and significance of the subject. Quick Google search verified the facts. --Walter Görlitz 04:46, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Definitely deserves deletion

MySpace whores are not "important people" to be included in the pedia. Delete this lame page. 12 May 2006 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.107.0.106 (talk • contribs)

but playboy playmates who have done nothing other than appear in one single magazine issue deserve their own page because playboy is part of americana? if she had done nothing other than create a myspace page, then it would be worthy of deletion, but she has accomplished more than that, and is of some note.

besides, she must have been noteworthy enough for you to search her out here to post your comment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.100.57.170 (talk • contribs)

I agree wholeheartedly with the suggestion to delete this page. She's accomplished nothing noteworthy other than being a social networking site whore and shilling crappy looking "destroyed" clothing. 11 July 2006 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.2.143.22 (talk • contribs)

You all are not to decide if she is important or not. She is pretty famous, she goes through the media, people know her. -> She should have an article. I don't like her, as a matter of fact i can't stand that womans attitude. Nevertheless, she is well-known to a "larger" group of people, so she indeed IS important. --Twsx 23:21, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

just saying but she is only widely known in america, no-one has heard of her in Europe, just saying in relation to peoples notes about how she is famous, people know her, she goes through the media. Well she is only slightly famous in America, people only know of her in America and i have never seen her on the media apart from when i saw her on 'Majic' Juan's myspace —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.73.213.124 (talk) 16:46, 23 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Needs a little clean up

Whether up and coming celeb or "myspace whore", she has gained attention rather quickly. She's all ready shot her first playboy cover/centerfold and has made her first talk show appearance. There are certainly people who are less famous who have entries and people who are famous for even less so I think it should stay after some clean up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xxsynxx (talk • contribs)

[edit] Added Links and Picture.

I fixed up the page a little but by adding in a picture of Dolce and putting in the hyperlinks for all parts of the article that required them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Darkterp (talk • contribs)

I integrated reference links properly and added reference section. Also added source for the assertion that she is the "Queen of MySpace" under references as well. --roy<sac> ^Talk! .oOo. 17:22, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] is that her real name?

[edit] Excerpts of Economist Article

For those of you who feel this page should be deleted, there is no an economist article on this woman:

ForBiddeN fruit

Jul 27th 2006

The Economist print

Big business tries to make friends and influence people online

THE internet sensation that is MySpace continues to grow at an astonishing rate. The social-networking site had 17m unique monthly visitors last July, when Rupert Murdoch recast himself as an internet visionary by buying it for $580m; now it has 54m, and is the most visited website in America...at least some of them are the valuable youngsters to which many big firms yearn to sell things.

MySpace seems to offer a chance for companies to take their marketing into new, potentially more lucrative territory, by becoming, in effect, members of their customers' network of “friends”. A growing number of firms have established their own pages on MySpace, to which users can link. In the process, some are getting into bed with some unlikely partners. Earlier this year, for example, Unilever, a consumer-goods giant, hooked up with Christine Dolce to promote Axe, a deodorant. Ms Dolce, who goes by the alias ForBiddeN, boasts around 900,000 “friends” who link to her MySpace page. Bleached, buxom and with impressive marketing savvy, she is arguably the most successful brand to emerge from MySpace, and has already launched a line of clothing.

That made her perfect, Unilever concluded, to draw in the 18- to 24-year-old lustful lads... So Ms Dolce hosted an interactive game, called “Gamekillers”, based around dating tips and designed subtly to promote Axe. Some 75,000 MySpacers signed up for it...

She never had a relationship with Tom from myspace.

[edit] age??

i don't think she's really only 25/born in '81. i remember earlier on in myspace history her profile had her real age instead of '99' or whatever she has there, and at THAT time, it was 27 or something.

note that in that one 'a star is born... on myspace' link, she lies about her age again and says she's 24. hah!

did you even think to look at the date of that article? if she is 25 now, she would have been 24 last may when trhe article was written.

[edit] Lawsuit against Playboy?

I heard she filed a lawsuit against Hugh Hefner after he apparently "promised" her the cover of the october '06 issue, which she didn't receive.
