Are you kidding? What would make ANYONE think this is remotely appropriate?

22-year-old pizza delivery man Jonathan Hudson was apparently serving jury duty in a car crash case in Texas, when he decided it would be a good idea to friend the DEFENDANT, Courtney Downing on FACEBOOK!

When she told her lawyer, Hudson was kicked off the jury and charged with contempt of court. He then pled guilty, and was sentenced to two days of community service.

Of course, this didn't stop the genius from once again messaging Downey over the social-networking site:

"I'm pretty upset over this…I guess you know what it feels like to be prosecuted too. Good luck with everything."

All right - WHAT?!

A) What would this guy have to gain from friending the person for whom he was serving JURY DUTY?! Is he stoopid?! You can't be friends when you're making a decision that will affect the court's ruling!

B) You contact her again? REALLY? As if she's at fault for his dumbass decision!

Absolutely RIDICULOUS!

You have no one to blame but yourself, buddy. Just be grateful the judge didn't come down any harder on you!

San Francisco-based social game developer Kabam is bringing the underworld to social networking. The company announced today that Paramount Pictures has agreed to license them their Oscar-winning film The Godfather to be turned into a social game for Facebook.

Now, fans of the already established game Mafia Wars might not care so much, but real movie buffs who love the classic film series might really get suckered into this. The game is called The Godfather: Five Families and takes place in New York City in the 1930s, a decade before where the first movie in the film trilogy starts. As a player, you are born into one of the five mafia families Francis Ford Coppola created and then you must find a way to become don, by any means necessary.

As always, the game is free to start, but not if you plan on making it to don. Then, you'll have to start spending a little cash to get the weapons and special skills you'll need.

Sounds fun for those who always wanted to be Brando. Not so much for anyone else.

Think U might join this family???

She's joining the ranks with the best of them!

Rihanna has just officially joined Eminem and Lady GaGa as one of the top three celebrities with the most fans on Facebook, as she has just gained over 40 million of them!

However, the rapper still stands as the most-liked on the social networking site, having 42 million fans!

Hey! 40-42 million - once the numbers are that high, it's like splitting hairs anyway!

You should be proud of yourself, gurl! We certainly are!

Keep up the good work!

What's the matter, Mark? You don't like irony of being the most popular person on Facebook's competition?

After joining Google+ Project, Mark Zuckerberg quickly gained massive popularity with over 100,000 followers!

Guess he felt that he was getting TOO popular, because he decided to hide his friend list.

Come on, Mark, show us that friend list again! Facebook has 750 million members now, right? Who cares if people see that there are now hundreds of thousands of users on Google+!

Ah well!

Are U on Google+ yet?

Or maybe she's got more of a sense of humor than we give her credit for! U decide!

This afternoon, a "fan" of Teresa Giudice's sent the Real Housewives of New Jersey star an ironic message on Twitter that read:

"Sometimes I beat myself up about not being famous, but when I see @Teresa_Giudice I realize how much talent, brains, & hard work is involved."

Now this social networking generation understands that sometimes it's hard to accurately determine the tone intended behind some IMs, texts and tweets. This one is…pretty clear. However, sweet-hearted Teresa took his jab as a compliment, as evident by the message she tweeted back to him (see above)!

Or, perhaps she's laying it on as think as he is and is jabbing him right back! Who knows! They grow'em fiesty in NJ! We wouldn't put it past her!

What do U think? Is she being sarcastic or…not?

If it's a boy, we know she'll be teaching that baby to respect women and not tweet peen pics to them from day ONE!

While these are certainly less-than-ideal circumstances, we'll admit that we smiled when we saw that Rep. Anthony Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin will be having a little Weiner together! LOLz.

Guess we'll see whether or not Huma chooses to work things out with Weiner and raise the baby with him.

Whatever she decides, we hope they do right by baby Weiner…and when he's old enough to use the Internet (again, if it's a "he"), we hope that they block him from Facebook, Twitter, and whatever other social networking websites are big fifteen to twenty years from now. JK!…sort of.

Do U think Weiner and Huma will stay together for baby Weiner? Or do U think it's not going to work out?
