Bogus Chris blog on myspace

This was not written by Chris himself. I'm quite sure of that. Even though it claims it is. The text is almost the same as his bio on Melissa's website plus info from wikipedia, only with the "he" substituted for "I". Plus there is no information on that page that's not in wikipedia or on Melissa's site. And there's also only photos there that you get off the web. Plus I can't see Chris doing a myspace page for himself, especially not with a last login date of Sep. 28, 06. How sick is it that people are out there, getting a kick out of imitating him? And look at all those comments of people who believe it's him. I might just want to post a comment there, saying that you should be careful about what to believe.

And wouldn't he have mentioned that to us when we met him and talked about the website? Like, "Hey, guys, you know, I have a blog on myspace." I wish we could verify some way that it's not him. And then get that page kicked off myspace.

I wonder... should we post something in the Chris Digest? You know, asking him: Dude, this is not you, is it?

No, in fact, you can delete this thread. It ain't him. No way.

Oh nooo, there's actually somebody who pretends to be Chris? Oh God.
I heard so much about people pretending to be celebrities on the amtam board. There were several people on myspace who pretended to be Amber and I was hoping that this will never happen to Chris. Apparently, I was wrong.

People, this is not funny. Get an own life.

TeeJay · 25 Oct 06 :: 18:21

Yeah, there's someone pretending they're him. How sad. And it's much sadder that there's people there who actually believe it's him. One person who left a comment sounds like they were at his birthday party or something. Or just another pretender, maybe.

I mean, a Chris blog would be fantastic, but he'd choose another place than myspace, I'm quite sure of that.

That sort of thing also happens on LiveJournal. I suspect that most celebrities have better things to do with their time than write a blog of any sort, especially under their own name. Chris seems way too busy to take what little free time he has and spend it on a computer writing stuff about himself.

Yeah, me too.
I saw that "he" has also Jason Ritter and a person called Margo on "his" friendslist. I'm pretty sure that they're fake too. I mean, when I want to find information about an actor online then I'd try to make sure that it's their official internet presence. Like Amber's website. I'd never trust a myspace account, except when I read on the official website about it.
I remember reading something about a fake Michael Welsh account on his official website recently. This is so sad. Why can't people not just get an own life, why do they have to pretend to be celebrities?

I suspect they're desperate for attention, but don't know how to get it as themselves. They could try doing something interesting or useful, but I guess it's easier to pretend to be someone who's popular. You're right, it's very sad.

Hey, check it out guys. There's a fake Emile Hirsch My Space blog too:

* A My-Space run by one of his Fans -- No, Emile does NOT have his own My-Space, currently, although he DID have one, last year, which he deleted.
Anyway, here is The Fan-run My-Space page in case anyone's interested in browsing it or "adding" ...

Poor Emile and poor Emile fans who think this is real. I know I am repeating myself but I just don't understand the people who are pretending to be someone else. What's so difficult to be oneself? And how can they be proud of pretending to be someone else? This is nothing to be proud of. They should be proud to be theirselves but apparently they have too little self confidence.

TeeJay · 27 Oct 06 :: 22:52

Well said, Anne. But these are probably just kids who don't know much about life yet. I suddenly feel so old and wise. LOL

TheCentralScrutinizer · 27 Oct 06 :: 23:17

I think it's more cynical than that. I think these little fangirls find it absolutely hilarious to pretend to be the celebrities they like, just to see how many people they can fool.

Deb

domesticelefant · 27 Oct 06 :: 23:46

Then it's not only mean from that little fangirls (people who are doing things like that aren't fans in my opinion), it is also very embarrasing for the fooled people.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 28 Oct 06 :: 01:41

Yes, it's embarrassing all right. They're not fans like we are. They're not the hardcore faithful. What they're doing is also very disresepctful, which is something we try to combat here and as best we can on the stupid IMDb boards. I guess I should say they're "fans". You now the type. They splatter their silliness all over the Internet and then disappear when they find something else to move on to.

shrams · 28 Oct 06 :: 03:31

Yes, I think that's a fair assessment, that they think they're being clever by seeing how many people they can fool. I got into a huge fight on a mailing list when someone pretended to be the actor we were talking about, like he came in to join our little chat. It looked like his e-mail address originated in England, so some of us thought there might be a slim possibility he was for real, thought it just didn't seem right to me. Anyway, turns out it was a big "experiment" to see how gullible people are. I said I thought it was a really cruel joke, and not the slightest bit amusing. Some people thought it was funny as hell, and weren't mad at all. I was tempted to contact the president of his fan club and let her know about it, because I was thinking he might possibly want to take legal action. But I chickened out, because almost everyone thought I was taking it way too seriously. In these days of identity theft, I don't find that stuff amusing at all. It's never been funny, but it's more potentially dangerous now. I totally agree this is not someone who "loves" the celebrity, and they certainly show no respect.

Susanna · 28 Oct 06 :: 03:43

I just don't get why they don't just make a myspace group like Chris Marquette fans or something.

Well fine, I do "get it", but I don't agree with it.

domesticelefant · 28 Oct 06 :: 12:53

Well, if there are fans who blindly trust those people, it's their own fault. I personally wouldn't trust a myspace account until I have the proof that it's real from an official source.

TeeJay · 27 Dec 06 :: 19:48

I couldn't restrain myself. I just sent this person claiming he's Chris a myspace message:

Subject line: Can you say "bogus"?

Text:
You claim to be Chris Marquette? Hm... Somehow I don't think so. Nice try, though. Might not have been that obvious if you didn't only copy his biography info from christopher-marquette.com and wikipedia word for word. Seriously, how sad is it that people claim to be celebrities when they're not? Even sadder that other people buy it.

Why don't you put your energy into building a real website with info about him instead of just pretending you're him? No wonder the real celebrities out there are leery of people on the internet. That's so sad. Get a life, dude.

A Chris Marquette fan

I know it will not make a difference to him/her, but at least I've said my share. Makes me feel better at least.

domesticelefant · 27 Dec 06 :: 20:23

Well, I once thought about writing something (since I have a myspace account myself, but still could not figure out the sense of it ...) but then I saw that whoever made up this account wasn't online since September, so I guessed he, she or it has lost interest in claiming to be Chris by now.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 27 Dec 06 :: 22:06

Apparently, this happens A LOT. Several people have complained about it too, but there's not much anyone can do.

Deb

TeeJay · 29 Dec 06 :: 01:17

Well, here's the not so bogus myspace blog of Chris's younger brother Sean:

http://www.myspace.com/smarquette

And, man, with those photos on there, it can only be real. Sean, you are freaky!

-TeeJay

domesticelefant · 29 Dec 06 :: 10:50

Especially that one pic where he looks a lot like his brother.

TeeJay · 07 Jan 07 :: 01:05

Sean's myspace page is gone now, btw:
Invalid Friend ID.
This user has either cancelled their membership, or their account has been deleted.

domesticelefant · 07 Jan 07 :: 01:26

Hmmmm ...

NicoleMcIntyre · 22 May 07 :: 23:06

You should ask the person who has the fake Chris page a question that Chris would only know the answer to...

TeeJay · 22 May 07 :: 23:14

Nah, we're not gonna bother. It's such an obvious fake that it's not worth it. Welcome to the boards, though.
