Today brings the return of a familiar face to our computer screens. No, we’re not talking about Justin Timberlake, though he is a wise choice to play the role of public representative for the brand new MySpace.

This new video dropped on Twitter yesterday, and we have to say that we are somewhat impressed that MySpace has so obviously improved upon its famously awful interface!

Hmm…that was more of a tease than anything, but the new MySpace seems to combine elements of Facebook, Spotify and especially Pinterest (the visual layout is all but a carbon copy). This change is a wise move:

We know you were wondering: When will Justin Timberlake release a new album? Sadly, the answer is “right after he wins an Oscar,” aka never. Reps for the former Disney star/tween pin-up/blue-eyed soul singer-turned actor went into overdrive yesterday after a producer named Jim Beanz (we’d never heard of him either) told Digital Spy that he was working on a “new project” with the recently engaged JT.

Unless that project and the upcoming Timbaland album are one and the same, dude had his details all wrong. Or maybe he was just trying to get thousands of people unfamiliar with his work to Google his name, in which case we must give him a slow, unenthusiastic clap.

“Director’s Cut”? Ooooooooh:

Facebook has announced a partnership with Skype that will bring video calling to the social network’s 750 million users.

901, the premium tequila brand launched by Justin Timberlake smartly went with a real prize for their user-generated video contest: $25,000, a trip to Vegas, and the title of Executive Vice President of Big Ideas.

Malachi Rempken‘s winning video best embodied the brand by artfully depicting all the ugliness–including not getting any–that can occur from not starting the night with other types of booze. The 22-year-old short-form filmmaker will likely use the cash for to finance his next project.

Sunshine and Sachs Founder Ken Sunshine appeared on the CBS “Early Show” this morning to talk Tiger Woods. For those of you who may have missed it, Woods was involved in a car accident on his own property early last Friday morning in which he was injured and taken to a local hospital. Woods refused to speak with local law enforcement, and details around the accident have led to speculation that Woods may have been having an affair and the accident was related to an argument with his wife over the situation.

“If Tiger Woods were to call you today, what advice would you give him?” asked “Early Show” host Harry Smith. “You should have called me a couple of days ago,” joked Sunshine. Getting serious, Sunshine said, “It’s the perfect storm…and his people mishandled it.”

“The whole goal with these things is to make the media go away,” said Sunshine, and Wood’s actions – issuing a statement three days after the accident and “stonewalling” law enforcement – didn’t help his case. Sunshine’s agency has worked with a number of high profile celebrities over the years, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Barbra Streisand, Ben Affleck, Michael Moore, John Mayer and Justin Timberlake.
