back to article Alt rock diva's nude snap 'leaked' to tweetosphere

The Tweetosphere is abuzz with speculation about the release of a picture that bares the breasts of alternative rock diva Hayley Williams. The official explanation is that the singer and keyboard player was "hacked" and the boobalicious pic was posted to twitpic.com by the intruder. A more cynical person might be tempted to …

    Those breasts don't look sufficiently developed, so she must be under 18.

    Purposely leaked? I wouldn't be surprised

    Given the amount of "viral" video on YouTube that's turned out to have been skeezy mass-marketing ploys, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if this hadn't been leaked on purpose.

    Kinda reminds me of all the celebrity sex tape revelations lately. Has anyone else here noticed that damn' near every "major" celebrity or other famous-type person has had some kind of trashy, grainy, homemade sex tape leaked these days? The first few times it was surprising, but now it seems to be de rigueur for any serious famous person to have a sex tape, or they just haven't "arrived". For instance, the new Miss USA -- as I recall, it wasn't 24 hours after she was "crowned" that somebody leaked a tape of her in some pole-dancing contest somewhere. And remember Carrie Prejean? And John Edwards?

    I'm at a point now where I think perhaps the whole sex-tape and nude-photo leakage is being done on purpose, for the publicity. It's getting to be like MSIE security holes, or Facebook privacy violations.

    No, really. This _is_ 2010...

    Young women baring all in front of webcams and flashing various anatomical parts (and&or using them) is now considered one of humanity's well-established customs, in the same category as mowing the grass on Saturday and walking the dog in the evening.

    Released on purpose?

    Although it undoubtedly was released on purpose, the arguments say that the meta data show the snap was taken 8mins before being posted. If i was hacking her account i would make sure an modify the meta data to show that too...

    Title

    She's 21 so it's safe to look...

    As a fan of her and her band I thought she would have been above doing this for publicity - she seemed "better" than that. The whole "sex-tape" or "nude pictures" thing is just so tacky - it just seems to be "my talent isn't enough so simply think of me as a sex object" (of course, Paris has *no* talent... so had to use the tape for her "fame").

    I guess it's just the progression of "fame" having nothing to do with talent, just how far you're prepared to go to debase yourself. Pathetic really, but very indicative of modern society.

    Sorry luv, it's been done

    Yawn. Can't these Ω-list celebs come up with anything new? Seen without her boobs, she's nothing to write home about anyway. Take a tip from Lily Allen, she's far prettier and shows off her body on a regular basis in things like GQ or Arena and indeed quite a lot of it on stage; that's what the *clever* girls do. Being hacked is so 20th Century.

    tweeting

    I've never taken any kind of interest in tweeting, with 20 years professional IT experience under my belt you'd have thought I'd know something about this technology. I don't.

    I have no interest in reading completely useless messages posted by celebrities or some other Tom, Dick, Harry, Peaches, Paris or whatever useless name weird parents can choose for their pretentious kids.

    To show that lack of ignorance of the technology (if you can really call it technology?), I understood tweeting was about short messaging, getting information out in difficult circumstances where people have limited bandwidth on their internet connections, so what the heck is this idea of tweeting photographs all about? Doesn't it go complete against the idea of small message sizes (measured in bytes)?

    But I really can't be bothered to even go look it up. Haven't people really got better things to do with their lives than read up on the drab and dreary offings of some wannabe celebrity that's got as much talent as my dead mouse?

    Well, actually, I haven't got a mouse, neither a live one, or a dead one. Said for dramatic effect.

    Someone, someone in the know, please tell me, this tweeting lark, am I missing something?
