Facebook bashing has taken an A-list turn: Angelina Jolie has been bashed by someone who set up a false account pretending to be Kate Winslet.
Interestingly, Kate "is currently a popular target amongst Fakebooker’s, with more false sites in her name than Britney Spears, Sarah Palin and U.S. President Barack Obama," according to Entertainment Wise.
In this particular post-Oscars instance, "Kate Winslet" called Angelina Jolie, her competitor in the Best Actress category, a "fat-lipped crazy cow."
Now imagine how fierce something like this would get in teen Hollywood.
