The Jolene Blalock Appreciation Thread!

[Aquarius]

I already put this in the news section, but in case you didn't see, Jolene posted this on Twitter today:

I'm performing with Second City Alumni for one night only. Sat 16th @ 8pm 6560 Hollywood Blvd.

Go see her if you can!!!

[Aquarius]

Double-post--sorry.

I checked Jolene's Second City Comedy Troupe's Facebook page and there are a whole bunch of new videos on there.

Ok, I've known about this for a couple of days, but I was waiting on confirmation/denial from Jolene herself before I said anything.

There is a bogus Twitter account out there that's pretending to be Jolene, following fans, etc. It followed the Expanse's account a couple of mornings ago. If you don't look too closely, it looks just like her real account--same background wallpaper, same profile pic, same location and quote, etc.

On closer inspection:
- only 3 of her most recent tweets are copied over

- the real Jolene is greatly loved and has over 5,000 followers. The fake only has a couple hundred.

- conversely, Jolene is a busy lady and is only following 10-15 accounts, while the fake is following over 1,000, including fans and stupid crap.

- the url to Jolene's real account is http://www.twitter.com/JoleneBlalock. This means that JOLENE BLALOCK appears by per profile pic.

- the url to the fake is http://www.twitter.com/JoleneActress. By the profile pic, it says JOLENE ACTRESS. This is the main way they're trying to fool you. On Jolene's REAL account, her name is by her profile pic, but off to the side where the name, location, and bio info go, she put "Jolene, Actress." The fake has "Jolene Actress" in BOTH spots, minus the comma where it says "Name:"

-also, a close look shows that what the real Jolene put for "Location:" ("Second star to the right."), the fake included in the field for the bio quote.

So, if you're on Twitter and this account follows you, just block it. I tweeted her about this through the Expanse's account, and she sent this tweet late last night for all her fans to see, so we've got it directly from her.

ETA: since last night, she has changed the "Jolene, Actress" thing on her page to say "Jolene Rapino". This is likely to prevent further confusion with the fake account. So if you see *both* last names on it, you know you've got the right one.

Thanks for the head's-up on that. I'll retweet the DE's notice about it and block the fake account and help get the word out.

Thanks for the warning some other Jolene fans on other boards were supicious about these phony messages .It's a good thing Jolene was notified and changed her name on her official twitter page,

[Aquarius]

I wasn't aware that anyone had received messages from the phony account. Just follows. That's kinda creepy!

Some people are lame 0_0 man if you're going to impersonate someone you don't copy their tweets >_< they must have thought they were being clever when all they did was have an epic fail.

I just wanted to post another warning About Twitter posts about Jolene photos the past 2 weeks t the links to alot of these pages are fakes to lure people to click on them they're gambling sights and other pages that have nothing to do with Jolene at all.Some of them are sleazy sites anyway that's what someone reported on one of the Jolene boards.

[EntAllat]

That just ticks me off that someone (or someones) would impersonate her like that to dupe/spam/scam her fans.
