MySpace's Tom: I Am Not Your Friend!

Tom Anderson, co-founder of MySpace and supposedly a friend of everyone, has his very own "bodyguard" -- as one of his buddies swatted TMZ's camera away last night. Not friendly!


Our photog was outside Mood last night, where Tom went into an X-Games pre-party for a grand total of 19 minutes -- he exited smiling, but in no mood to talk to the photographers. Give him some, er, space?!

His buddy then struck our camera ... TMZ must not be one of his favorites! He's off our Top 8!

wired magazine cover
MySpace, along with Snocap, the legal peer-to-peer network created by Napster founder Shawn Fanning, said today it had penned a deal with the site that will allow artists to sell music directly to fans through their own MySpace music pages.

MySpace will now be able to provide tools to allow artists, as well as the record labels, to set prices, create stores, and sell music in MP3 format. This is without a question the natural progression for the News Corp owned MySpace in trying to establish other platforms of revenue with their still newlywed marriage with the world's leading social networking site.
