Octomom, Barta, Angelina and More Debate Online

Now-a-days, being a celebrity is about more than being in music or movies. It's about personality. It's about interacting with fans, whether it be via Twitter, Facebook, or their own websites. Luckily for us, we live in a digital age where you don't have to be in the same city as our favorite celeb to get a piece of them. The fame-craze has just gotten bigger, it would seem, with the debut of a website that allows you to not only speak with them, but also to debate with them.


New social media site Deeyoon is all about debates. As long as you have a webcam and a microphone for your computer, you can participate. The site covers a wide array of topics from sports to politics, allowing anybody to voice their opinion on what they think. There are very few rules (like don't get naked, guys), allowing for people to express themselves, no matter how unpopular their opinion may be. People can click "agree" under those they side with, to determine a winner for each room, meaning you don't have to be on cam to participate.

Recently, the site got a huge boost when an array of celebrities, reality and music alike, have agreed to appear on the website to debate both with each other and fans (and probably haters, too). The long list of names includes my buddy and established singer Adam Barta, MTV's resident Jersey Shore bitch Angelina Pivarnick, do-er of all things media related Nadya "Octomom" Suleman, former Real Housweife Alex McCord, and many others.

In the preview I have seen, Adam Barta and Angelina Pivarnick (shown in the video above) went toe to toe debating gay marriage. The whole ordeal was very intense, and both of them stood their ground regardless of what the other had to say. I really have always loved Angelina -- I'm always a fan of the bitchy girls who never apologize for doing what they do, but I was saddened to hear her views on the matter. Things get very heated towards the end when Angelina uses the fact that she isn't gay as her defense for being against the matter, causing Barta to go on an extended rant where he informed her that the laws aren't up to her, and we all walk away learning that taxes are important.

These stars are not shy about their opinions, and they are ready to let loose. The madness all starts October 28th. Get on over to Deeyoon now and set up your account so you aren't late for all the action. And don't be afraid to voice your own views on world issues while you wait for the big names to make their debut.

What would you debate about? Would you go on there saying New York City is the worst of the Real Housewives franchise versus McCord? How about getting Pivarnick riled up by saying Jersey Shore was better without her? Now is your chance! Not that I am encouraging you to be a huge troll or anything like that.
