www.our-own-reality.com is a news website on the Internet in Grand Theft Auto IV, much like the Liberty Tree and Weazel News websites, except it doesn't report things that Niko Bellic does throughout the storyline or anything other than celebrity news. The only articles that remotely effect Niko are the website's expose on Bryce Dawkins being gay, and a short ridicule they make of Brucie Kibbutz.

The website is a parody of gossip news sources such as TMZ, and serves the purpose of being a satire on 2000s-era celebrity obsession. They parody the exploits of Angelina Jolie (Samantha Muldoon), Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie (Cloe Parker and Jill Von Crastenburg), Kim Kardashian (January Natasha Vasquez), Britney Spears and her 2007 breakdown (Kerry McIntosh), and Sean "Diddy" Combs (Tony McTony) among others. During the course of the game, they specifically report on:


(After the last mission, "A Revenger's Tragedy" or "Out of Commission")

  • Bryce Dawkins is effectively exposed as being homosexual after a photo turns up of him kissing "a MALE fitness instructor". Dawkins aggressively denies that he is gay, but goes to a rehab clinic for reasons he would not elaborate on (strong rumors say the facility treats sex addictions). The photo does not feature Bryce's kiss, but only Bryce's image next to a gay-looking man who is not his boyfriend Bernie Crane. Though the text description matches Bernie (fitness instructor living in a lavish apartment), it is more than possible that Bryce had several boyfriends.
  • Samantha Muldoon adopts a 14th child
  • Tyler Dixon gets his ponytail shortened slightly
  • Tony McTony severely beat a stripper from the Triangle Club in Bohan during sex; Several of McTony's girlfriends, who were also likely beaten, defended McTony and said she "had it coming". McTony was only punished with 3 days of community service.
  • "Like" voted word of the year, followed by "Whatever" and "Totally"
  • A very positive review of the dance film "Popping"
  • Kerry McIntosh chases a paparazzi who peeped into her bathroom with a kitchen knife

(After "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend")

  • Tyler Dixon requests $3 million dowry from Cloe Parker. Other elements of their reliationship are discussed; Cloe is the mother of a three-month old black baby which she normally lacks proper caution in caring for (reference to criticisms of Britney Spears' parenting skills; Dixon is also a parody of Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline). Dixon claims the child is his, even though he is white and he met Cloe only two months before the baby was born. Cloe's billionaire father also stated that he sorely disapproves of Dixon.
  • Cherise McCormic, a 1980s celebrity featured on Waning With The Stars, may have faked being a drug addict to appear on the show
  • Reality shows struggling to find "cranky" British judges, a reference to singing judge Simon Cowell
  • Condemning Crastenburg for a small amount of cellulite
  • In response to Brucie Kibbutz's persistence (see below), the staff of the website briefly mock him and demand he leave them alone
  • Tony McTony criticized for giving his newborn son Pete McTony "too normal a name".
  • Liberty Governor candidates John Hunter and Michael Graves participate in an immature online flame war to appeal to younger voters
  • Samantha Muldoon switches religions 3 times in 1 week, eventually deciding on the Epsilon Cult

(After "Tunnel of Death" - Brucie Kibbutz will send Niko a link to the site, and tells him that as hard as he tries to get featured on the site, sending in workout photos and even sex tapes, they are only reporting on Tony McTony and Tyrone "Tower" Hancock)

  • Katt Maguire poops on the sidewalk outside a London nightclub (poop up for sale on Craplist.net for $300)
  • JNV begins a crash diet (possibly anorexia) to better her career
  • Kirk Simplex buys his 8th English castle
  • Weazel News launching a new channel, Weazel War, showing what Our Own Reality calls "US troops kicking ass around the world" 24 hours a day.

(Beginning of the game)
