'''www.our-own-reality.com''' is a news [[website]] on the [[Internet]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], [[The Lost and Damned]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]], much like the [[Libertytreeonline.com|Liberty Tree]] and [[Weazelnews.com|Weazel News]] websites, except it doesn't report things that [[Niko Bellic]] does throughout the [[Plot in GTA IV|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 [[wp:TMZ.com|TMZ]], and serves the purpose of being a satire on 2000s-era celebrity obsession. They parody the exploits of celebrities like [[wp:Angelina Jolie|Angelina Jolie]], [[wp:Paris Hilton|Paris Hilton]] and [[wp:Nicole Richie|Nicole Richie]], [[wp:Britney Spears#2006.E2.80.932007: Second child.2C personal and professional struggles.2C and Blackout|Britney Spears and her 2007 breakdown]], and [[wp:Sean Combs|Sean "Diddy" Combs]] among others. Elements are also taken from British ([[wp:Kate Moss|Kate Moss]] and the [[wp:British royal family|British royal family]]) and even Russian (billionaire [[wp:Andrey Melnichenko|Andrey Melnichenko]] and his marriage to model [[wp:Aleksandra Kokotovic|Aleksandra Kokotovic]]) tabloid culture. 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 [[wp:Britney Spears|Britney Spears]]' parenting skills; Dixon is also a parody of Spears' ex-husband [[wp:Kevin Federline|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. [[Mr. Parker|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 [[wp:Simon Cowell|Simon Cowell]]

* [[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 [[wp:Flaming (Internet)|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 sends a second email)''

* [[Cloe Parker]] and [[Jill Von Crastenburg]] fight and make up five times in a single evening at [[Maisonette 9]], which included catfights and drunken bisexual behavior. One instigator was Crastenburg saying hello to Parker's ex-boyfriend, also at the club.

* [[Katt Maguire]] poops on the sidewalk outside a London nightclub (poop up for sale on [[Craplist.net]] for $300)
* [[January Natasha Vasquez|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.
''(After "[[Actions Speak Louder than Words]] - [[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 Hancock|Tyrone "Tower" Hancock]])''
* [[Tony McTony]] plans to sue [[LC24]] magazine for defamation, after they said he has a Napoleon complex. The article includes a short biography of him and his lifestyle.

* [[Julian Glockwell]], the co-star of the 1980s action show [[Angel and the Knight]], quit his poorly-received blog.
* A streaker from a [[Liberty City Penetrators]] game issued a press statement that it was a very cold day, referring to his penis size.
