We reported a few days ago that Big Brother just landed in Second Life's virtual reality world and is set to recreate the series we have all learned to love watching. As always, Linden Lab is more than happy to accept the newcomer as this just adds up to its list of high profile residents like Sony, IBM and General Motors to name a few.

Anyway, we all know what goes on inside the house. Sometimes it's boring, at times interesting and during some other circumstances, things get a bit controversial and showbiz-like. It is in this light that the publisher of Germany's top-selling newspaper, Bild, is planning to launch the parallel universe's first tabloid ever, SL News.

Axel Springer, the above mentioned newspaper man, stated that it's going to be a weekly paper designed to satisfy the virtual population's appetite for news and gossip. "It will be a colourful tabloid, with snippets about show business and human interest tales from the avatar world," added Bild spokesperson Dirk Meyer-Bosse.

Furthermore, Springer detailed on his plans for SL News. Accordingly, it's to be launched this coming December, with a price tag of 10 to 15 Linden dollars. After the construction of an online editorial office, a real editor-in-chief will then recruit a team of roving reporters from among the avatar community.
