Christine Dolce (August 31, 1981 – February 6, 2017), also known as "ForBiddeN", was an American MySpace Internet celebrity in the mid-2000s.

Proclaimed "The Queen of MySpace" by Vanity Fair[1][2] and The Tyra Banks Show, Dolce created her profile shortly after its inception. With over a million "friends", Dolce was one of its most popular members.[3]

Dolce parlayed her MySpace celebrity into other projects including a website and fashion brand.[4] She also appeared in a celebrity pictorial in Playboys October 2006 issue and in the video game Def Jam: Icon. She modeled for Axe Deodorant's "Gamekillers" MySpace campaign[5] and appears on the cover of gothic rock band The 69 Eyes' album Angels. She also posed for one of PeTA's anti-fur ads.[6]

Dolce was named the Naughtiest "Cybervixen" on the Spike TV Guys' Choice Awards on June 13, 2007.[7]

Dolce died on February 6, 2017, from liver failure. She had been hospitalized since December 2016 after struggling throughout her life with alcoholism.[8]
