Rumours of upcoming layoffs at MySpace have been bubbling under since Christmas, but according to the Financial Times and All Things Digital, today is when they’ll actually happen.

International offices look set to take the brunt of the cuts, which are part of MySpace’s wider restructuring as a ‘social entertainment’ service.
