Thanks to the ever-increasing popularity of Twitter, many celebrities have started “micro-blogging” about what’s going on in their lives. I for one enjoy following some of them and I am now starting to understand how ridiculous some celebrity news stories can be. A celebrity will Twitter something and suddenly its a big news story on all the major Hollywood news sites.
If I was a celebrity, I would be happy with this change as now they can actually control what is said about them! I would much have someone reporting on something I actually said than making something up based on some rumor. Granted, the news reporters can still twist what a celebrity tweets into a fictional story but at least Twitter gives the celebrities a way to defend themselves.
Those that know me know that I love pop culture and I usually can tell you what’s going on with all the celebrities. I think following entertainment news is a lot more enjoyable than following the real news– which can be really depressing! I do feel sorry for the celebrities in the fact that they have almost their every move captured by paparazzi. Look at what all the constant attention did to Britney Spears! I’m glad she was at least able to make fun of the situation with her song, ”Piece of Me.”
I’m Mrs. Lifestyles of the rich and famous
(You want a piece of me)
I’m Mrs. Oh my God that Britney’s Shameless
(You want a piece of me)
I’m Mrs. Extra! Extra! this just in
(You want a piece of me)
I’m Mrs. she’s too big now she’s too thin
(You want a piece of me)
Its a weird position to be in when I want the paps to leave the celebrities alone yet I’m one of the ones who can’t wait to read/see what my faves were up to. There needs to be some kind of balance and I think Twitter helps that– if we can see pics and get news from the celebrity themselves, why do we need someone else to get the news for us?
