Twitter: The Bridge Between the Worlds’ of Average Joes and the Worlds’ of Celebrities


Why do people do not like Twitter? I’m one of those people that have to stay connected with any and everything pop culture. Twitter helps me to do that. I’m able to figure out what “my friends in my head (said like Wendy Williams)” are doing.

If you check my twitter the only non celebrities that I follow are only 3 people, my sister and 2 of my friends. I only use twitter to stay updated with “my friends in my head.” I think I only posted one status tweet. Everything else has been tweets to the celebrities that I follow.

When people tell me that they do not like twitter either because they don’t understand how to use it or just don’t like it, I tell them why I use it. Most of them are still not convinced because they believe it’s really not the celebrity that’s tweeting. That’s true in some cases. Some celebrities have their PR tweet for them or it’s not them at all. It’s a fan or etc. Ohhhh! The deceptions in the virtually community; how it prevents you from doing great things.  In most cases, it is the celebrities that are actually tweeting. How do I know if the celebrities I follow actually are the ones tweeting? When I watch interviews on them most of them state it sometimes in some interview. That’s how I found out about Mariah Carey, P. Diddy, and Hill Harper (just a few “friends in my head” that I follow on twitter.).

The one scary thing about twitter, which a lot of celebrities had to face, is stalkers. Twitting where you been, where you are, and where you going to be, as a celebrity or anyone for that matter, is not the best idea in the world. For example, NBA player Derek Fisher who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers, twitted about all the places he had been, was at, and was planning to go. An obsessed (Speaking of Obsessed, go buy MARIAH CAREY’S new album MEMOIRS OF AN IMPERFECT ANGEL. In stores now.) fan started claiming that she was his wife. She even showed up at events that he was at claiming that she was with him and they were married. Of course she had a restraining order put on her, but Derek Fisher is not and will not be the only victim of this.

Warning: People let’s be smart when we interact on these virtually communities. We do have insane creeps out there.

Here are a list of celebrities that are on Twitter. This list is a list of actual celebrities that are tweeting. Happy tweeting!
