Twitter: Fans Shadow A-list, B-list Stars
Blow-By-Blow Details from John Mayer, Ashton Kutcher, Jamie Oliver
Apr 30, 2009
Julia Roberts made news this week after cursing like a drunk pirate at an event honouring fellow Hollywood hotshot Tom Hanks. One glance at Twitter this morning at approximately 10:40 a.m. ET and it's apparent Roberts is not the only celebrity who enjoys an expletive now and again.
So what exactly do their twitters mean? Decide for yourself if it's poetry or publicity-seeking.
The blow-by-blow details aren't a conversation between stars. Mostly, it's a snapshot, a brain dump at any given moment in time with the comments posted sequentially. Some, like Solange Knowles, twitter to promote their latest project. Others share links to an amusing news story.
Who's On Now
For the most part the handles are self-explanatory. ThisisRobThomas is Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty; singer Solange Knowles (sister of superstar Beyoncé/Sasha Fierce); gossip blogger, Perez Hilton; CNN's Anderson Cooper; Aplusk aka Ashton Kutcher; The Naked Chef Jamie Oliver; Ryan Seacrest of American Idol fame and fortune; John Mayer, singer and ex of Jennifer Aniston; Kevin Smith, a brilliant filmmaker. Dogma, anyone?
