Think back. Before Youtube allowed you to ‘broadcast yourself’ and ‘friending’ or ‘following’ were household terms. Even before Myspace and the endless kaleidoscope of social networking and social media outlets at our fingertips (blogs, social bookmarking) became the norm, the divide between the celebrity and the commoner was almost un-crossable. Besides the occasional sweepstakes won and chance meeting on the street, the interaction between the celebrity and commoner was often left to professional encounters (paid public appearances, concerts, and the like).
However, with the advent and subsequent popularization of social networking, websites like (what was) Myspace and Facebook have helped blur that line, making celebrities all-the-more accessible to their adoring fans. And time has shown that no outlet has better proven the beclouding of the barrier than Twitter. Easily the most popular social networking site amongst celebs, the site is a testament to celebrity ‘outreach’, demoting celebs from their ‘demi-god’ statuses and, to great degree, humanizing them. Giving glimpses into what once were mysterious private lives.
On a note separate from fan interactions, Twitter’s ability to give the un- or under- promoted artist a chance to take matters into his or her own hands, separate from record labels or official websites, has also proven itself to be a benefit.
But, every good thing comes with a price and it is no exception.
Twitter has shown us the good, bad, and ugly of many of our favorite celebrities. Ask Rihanna, 50 Cent, Keri Hilson, Trina and other Urban pop stars and they’ll tell you the power of the almighty tweet – and the backlash it can ensue when an altercation arises or a joke goes too far. And then there’s poster-child for Tweet-misuse, Chris Brown. Rarely have two weeks gone by this year without having a negative headline and the keywords ‘Twitter’ or ‘tweet’ somewhere near his name. From e-altercations with fans and other celebs alike, Brown has become the reigning representative of what happens ‘when tweets go wrong’.
So it begs the question: While the benefits of marketing and PR are endless on the social media front, does Twitter cause the demystification of the “celebrity” – thereby making them unappealing?
In simpler terms, That Grape Juice wants to know…
LMAO…. Rihanna curried the s*** out of her
Yas at times but twitter has done a great great deal to alot of celebrities. One in particular Nicki Minaj without her broadcasting her wonderful personality she would be s*** as we speak about this topic
That’s why BEYONCE does not USE twitter
*flips hair and walks away*
Dont you just love getting off work and turning your phone on to find your inbox blown up with tweets? Me neither. Why I linked my Twitter to phone I dont know…
Yes.
Gaga tends to follow people who send her Not-so-nice tweets (cough HausofNicole cough)
anyway Twitter in general is one big STAN WAR if you ask me.
Acually Sam Chris been real good lately on twitter. He haven’t had a twitter break down in a while.
Sam where is QUEENBEY’S post for Harpers magazine?????
Im not here for ur ass always deleting s***!!!
In fact I dont know why I have a Twitter. I never use it…
@QUEENBEY
He deleted it because he only posted one picture and I posted the link to the whole spread…he’s probably updating it with the pictures I posted ….lol…Sam should let me work for him
Good for promotion. Private lives should be kept private. Usher, Kelly Rowland and a few other celebs are good at just using tweets for promotion and not using it for arguing etc.
@ISTAN4GAGA
Right?? Hausof NICOLE was nice to GAGA and all of a sudden she started calling her “rabbit teeth” and then said she would be out of the scene by the next 2 years…LMAO
Did you see the way Lady Gaga responded…LMAO!!!!
How #Lame
Ask Beyonce Who Run This Motha? Smartest B**** Out There!
*Flips Hair & Wait’s For Haters*
PS I want to see ‘The big purple thief’ go at it with the ‘Orange queen who stans for Mariah'(it would be HILARIOUS)
y’all know who I’m talking about lol
When ciara told her I you wouldn’t wanna see me on or off the stage I was cracking up true tea ri she slays on stage and will off stage to that why at the MET gala you spent the whole f night in the toilet the lady you were sitting with even tweeted the pics lol rihanna all gangster of you 2. When she said goodluck booking that stage ciara has been booking stages before her barbadian ass suckd jay and la reid for a deal!
I Think That TWITTER Is NOT Good For Celebs!

@YEABEY- LOL
@ISTAN4GAGA- Are u talkin about ‘T’???
If so that would be some funny s***, I think ‘T’ would win though….lol
Noone’s tryin to throw shade @ me .. smh
Yes I’m talking about T’ @QueenBey
I think its good for Celebs to use twitter because they can communicate with their fans on a more personal level…They can also promote whatever product they are doing as well..Its just that some of them especially Chris Brown (Tyler the Creator and the Odd Future Gang, Raz B, Fox news scandal) and Rihanna (Ciara, Sandra Rose (i was happy she went off on this sandra rose hating ass ho) and her haters and even some of her fans) Can get a little too personal and let haters get to there heads…
…
I hate Cockroach Rose as well…..maybe that’s who laceFlop was
LOL. I guess this is the s*** we get when news is slow.
Actually twitter was great for Chris it helped his comeback, when the radios station and tv wouldn’t play his music. He has been real good, he actually in detention right now (BOYS IN DETENTION, so he hasn’t had twitter outburst. LOL
*runs over to twitter to check T’s tweets* a lot of accusations have been flying around regarding plagiarism.
It’s refreshing to see that I am not the only one that despises (with a PASSION!!!!) Sandra Rose…if I die and that b**** is in heaven…I swear will pack my s*** up and head straight to hell.
….
I only use Twitter for music news.
@KD

_____________________________________________________
she has no life….she makes fake stories and she’s ALWAYS hating on someone……She hates Beyonce so much that she even went out of the way to say “Kelly’s new album Here I Am is expected to Outsell Beyonce’s 4” -_____- She is worse than MediaTakeout
it depends on the popstar if you ask me alot of celebs dont argue with fans and get into petty s*** with their fans/haters
anyway wondering when sam gonna post the new song by Jason derulo “it” slays
@LOL
It’s called “IT GIRL” lol……I never knew it was out…Time to go listen…..
Actually I think its part of entertainment, because if the celebrities didn’t act a fool, twitter would be boring. So actually every wins, the celebrity gets PR whether its good or bad, The blogs gets a story, and the fans are entertained.
@LOL
I don’t hear much autotune in this song…I kind of like it
Eventho I hate that TGJ once again involved Rihanna in their latest bitching.
I must admit I agree with the overall argument.
This is how two no-talent h*** spend thier time between album pushbacks.
..
@ YeaBey Is Schoolin’ Life
I know…and after Kelly’s projections came in the b**** went to say that Kelly isn’t worried because she know which side of the pond her bread is buttered LMAO…and I love how anyone who is more successful than her hateful ass is automatically categorized as a narcissist.
Her recent comments on Bey’s Party shot are as follows:
“All of a sudden Beyonce and Kelly Rowland are the best of friends — especially now that Kelly’s album sold only 75K in the first week. It’s obvious that the insecure Bey no longer sees Kels as a threat, so it’s all good.
It’s hard to imagine Bey smiling all in KellyRo’s face if Kel’s album, Here I Am, had outsold hers. “-the b**** is rabid and won’t let up but the good thing is all the people that she hates stay winning.
@YeaBey Is Schoolin’ Life
yes im in love with that song already that high note at the end did it for me
…
@LOL
I heard Jason hitting them high notes…LOL…its a nice song I like it but I don’t think its a SMASH compared to his other hits…this might do moderately well
TGJ is so biased it ain t even funny. Why are they using Rihanna for this story when the POSTER CHILD for Career-Gone-Bad-Cus-Of-Twitter is Chris Brown.
I mean, their point would have been much stronger if they had used Chris Brown’s many nervous breakdowns and the backlash they each engendered toward his career.
Dude even had to quit Twitter for a few months.
Sam just deleted my comments
Sam that was a b**** move
For the media savvy ones, no but for the immature ones, yes. Because a lot of them respond in anger & off the cuff their remarks make them seem not only really dumb but reckless about their career.
That’s a very interesting question.I’m not on Twitter so I don’t know EXACTLY what the artists are writing, but I don’t think that their twitter updates give us a TRUE insight to their lives.I don’t feel like I would learn that much if I was following an artist on Twitter.
I do miss the mystery but I think it was ruined anyway when artists started crossing over to the celebrity world.If I see an artist on the front page of every magazine on a daily basis, then I don’t see where the mystery is.Social media was just one step forward, but it isn’t the sole reason why the mystery is gone…
@RIHANNAVY AT LEAST CHRIS HASN’T CUSSED OUT HIS FANS, RIHANNA ALWAYS CUSSING OUT HER FANS AND THEY STILL LOVES HER. CHRIS ALWAYS TELLING HIS FANS THAT HE LOVES THEM. CHRIS ARGUES WITH HATERS WHO ATTACK HIM, BUT LEAVE MY BOO ALONE HE HAS BEEN OFF TWITTER AND IGNORING THE MESS ON TWITTER.
@QUEENBEY
HE DELETED MINES TOO….LMFAOOOO…THIS MOFO
That’s why Beyonce doesn’t get caught up in such flop and foolishness!
These celebs have no class.
Sam why do you delete comments? That’s unfair….Freedom of Speech….are we lying about the things you are being accused of? NO WE ARE NOT! They talk about it ALLLLLLL THE TIME ON TWITTER! TOO BAD YOU CAN’T DELETE THEIR COMMENTS…
AS @QUEENBEY SAID……DELETING OUR COMMENTS WAS A B**** MOVE!!!
SCAM….SHOW MY COMMENTS OR LOSE ANOTHER VISITOR.I AM FED UP WITH THIS S***!
I love me some Beyonce, but fortunately I have to take up for some of the other celebrities, everyone doesn’t have the status and the PR that Beyonce has, she doesn’t have to use twitter to get PR. She is on so many magazines and tv shows and commercials, so she doesn’t need twitter for PR. The other celebrities isn’t on her level and in this economy the record labels are not investing alot of PR for artists, so that leaves a celebrity on their own to garner some type of PR. Twitter can be a plus and negative, but free PR. Like Chris, some of his tweets that the blogs picks up, most of the time they are plugging in his album that released in 03/2011, so why he is getting bad PR, he is also getting good PR with an announcement of his album and he didn’t have to pay a dime out of his pocket, for the PR.
as for the pentagon…this was the first account I commented with.(I am not a fake.)
BEYONCE has a twitter ….she just doesnt tweet
She should have a record for having 1mil+ followers for NOT tweeting….lol

__________________________________________
^^^ This. I also miss it when I usually didn’t know much about an artist beyond their music. But I think the concept of mystery has disappeared not only with celebs, but even with normal people. In this day & age, everyone feels the need to share EVERYTHING with the world, and then get mad when there’s backlash from it.
I think if celebrities (and people IN GENERAL) used social media responsibly, this wouldn’t be an issue, but just like everything having to do with technology, there will always be a downside thanks to idiots who don’t know any better.
I can’t still believe how much of an ass Rihanna AKA RiHOna and Ciara AKA CERROR made out of themselves! This bickering was middle school/high school s***. Actually, I’m glad celebs have used it to cuss people out because it proved how fake they’ve been all this time, example, RiHona. She’s nothing but a stupid, uneducated, immature b**** who gets upset every time someone bashes her stupid music or her image. Face it b****, you’re nothing but a dirty ho with a stinking c******!
*still can’t
Twitter is the devil ! especially when dummies like Chris Brown don’t know how to use it, it plays against them, keep some privacy, look at Beyoncé, she don’t give a f*** about that twitt’ s***.
most of the great mysterious artists dont use twitter, and all the wannabe superstars do………..Beyonce doesn’t use twitter, Lauryn Hill doesn’t use twitter (*only for random business announcements)………prince doesnt use twitter………..madonna doesn’t use twitter………….Jay Z doesn’t use twitter……..SMART
TWITTER IS A TOOL
And like any tool, it should serve the purpose and only the purpose. A lot of celebrities use Twitter like it iis supposed to be used: Give info to advertise your work. Point blank.
Once day, TWITTER WILL BECOME LIKE MYSPACE. Nobody will give a damn about it, but the reputation of the likes of Chris Brown and Rihanna will be tarnished for life.
Folks just need to think before they tweet.
Twitter can kill celebrities look at Chris Brown all of these twitter people coming for him !
I know Rihanna cursed out her fans but who cares that`s old news !!!!
TWITTER KILLS…………….CELEBRITIES !!!
@BEYSTAN, You call Chris a dummy, but he reach out to his fans, through Social Media and got his career back, when no media outlet would play him or put him on television. So he isn’t too stupid. When you are not on every show and magazine like Beyonce, Chris has to used twitter to promote his music. I think he is a genious because other than 4 major shows, DWTS,TODAY SHOW, GMA,SNL, he had no promo on tv or Magazines following the release of his album, like your favorite is in every magazine and visiting her show they book her for and he still outsold R & B acts this year, except for Beyonce. So the bad PR he gets from his twitter fights, he also get positive PR for his album.
the nerve of some people
WTF?
First of all Chris Brown should be free to communicate with his fans minus the bullsh*t he has to endure from ppl who claim not to like him. If he is not your cup of tea STOP F*CKING TWEETING HIM and/or FOLLOWING HIM! Ppl talk sh*t but I have never seen him attack anyone that didn’t attack him 1st.
Then there are the damn lies that the so called legitimate media should be debunking. Instead they reprint lies that artists such as Chris Brown have to clear up. i.e. the RUPERT MURDOCH owned Star magizine (part of his FOX NEWS CORP), said he was playing a game of pick-up basketball, got mad about a call and started using homophobic slurs! the truth is, he was on the BODY 2 BODY set with Ace Hood, DJ Khalad & Rick Ross all day on the same day they claimed this happened! If the major media won’t debunk constant lies, what is an artists suppose to do!?
STFU @TGJ!
Yes, it totally is…I used to follow a lot of artists, and then stoped following all of them cuz I couldn’t take their s*** anymore!
@ZANIA
THANK YOU! ………Standing and applauding!!
The media tries to promote that artists (& gimmicks…LOL) shouldn’t use social media such as twitter because it “ruins the mystery”…I say that’s BS! The real reason they want ppl to shy away from using social media is because they DON’T CONTROL THE CONTENT! In the past the TV, RADIO, NEWSPAPERS & MAGAZINES could dictate what ppl say and heard from an artist. If they decide not to support a person as they did Chris Brown, then we heard nothing from him or when they mentioned him it was always in a negative light! Ppl have gotten wise to the media’s tricks of only supporting certain ppl (see Lady Gaga, Naked Perry, Adele, Rihanna, Beyonce, Foo Fighters, Train S****-Z, etc) while constantly denigrating others like Chris Brown!

********************************
ALL OF THESE ARE OLD ARTISTS! they probably aren’t that computer savvy. Younger artists grew up with social media! Madonna is 51, Gay-Z is 43, Beyonce is 29, L. Hill is 35, Prince is 51! None of these artists came alive durin the age of twitter. The media never tries to prevent these ppl from talking they cover every thing they say and always add a cute, favorable commentary to it. Can’t compare these with others who don’t receive the same media favor!!
Yes twitter is ruining the pop star. Many need to stay away because in the climate we live in now, every word is dissected and/ or splashed all Over the net. Some don’t really think before they tweet so they really need to lay off twitter, everybody doesn’t need to hear every random thought that comes into their heads.
@SAM,
Funny you go after Chris Brown but you have been cooing like a gay dove over FRANK “A** LOOKING” OCEAN! Why didn’t you mention his bullsh** attack on Chris since we are discussing twitter? Oh that’s right like I just said, the media has their favorites and their targets so I guess I just answerd my own question!
@ Mobwife:
The internet has been around since the 90s (not to say earlier). So are you really telling me that most people Beyonce’s age today can’t be computer savvy? Like 29 is old? And Prince is actually more in tuned with technology than you think. He was one of the first artists to release an album exclusively on the internet back in the 90s, not to mention he’s even won an award that recognized his “visionary” use of the internet.
Besides, it’s stupid to make generalizations like that. Loads of middle-aged people are extremely computer savvy (as without some of them, you wouldn’t even be using one right now), and there are young people who barely know how to use one. Not using Twitter has nothing to do with a knowledge of technology, it has to do with not dealing with the b******* that comes with it.
@ Lola:
And I bet you fantasize about that “stinking c******” hers, right?

@ Lola:

I agree with those who believe a celeb should be allowed to live their lives and tweeet if they want. Most of what I read is positive and helps promote CDs or movies. I see nothing wrong with celebs reaching out and enjoying their fans and vice versa. Besides, I love me some Breezy for better or for worse!
@King B
First of all, I was responding to a person who claimed that those I listed were so bright and so capable because they were not using twitter. I rightfully point out several facts, one being that more younger artists tend to use the medium they grew up with. Twitter is a new tool. It was not around 10 or 20 yrs ago! Of course they should all know how to use the i-n-t-e-r-n-e-t. Though twitter exists, not everyone uses it especially older celebs. This was actually the subject of a recent news poll!
Now what I find stupid, was the notion that the aforementioned celebs who don’t use twitter are someone how smarter than those that do use twitter. Now there’s a generalization for you to b**** about. The aforementioned artists as I stared, all receive nothing but positive media coverage and can use the traditional means of supporting their projects (CDs, books, movies etc). Other artists can’t use those same means. THAT WAS MY OVERARCHING POINT!
@LoLa
Gurl…..f*** outta here.
Well, that’s exactly why I DON’T use Twitter…
I don’t wanna ruin my undeniable CELEBRITY STATUS…

Twitter is like alcohol for some celebrities. You can tell some are pure attention whores who need the contact, they’d wither and die in the old days of celebrity intrigue and mystery where you didn’t write a tweet everytime you use the bathroom. Because of this some get ignorant, act a fool, are rude and just generally embarrass themselves. Some ruin the reputations their PR Team works so hard to cultivate: Rihanna/Chris Brown. Others reveal their own hypocrisy and basically show of their rabid crazy fans: Gaga and the bullying being done by her little monsters. Others are very smart and only use twitter for promotion or stay away from it entirely. One thing I can give Beyonce is she was smart enough to stay away from twitter.
I think Twitter will eventually die off but some celebs better rethink their marketing and how they portray themselves in the media.
People are soooo f****** dramatic. Twitter isn’t ruining s*** for anybody! All it’s doing is letting people know that celebrities are REAL people with feeling & emotions and they get mad & frustrated too! People can say all day that celebs need to ‘ignore’ the hate that comes their way but if you had people attacking you on twitter all day you would snap back at em too! These celebs aren’t saying anything that people don’t say in everyday life including some of you fools on this blog! People get to hide behind their computers screens & point fingers & pass judgement at celebs & tell them how they should live their lives & conduct thier life styles. FOH!
I died laughing when Rihanna put that ugly busted b**** Mandra Rose in her place! She deserved it! Bloggers act like they can say what ever they want about celebs & they are just supposed to take it cause they are ‘celebrities’ with money & that somehow their money is supposed to erase their feelings. B*******! If you are bad enough to dish it out you can take it! Ya’ll know damn well laughed when Rihanna went in on Ciara on twitter. It wasn’t a good look for anyo of them but I dont see how it affected their careers in anyway.
I wish like hell CB would stop responding to the lames that provoke him constantly on twitter but he isn’t doing anything that any of ya’ll wouldn’t do and you know it! Mainstream media didn’t know or give a flying f*** who Raz B was until he had a beef with Chris, then they tried to make CB out to be the bad guy and Raz B like this lil b**** ass victim! People laughed at Raz & called him crazy from all those WSHH videos he made and Chris didn’t say anything to or about him that people on blogs haven’t already said about him! I didn’t see anyone complaining when Tyler the a** went in on poor Bruno, and he called CB every damn name in the book including a ‘f*ggot’ but as soon as CB went in on his a** looking ass Chris again is deemed that bad guy! FOH! Chris gets hate all day from every direction and when he responds to a few lames that attacked him FIRST its a problem?! FOH!
Twitter is a great way for musicions to communicate with fans & promote thier ish! Technology is constantly evolving & twitter is the hot new ish that everyone is in to. Celebs shouldn’t have to exclude themselves from twitter just because people think it ruins the ‘mystery’. If you don’t like what certain celebs have to say then don’t follow them or read their damn tweets! Simple! Half the time the things celebs say on twitter is misinterpreted or some shady blogger takes a tweet makes fake ass story about it and gullible fools actually believe the s*** they read.
And please kill me with that ‘its hurting their brand’ s***! Chris sure as hell still is getting heavy airplay, getting nominated & winning awards & performing at Award shows! Twitter is NOT keeping him from having success! Stop with the f****** dramatics!
I don’t think twitter can ruin a pop star. It just make the star more human to their audience. And its fun to know what really happens in real in th elife of our idols,, who are they friend with, or ennemies.. but if they talk to much bad stuffs.. maybe it could change the image someone have on it. But finally, we just know who they really are in their life!
Maybe I’m just a bit old school , but I find twitter to be a bunch of nonsense. I don’t want nor do I need to know what a celebrity is doing 24/7. People that are this obsessed with other people lives has that stalker mentality that can always get out of hand.
@VA STAND UP HOW OLD ARE YOU? WHO NEEDS TWITTER TO LET SOMEONE KNOW A CELEBRITY IS A REAL PERSON. IF YOU KNOW HOW STUPID AND IGNORANT THAT SOUNDS YOU WOULDN’T MAKE SUCH A RIDICULOUS COMMENT. IF THAT AREN’T REAL THEN WHAT ELSE ARE THEY? ALIENS FROM ANOTHER PLANET.

*******************************
I disagree with you and think you missed @VA Stand Up’s entire point. Twitter, for better or for worse, is a tool that is here to stay. It has been used successfully by many to survive in this DIY (do it yourself) industry. The entertainment industry is big business and only a select few are supported by the mainstream music & media. Those who are not in the fold have done a masterful job of keeping in touch with their fans and growing their brand. Unfortunately sometimes they feel the need to defend their honor from various skanks (lying media reports, jealous non-talented ppl in the industry & non-fans).
More to @VA Stand Up’s point, you can sometimes get a glimps of the person that the media wont allow you as a fan to see. They discuss their charity work and encourage fans to also do charity work. They may tell an interesting senerio from their childhood which may mirror an experience their fans are going through, etc. Anyway, twitter is here to stay and celebs will have to learn how to best navigate it to fit their needs and that of their fans!
