Welcome to my first blog of 2010! I hope it showers you all with health, happiness, and prosperity!
The way we communicate with each other over the internet is constantly changing and evolving. It seems like there is always some new way of getting connected with people. First it was the use of messengers (for example Yahoo or MSN), and then personalized pages such as My Space or Facebook. The hottest #TT right now though seems to be .......that's right! Twitter.
An ever increasing amount of people are deciding to join in on the fun, and surprisingly a large number of them are celebrities.
I have to say that I am surprised by the number of actors, sports figures, writers etc that are on Twitter. I mean why not, it is afterall an effective means to reach a large number of fans with up to the minute info about album releases, new and upcoming films etc.
There seem to be alot though who do not use the service as merely a plug for themselves; they actually share what is going on in their lives at the moment, and/or what's on their mind.
I know that there are those who are skeptical of celebrities on Twitter.They are just accounts that have been set up to fool people. Well, that is a fair arguement, but I will continue on with my blog based on my own personal belief that they are who they say. Afterall, ANYONE can lie and pretend to be someone they're not, it's does not just pertain to those with 'celebrity status'.
Innocent til proven guilty I say (for anyone).
I find it wonderful that many of them have decided to share themselves with us 'normal' folk. They have made me laugh, cry, think, and they have inspired. Some are even kind enough to respond if written to.
Some of my personal favourites include @StephenFry, @WayneBrady, @omarepps, @WillyVille, @oliviawilde, @JimCarrey, @1capplegate, @TheEllenShow, @MARLONWAYANS (or any of the Wayans fam, they are all awesome!),and @Kelsey_Grammer (just to name a few!) I am on and off of the computer throughout the day, and no matter how I'm feeling (good or bad), after catching up on Twitter, I always feel better.
Somedays I'm whisked off to another part of the world by Stephen Fry, or others sitting down at the family table of the Wayans busting a gut laughing! I can't count the number of days that the inspiring quotes posted by Omar Epps, Wilmer Valderrama, and again the Wayans have REALLY helped lift my spirits.
I would really like to thank those celebs who have decided to open up. I believe it takes alot of courage and belief in self to do so, as the profession can be very harsh when personal info is exposed.
I think that a very large number of us could either care-less about the majority of crap that the media throw at us, or even bother to believe it. Most 'stories' are obtained through invasion of privacy and/or reworded & 'photoshopped'.
Having these people (celebs) share what and how much of themselves they desire to is good enough for me, and should be acceptable to their fans.
I believe for most of it is.
Gee, if people continue to turn to Twitter for their fill of 'HollyWood gossip', then where will that leave the poor paparazzi?
...hopefully at the line of a local unemployment office.
