Celebrities on Twitter: Because Hatin’ Defies All Mediums of Communication


"I will not worry or try to handle more than 1 days worth of problems."
- Rev Run (9/28/2009)

"Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something."
- L.L. Cool J- (9/28/2009)

Some where a Queen is weeping .. Somewhere a King has no wife.
– Erykah Badu (9/25/2009)

"Keep steadily before you the fact that all true success depends at last upon yourself."
- Paula Abdul (9/22/2009)

Is this Twitter or Confucius Says?

Is it me, or does every celebrity on Twitter believe that in order to be seen as relevant, they have to have a masters in PHILOSOPHY?

I mean, each tweet/post is one semi- “Socratic” quote after another. We get it, you’re deep. You are an artist with immeasurable feeling and sense of self… but give us a break. I can just imagine these same celebs out in public dropping philosophic rhetoric in interviews, and whilst’ mingling with fans. Yea, the idea of such is laughable.

I’m Hatin!

Celebrities on Twitter, please take note: Your fans and followers want to know about you and your life. News about your newest business venture, your relationships, what you enjoy… the essential “youness” that makes you our favorite singer, dancer or personality. Everyday folks, such as myself, want to see the human side of your celebrity and see that you have thoughts and feelings outside of just yourself. Like when Trya Banks made an entire diatribe about Bacon, when Perez Hilton told of his personal horror of fighting with the manager of The Black Eye Peas or when Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore tweeted about their anniversary, this is what we want to see (Actually, I could have done without the 140 character lecture on bacon, but you get my drift).

Celebs, please don’t feel that you are fooling us by dropping spiritual and existential quotes. We understand that many of you are well educated. But for those of you that aren’t, hiding behind the thoughts of other so-called wise people, is a cop-out. The bottom line- Be Yourself. We want to see who you are… not the spiritually transformed, pseudo intellectual of your former/current self.

Get It, Got It, Good! Keep HATIN’ Alive!
