Yesterday, we talked about the scuffle on Ashton Kutcher’s Twitter page, when Ashton got on his Twitter to defend Joe Paterno, then deleted those tweets after all of his Twitter followers basically told him to STFU. Ashton claimed that he didn’t know or realize the full extent of the situation at Penn State, and he apologized and said that he was going to stop tweeting. That lasted a few hours, and then he started tweeting again, of course. He tweeted the header photo tagged “What’s a picture worth?” and of course he also had to give us a lengthy, self-absorbed essay on why we shouldn’t blame him for being so crass and stupid. Here is that essay, titled “Twitter Management”. The only editing I’ve done on this is some paragraph breaks:

Up until today, I have posted virtually every one of my tweets on my own, but clearly the platform has become too big to be managed by a single individual. When I started using twitter, it was a communication platform that people could say what they were thinking in real time and if their facts were wrong the community would quickly and helpfully reframe an opinion. It was a conversation, a community driven education tool, and opinion center that encouraged healthy debate.

It seems that today that twitter has grown into a mass publishing platform, where ones tweets quickly become news that is broadcast around the world and misinformation becomes volatile fodder for critics.

Last night after returning home from work, I walked by the television and simply saw a headline that Joe Paterno had been fired. Having no more information than that, I assumed that he had been fired due to poor performance as an aging coach. As a football fan and someone who had watched Joe’s career move from that of legend/innovator to a head coach that fulfilled his duty in the booth, I assumed that the university had let him go due to football related issues.

With that assumption (how dare I assume) I posted a tweet defending his career. I then when about my evening, had some dinner, did a little work, and about an hour later turned on ESPN where I got the full story. I quickly went back on my twitter account and found a hailstorm of responses calling me an “idiot” and several other expletives that I’ve become accustom to hearing for almost anything I post. I quickly retracted and deleted my previous post; however, that didn’t seem enough to satisfy people’s outrage at my misinformed post.

I am truly sorry. And moreover am going to take action to ensure that it doesn’t happen again. And as an advocate in the fight against child sexual exploitation, I could not be more deeply saddened by the events at Penn State.

A collection of over 8 million followers is not to be taken for granted. I feel responsible to deliver informed opinions and not spread gossip or rumors through my twitter feed. While I feel that running this feed myself gives me a closer relationship to my friends and fans I’ve come to realize that it has grown into more than a fun tool to communicate with people. While I will continue to express myself through @Aplusk, I’m going to turn the management of the feed over to my team at Katalyst as a secondary editorial measure, to ensure the quality of its content. My sincere apologies to anyone who I offended. It was a mistake that will not happen again.

[From Ashton’s Twitter]

I just… Jesus, he’s such a douche-face. Let’s take it point by point:

*“Where ones tweets quickly become news that is broadcast around the world and misinformation becomes volatile fodder for critics.” First, it should be “one’s”. Second, where was the misinformation besides Ashton’s OWN lack of information. It’s not “misinformation” to say “Ashton Kutcher tweeted this, and then deleted it.” That’s reporting. And those “critics” are the same people who are defending CHILDREN who were raped and abused – a cause that Ashton should be well aware of, right?

*“Last night after returning home from work, I walked by the television and simply saw a headline that Joe Paterno had been fired…” I realize that television work moves faster than film work, and Ashton might even need to be at the studio for 16-hour days or something, but he’s got a giant trailer and he’s got enough breaks in his day – the only way you could avoid hearing about this story is if he literally hadn’t picked up a newspaper, read anything online or watched TV all week. Which I don’t buy.

*“With that assumption (how dare I assume)”… this is the problem stupid people have with free speech. Free speech doesn’t just apply to you. It also applies to people who disagree with you. Ashton as the right to say, tweet, write, assume, whine, cry and lie about whatever he wants to. Everyone else has the right to respond and call him a d-bag. That’s free speech.

*The whole last paragraph is just funny. Like his Twitter page is a newspaper or something. “Editorial control” = bitch please. Go bone some club girls, doucheface.

I’ve been following this ongoing Joe Paterno/Penn State debacle for most of the week. If you’d like to read real stories about it, go here to Gawker/Deadspin’s ongoing reporting. The basic gist is that Penn State’s Assistant Coach Jerry Sandusky was raping young children in the showers, and when Penn State’s legendary coach Joe Paterno was told about it by an eyewitness, he simply informed Penn State’s athletic director, who then began a coverup involving several key administrators. There’s additional evidence to suggest that Paterno knew a lot more, but kept quiet and allowed the coverup to take place. Well, everything just went crazy this week, and Paterno thought that he could just quietly retire, but he just got fired yesterday. Riots ensued on the Penn State campus – Paterno is a beloved figure, yes, but are those kids seriously rioting because they didn’t think he should lose his job for failing to inform law enforcement about children being raped?!? I don’t care if football is a “religion”. When children are being violently assaulted, YOU DO SOMETHING. And yes, people are going to get fired, rioters.

Anyway, I wouldn’t be talking about any of this except that a douchey celebrity has now inserted his d-bag self into the whole controversy.

Following an avalanche of criticism, Ashton Kutcher deleted a controversial Tweet Wednesday night protesting the firing of Joe Paterno, admitting he hadn’t known about the sex-abuse scandal at Penn State.

“How do you fire Jo Pa? #insult #noclass as a hawkeye fan I find it in poor taste,” Kutcher wrote to his 8 million Twitter followers.

His followers responded with an explosion of insults, many of them extremely vicious, blasting the actor for defending the 84-year-old coach, who is under fire for possibly covering up former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky’s alleged sex abuse of young boys.

Kutcher, 33, soon realized his mistake, quickly backpedaled and admitted his ignorance. “Heard Joe was fired, fully recant previous tweet!” he wrote. “Didn’t have full story.”

He later deleted that message, too, and added this one: “As an advocate in the fight against child sexual exploitation, I could not be more remorseful for all involved in the Penn St. case.”

He also made this pledge: “As of immediately I will stop tweeting until I find a way to properly manage this feed. I feel awful about this error. Won’t happen again.”

This is the second Twitter faux pas in recent months for Kutcher. On Sept. 11, he backtracked after calling it “the greatest day of the year,” because it was the start of football season.

Paterno had earlier announced that he would retire at the end of the football season. Also fired was Penn State president Graham Spanier.

[From People]

It’s funny because Ashton Kutcher is a g–damn fraud. It’s funny because Mr. Real-Men-Don’t-Enslave-Children was defending a person who helped do just that. And seriously, how can you hear the Joe Paterno was fired and NOT hear WHY it happened? Watch the news for two minutes, you’ll get the gist.

James Franco was a guest on The View Friday to promote Rise of The Planet of the Apes, which has done incredibly well at the box office and with critics despite Franco’s dire predictions and sub-par performance. I found Franco to be pretty charming in the interview, as I often have been charmed by the guy. (Excepting Oscars season. Yes, I know I should know better.) He’s full of himself and he’s an ass, but there’s something sweet about the way he smiles and shrugs. If only he could have that same kind of enthusiasm for the roles he’s not into playing instead of acting like he’s above them.

Franco was on the show with Frieda Pinto and with famed motion capture actor Andy Serkis when Joy Behar asked him about Twitter. He admitted that he was getting him into trouble with it and claimed he was amping up the tweets trying to get people to respond:

I was addicted to [Twitter]. I never tweeted words I always did like images and video.

Sherri – like Anthony Weiner? Images.

[laughs] I did that [Tweeted the Oscars]. For me it was a way of showing another story of the Oscars.

Some people didn’t like that. For me it was interesting it had never been done before. I wanted to give a perspective of the other side.

But, I always think ‘I want ‘em to respond more’ and you think like, ‘how could I amp this up with the tweets?’ So I was getting into trouble, I was getting into dangerous areas.

Some of the trouble Franco got into on Twitter involved mocking Oscar writer Bruce Vilanch for criticizing his Oscar hosting performance. (Franco later apologized.) He also wrote “F#&k the Yale Daily News” in response to an editorial saying his Twitter messages sucked.

Then Franco quit Twitter and claimed social media was over anyway, since he was such a trend-setter. (I’m making up that last part, but I assume it was implied.) Now he’s admitting he was addicted to the affirmation that came from Twitter and he blames his nasty scrawled messages on trying to get a response out of people. He did get plenty of responses, he just couldn’t take it when they weren’t glowingly positive.

On the View, Franco also talked about his studies and interests. When Elisabeth started asking him a question, he gave her the serious side eye (that’s at 13:20 into this video and I put the screenshot below) then when he realized she was being nice he warmed up and smiled. When she asked him if there was anything left that he really wanted to study, he joked “I kind of know everything,” then quickly added “No I don’t, I’m middle of the class in all my classes.” Then he explained “I have made time for all my interests… Literature, art and film are basically the things that I love and I studied them.” Oh Franco, you’re so well rounded and self-congratulatory. Just please crawl out of your own ass a little bit and join us in the real world. I had such high hopes for you.

We heard yesterday that Kat Von D pulled a Paris Hilton and walked out of the studio of Good Day L.A. just prior to a scheduled interview promoting the new season of her reality show, L.A. Ink. Reports differ as to why Kat took offense, but it seems to be the fact that Kat’s planned introduction included the news of her breakup from Jesse James. Good Day L.A. claims it got the go-ahead to ask about the breakup during their interview with Kat, but Kat claims she asked them not to open with that breakup and that they ignored her. She didn’t like that and marched off in a huff.

Kat Von D says she had a DAMN good reason for walking off “Good Day L.A.” this morning — telling TMZ, she made one reasonable request … and producers repeatedly BLEW HER OFF.

Kat tells us, she agreed to answer a question about her breakup from Jesse James on one condition — that the anchor didn’t mention the split in his introduction.

But according to Kat, that request was IGNORED — and as we previously reported, anchor Jeff Michael read out an introduction that highlighted Kat and Jesse’s breakup.

Kat says she saw what was on the teleprompter long before Jeff read it — and even pulled a producer aside to have someone change the script … but nothing happened.

According to Kat, she “very politely” informed them … if it wasn’t changed, she wouldn’t be able to go on. But no one changed squat, so Kat beat it.

Later, during the show, the executive producer went on the air — explaining Kat’s only prior request was not to bring up Sandra Bullock or Michelle McGee … a request “Good Day” honored.

Nevertheless, Kat adds, “I have no interest in going back on, but I wish them all the best.”

[From TMZ]

Kat and Good Day L.A. host Jillian Barberie then got into it over Twitter, with Kat calling the show “disrespectful.” You can read those details on People if you’re interested. Entertainment Tonight has video of Good Day L.A. anchors discussing the walk off. I really like what anchor Jillian Barberie said about Kat leaving like that. She said “You live a public life and were promoting your reality show, which includes him. We sympathize that you broke up, but of course we were going to ask about it. That’s the clip that you sent us.”

Kat later posted a long entry on Facebook in which she didn’t apologize for walking off the set, but seemed to say that she was overwhelmed and didn’t handle everything well. She wrote “this isn’t an apology for walking out on a silly morning show interview this morning- and this isn’t an attempt at justifying anything either. I don’t expect people to understand, just like I can’t expect myself to be able to please everyone at all times.” It was a lot of feeling sorry for herself. Again, she’s promoting a reality show based on her life and she needs to be able to answer questions or just say she’s not comfortable with them. Leaving like that only makes her look petty. She should have known what she was getting into with Jesse anyway, but maybe she thought she could “change” him or that he was different. Now she’s so disappointed and can’t stand it that people are focusing on her breakup.

This is part of the reason I don’t tweet much. I’ve gotten into trouble in the past bitching about people who have done me wrong. (And we’re talking once, but that was back when you could still search on deleted tweets so the person found it anyway.) Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter took to Twitter to complain that his show was snubbed by the Emmy nominating committee. He called them old and joked that they screwed him out of a threesome with his wife, the show’s star Katey Sagal, who had “promised me a threesome if we won.” Then he went on to mock Glee and sort-of try to take it back. Classy.

After the Emmy noms were announced this morning, Kurt Sutter went to Twitter and fired off the following:

“The worse part of not getting an emmy nod. katey [his wife] promised me a threesome if she won. now i have to settle for me, her and the shaved bunny.”

“Best part of not getting an emmy nod. now i don’t have to pretend i give a s**t about the profiteering douchebag academy … because you know if we were nominated i’d be all humble and blowing smoke up their asses. now i can stay true to myself and just be a d**k.”

He continues with a joke — “These two academy member walk into a bar. one orders a beer. then they both die because they’re so f**king old.”

And … “If my mom and dad were alive this emmy snub would kill them. that’s not true, they were too old to understand my show. just like the academy.”

Sutter also took aim at “Glee” … writing, “f**k glee. hate those annoying, ‘please accept me for who i am’, singing brats. there, i said it. are you happy?”

He went on to explain, “I love ryan murphy ['Glee' creator]. he’s always very cool with me. love glee too. just tired of all the j**z piling up at its feet.”

[From TMZ]

Later he tweeted “you do know that i’m really okay with no noms right? if i was really upset, i wouldn’t be ranting. i’d be plotting. i’m all about the love” and followed up with “those who got the joke, laughed. those who didn’t, published a story. so sad that greedy media whores must turn good fun into nasty business.” It’s all our fault for paying attention to what he wrote, an argument so many celebrities have used before ad nauseum. Way to write about the same people who help promote your show.

I tried to get into Sons of Anarchy. I didn’t start from the beginning though, I started from season three, watched about four episodes and just found it too hard to keep up with. It was complicated and hard to follow. Compare that to Boardwalk Empire, which I also didn’t start watching until mid-season. There’s a lot of mobster stuff going on with that show and I’ll be honest some minor plot details were lost to me, but I could still watch it and find it entertaining. Sons of Anarchy frustrated me, but I did enjoy what I saw, just not enough to care what happened next or keep watching. Maybe it’s just not everyone’s cup of tea, it doesn’t have to do with people being too “old” to enjoy it. You wouldn’t expect a whiny bitch like Sutter to get that though. He has much more in common with Ryan Murphy than he thinks.

Yesterday we heard that Ryan Dunn of Jackass passed away after he suffered a fatal accident in the Porsche 911 he was driving, killing himself and a 30 year-old Jackass production assistant Zachary Hartwell. He had tweeted a photo of himself drinking that night before the accident and he looked blitzed out of his mind. A source from the bar told TMZ that Ryan had had three beers and three shots in the four hours he was there before leaving at 2:10 am, closing time. That doesn’t sound excessive for a man of his size but we have no way of verifying that. As of yet the cause of the accident is unknown, although police say “speed” was a factor, and given the state of the wreckage we may never know. It’s entirely possible that he swerved to avoid something or that his tire blew out, but circumstantial evidence suggests he was drunk.

Movie critic Roger Ebert recently tweeted something that a lot of people have been saying about this guy’s death, that “friends don’t let Jackasses drive drunk.” It’s harsh, but many people have that sentiment about this accident. (TMZ live recently covered a lot of those comments. One person wrote that she was surprised that this is the first time one of the Jackass guys has died. They do incredibly dangerous stunts for a living, after all.) In response, Dunn’s friend Bam Margera went off on Ebert, which is understandable.

Is there ever a time to say to someone who is hurt, or to say about someone who died, that they should not have been drinking and driving? Yes, definitely. I don’t want to get too personal, but a friend of recently mine got in an accident while he was drinking and I called him on it. He was injured so I waited a little to bring it up. I was so angry that he made that stupid decision and I had to say something to him about it. I did it because I love him, but some may think I was being insensitive and he bitched that I was the only one who told him I was angry that he was drinking when it happened. Still, I get why Dunn’s friends are upset at Ebert’s comments. There’s a way to be tactful in situations like this where someone has died. Ebert was dismissive and seemed to suggest that someone could have prevented that guy’s death. Surely that’s what his friends are beating themselves up over right now.

Update: Ebert has issued a response to this controversy on his blog, explaining his position. It’s very well written and backed up by examples in the press that support what he was trying to say, simply that the kid should not have driven drunk. Ebert’s Facebook page has been removed by Facebook for a terms of service violation after it was flagged. That’s ridiculous and seems completely arbitrary and unfair.

I always forget that Russell Crowe is on Twitter. I should really start following him, but this morning, Big Russ is cracking me up. Russell caused something of Twitter scandal by using his Twitter to stand up to Big Circumcision (it’s a lobby, right?). Personally, I don’t have a dog on this particular hunt – I can see both sides, both pro and anti-circumcision, and I don’t have one particular preference in my personal experiences with dong. Russell, however, has very strong feelings. Maybe I’m just feeling warm towards Russ because he also took time out to support a woman’s right to choose, or maybe I just like that he interspersed his anti-circumcision tweets with shout-outs for the Newfoundland Folk Festival. It’s all really funny to me.

So… here are some of Russell’s tweets, in descending chronological order. First, Russell retweeted this question: “@russellcrowe Speaking of, my son is due soon. Do you think I should get him circumstanced?” Here is what followed:

one last hint, Newfoundland folk festival

Circumcision is barbaric and stupid. Who are you to correct nature? Is it real that GOD requires a donation of foreskin? Babies are perfect

RT: @russellcrowe Interesting that female circumcision is widely considered barbaric, while male circumcision is so widely accepted.

RT: @russellcrowe: Word! It is time for men to stand up for mens’ and boys’ rights. Circumcision is barbaric and akin to genital mutilation.

many jewish friends, I love my Jewish friends, I love the apples and the honey and the funny little hats but stop cutting yr babies @eliroth

@RealChopperRead @chrismurphys @eliroth Well mate, you cut off your own ears and did yourself out of a Rayban endorsement

@catryan46 same as tattoo’s/ plastic surgery;he is an adult and he “wants” it, then off u go,mothers were right 2 keep their babies intact

I will always stand for the perfection of babies, i will always believe in God, not man’s interpretation of what God requires

Abortion should always be a woman’s choice, there is no benefit to “forced” motherhood…you got it? don’t like it then bye

anyway, Newfoundland folk festival, think about it

RT from Eli Roth: @russellcrowe You didn’t seem to be complaining when I was recutting you this afternoon…

wasn’t intending offense, certainly wasn’t intending to provide fodder for lazy journalists. I can’t appologize for my heartfelt belief

[From Russell Crowe’s Twitter]

HE CALLED OUT ELI ROTH. Like Eli Roth is responsible, as a Jewish director and Twitter-follower, for circumcision. I don’t know… I find this funny. He’s entitled to his opinions, and it’s all good. It’s just a little humor in the morning. I need to start following Crowe’s Twitter.

UPDATE: Big Russ has apologized. He says: “I have a deep and abiding love for all people of all nationalities. I’m very sorry that I have said things on here that have caused distress. My personal beliefs aside I realize that some will interpret this debate as me mocking the rituals and traditions of others. I am very sorry.” BUT WHAT ABOUT THE NEWFOUNDLAND FOLK FESTIVAL?!!?!?

Anthony Weiner and his wife of less than one year, Huma Abedin, on 3/26/11

Remember the scandal over the married NY Republican congressman who was trolling for strange on Craigslist? That guy resigned after a shirtless self portrait photo surfaced. Well a married NY Democratic congressman, the ironically named Anthony Weiner, publicly tweeted a photo over the weekend of his erect crotch (in underwear, thankfully, you can see the photo here) to a 21 year-old college student and then immediately tried to claim his “Facebook” was hacked, even though the photo was posted on the photo sharing site YFrog, which is connected to his Twitter account. Also, somehow he gained immediate control of his Twitter account from the “hackers,” who had hacked his “Facebook” and were mysteriously controlling his Twitter account through it. There’s all sorts of evidence that the guy is trying to cover for being 1. a skeeve and 2. an idiot with technology.

Some outlets are trying to make this into a political issue, but it seems like a men thinking with their little heads issue, which is an equal opportunity offender/equalizer. What’s more is that there’s plenty of evidence that Weiner has direct messaged with other women, including porn stars.

Liberal Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner tried Tuesday to deflect attention away from a controversy involving a lewd photo briefly posted on his Twitter account, saying the matter was undeserving of further attention.
Meanwhile, the conservative blogger who broke the story called for a full investigation of what he said was either the hacking of a congressman’s account or something Weiner wants to hide.

Weiner told reporters he wasn’t interested in talking about the issue any more, saying he already made statements over the Memorial Day weekend after news of the photo of the lower body of a man wearing underwear turned up on his Twitter account Friday night.

In a heated exchange with reporters, he repeatedly dodged direct questions about the photo.

“If I were giving a speech to 45,000 people, and someone in the back threw a pie or yelled out an insult, I would not spend the next two hours of my speech responding to that pie or that insult. I would return to the things that I want to talk about,” Weiner said in response to a question about whether he sent the lewd photo to a Seattle woman.
He also refused to say why he hasn’t asked law enforcement to investigate if in fact his account was hacked, as he has said it was.

In earlier comments, when asked if the photo was of him, Weiner deflected the question.

“I’m not going to talk about this anymore,” he said, adding: “I’m going to get back to the conversation I care about,” including economic issues and what he calls a conflict-of-interest situation involving conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on the health care reform law. The New York Democrat is a leading liberal voice in Congress.
Asked several questions about the Twitter situation, Weiner stuck to his message.

“I understand you’re doing your job, but I’m going to go back to work now,” Weiner said at one point. When asked if he was concerned about being hacked, he responded: “I’m going to return to working on the things I care about. I participated in the story a couple of days now, given comments on it. This is a distraction and I’m not going to let it distract me.”

When a reporter noted the distraction might go away if he answered the questions, Weiner answered: “I’m not convinced of that.

“I’m not convinced there’s any value of me talking about it,” Weiner said.

Asked again if he was the man in the photo, Weiner responded again that he had made previous statements and now it was time for him to get back to work.

Previously, Weiner blamed the photo on a hacker who got control of his social-networking accounts and played a prank. Weiner’s spokesman, Dave Arnold, said Monday the congressman has retained an attorney to look into the situation.
“We’ve retained counsel to explore the proper next steps and to advise us on what civil or criminal actions should be taken,” Arnold said in a statement. “This was a prank. We are loath to treat it as more, but we are relying on professional advice.”

No formal criminal investigation has been launched, which rankles Andrew Breitbart, whose conservative website biggovernment.com first reported the photo on Weiner’s Twitter account in connection with a tweet to a Seattle woman.

[From CNN]

Yeah, he did it and he can only respond by changing the subject. It’s a bad excuse and he’s handling it poorly. Below is a video of him making those statements and I’m pretty convinced he’s guilty now that I’ve watched it. He comes across as arrogant and evasive.

Why do men think that women find photos of their d*ck hot, though? I’ve had men send me stuff like this when I was single and all it made me do was point, laugh and hit “delete.” I should have kept some of that, though, because who knows where those idiots are now.

Here’s Weiner talking about the “prank” on his Twitter account and deflecting all questions. He never directly says “no” he didn’t send that tweet, he never says “no” that photo wasn’t of him, and he doesn’t answer questions as to why he never had this “hacking” investigated.

Remember when Lily Allen promised that she was going to take a break from music, and remember when she quit twitter? Those were good times.

Well, Allen is back and she’s been back for a while, picking fights with people and getting indignant about stuff, as she’s known to do. Her latest tweets involve raging that she wasn’t invited to the royal wedding and that her rival, Joss Stone, was. Then she tried to take it back and claim that she was making a joke. Besides, she has something to do that night anyway, so nya.

@gracedent well, you can quote me as ‘outraged’, why does bloody Joss Stone get an invite and not moi? I sang at the Diana concert too!

@lilyroseallen no disrespect however I have a feeling joss stone will behave better on the juice than u, sorry

@JustKallMeTall yeah, but she’s a stoner though so she’ll probably pull a whitey after her 2′nd glass of champers and vom everwhere.
25 Apr

@gracedent it was pretty obvious that I was being sarcastic about not being invited to the royal wedding, right ?
26 Apr

Oh my god, if I get one more tweet about not being invited to the royal wedding. IT WAS A JOKE you humourless fools, now run along.
26 Apr

Besides I wouldn’t be able to go anyway, I have a previous engagement.

Lily is also in some kind of twitter feud with a guy from News of the World who is calling her out over the fact that she said she wanted time off. You can check out the details on her Twitter account, with the relevant tweets linked here. It’s not worth recapping.

Just reading through Lily’s Twitter account, it’s clear why she wasn’t invited to the royal wedding. This girl has been drunk in public multiple times, she’s talked smack about many different celebrities, and she’s wondering why she wasn’t invited to the most important event of the year in her country. She may have changed with her recent engagement and terribly sad miscarriage, but it’s obvious from her Twitter musings that she hasn’t changed that much.

Just yesterday I was praising Miley Cyrus for quitting Twitter over a year ago and for taking responsibility for the fact that she was using it poorly and wanted to step away. She wasn’t sanctimonious about her reasons for no longer informing the world about the minute details of her moods and daily life, and said “I was that person who was like, ‘I’m so sad. I have no real, normal life, everyone knows what I’m doing.’ And I’m like, well that’s my own fault because I’m telling everyone.” Well that will teach me to hold Miley up as a good example of anything. She was back on Twitter on Sunday, even before I wrote that, and one of her first tweets was to drug addict psychopath Charlie Sheen. Her people confirmed that it really was Miley and everything and not someone just promoting her upcoming tour.

During her first day back on Twitter after a 17-month absence, Miley Cyrus lavished love on another talked-about, controversial microblogger: Charlie Sheen.

Late Sunday, the 18-year-old Disney starlet wrote via her new Twitter account gypsyhearttour: “‘Do not fear…the Sheenius is here!’ I’m not gonna lie. I came back to twitter for 2 reasons. My fans and to follow Charlie Sheen.” (A rep for Cyrus confirmed that it was her legitimate account on Monday.)

Amidst his sold out, apparently improving live tour, Sheen, 45, took notice late Monday, and replied, “Dear Miley, Welcome back to Twitter! Always felt you were epic! Now you proved it! Thanks for the love.”

“I always felt the same about you! You have taught me everything I know about WINNING. Duh!” Cyrus replied.

A bit later in the evening, the “Climb” singer told fans she was “Makin dinner for my fam right now. Honey sesame chicken, garlic rice & salad. There’s only one thing missing & that’s Charlie Sheen!”

[From US Weekly]

As I was saying yesterday, Twitter bugs me because I’m an information junkie and a perfectionist and it’s really hard to keep up with it. There’s no end to it, it’s hard to tell what people are referring to and it’s difficult to categorize and sort all that information, much of which is useless. That said, Miley has been tweeting up a storm since she got back on. She’s brought back the duckface personal portraits and she’s telling us how lazy she is and what music she’s listening to. She’s also revealing how clueless she is by citing Sheen as her motivation for sharing details she previously realized were only hurting her public image.

I finally watched that “Charlie Sheen: On The Brink” special on TLC and wanted to scream at the television “he’s just a raving drug addict, why doesn’t anyone state the obvious?” We wouldn’t have anything to talk about if that was the case, and we wouldn’t be able to analyze him ad nauseum. For some people winning means having everyone talk about you. Twitter is useful for that.
