Some of the talk on Twitter is just cringe worthy when it comes to ‘celebs’. They dont take any notice of it. It probably means more to them when people meet them in person. Their just try to get their point across and promote themselves. Theirs nothing a random person can tell them that their manager cant.

I just joined twitter, simply to cyberstalk celebrities and possibly interact with them. Why not? It’s innocent starf*cking. Your post does nothing to dissuade me. In fact, the yousuck dude hit the nail on the head. It’s like a virtual autograph. You know that somewhere, that celebrity was sitting at his/her computer or iphone, read your tweet, and took the time to think about it and offer a reply. Seems pretty damn cool to me.

Why not use Twitter for whatever you want to use Twitter for. People who make rules for other people are stupid. People who obey those rules are worse.

@You_Suck_Dude There is no difference between going up to a celebrity and getting an autograph and tweeting them for a reply. In both instances, you’re just one of many who have tweeted or gotten their autograph.

There’s nothing wrong with being happy and mentioning to your friends that you got Shaq’s autograph or you tweeted Alyssa Milano and she replied.

The point is, when you say, “I was talking to Alyssa Milano today and she was telling me all about this charity she’s working with…” you’re insinuating that you had a conversation directly with them, one on one, in a closed setting such as face-to-face or on the phone.

Twitter, autographs – not the same thing.

And yes, I am a douche bag sometimes. I admit it. It’s fun.

Alyssa Milano is definitely one of the more humble and engaging users in the Twitterverse. I have been personally acknowledged by her more than once, both in tweets and DMs. Just the fact that she takes time and effort to do that with her fans and followers speaks volumes about the kind of person she is. Also, she just radiates positivity in how she handles herself and is always gracious and diplomatic, never self-important or haughty. Both socially and Biblically (1Cor 13), that’s pretty much what love is all about.

Ms. Milano has big love. Kudos to her.

For those who do not know, Alyssa Milano IS one of the nicest persons, celebrity or not, to grace the pages of Twitter. I am proud to have been one of those people that she tweeted back when I initiated a conversation with her.

Of course, I didn’t go tell my friends about it. I didn’t brag about it or feel some misguided self-importance as a result. It did make me feel good, and for that, I think Alyssa is awesome.

Shaq is pretty cool too.
