Pink Dyes Her Hair, Well, Pink To Celebrate Return To The Studio

Posted 3/5/12 4:13 pm EST by in Pink, Twitter

Pink

One of our favorite popsters, Pink, hit Twitter to reveal that she is set to return to the studio to begin work on her sixth studio album … and to celebrate she added a dash of her signature color to her short blonde locks and tweeted a pic to get her fans super excited.

The record will be the Grammy winners first full-length studio album since 2008's Funhouse. She released a best-of package in late 2010, Greatest Hits … So Far!, which brought her the #1 hit "Raise Your Glass" and a #2 with "F**kin' Perfect."

The set will be her first released on RCA Records after Sony Music Entertainment consolidated several of its labels, including her previous home, Arista, along with Jive and J Records, into RCA.

Are you as excited for a new Pink record as we are? Let us know in the comments below.

Posted 1/27/12 3:03 pm EST by in Demi Lovato, Rihanna, Tweet Beat, Twitter

With millions of inane tweets being pumped out every day, it can be hard to keep track of actual celebrity gossip, feuds and random observations that make Twitter so much fun. So we’re rounding up the week in Twitter drama – or Twama for those of you not yet sick of cutesy word combos!

Rihanna Is The Girl With The Thug Life Tattoo
Can we all agree that Rihanna is the pop star we’d most like to party with? RiRi is clearly a work hard/play hard type of chick and she smokes ‘em if she gots ‘em. So it wasn’t that shocking when the pop princess tweeted pics of herself with fresh “Thug Life” tattoos on her knuckles this week. What was shocking was people thinking they could tweet their opinions about the tats to her and that she might actually agree/care/not rip you a new one. Remember, Rihanna is the honeybadger of the pop world, she doesn’t give a f*$%!

She calmly swatted away shade on Twitter and went on with her day. Plus it’s not like it’s her first trip to the parlor! I’m just hoping the other photo she tweeted of herself getting some “posterior” ink wasn’t her making the “We Found Love” video (more of) a reality.

Possible Tweets From Michelle Obama's New Twitter Account

Posted 1/12/12 3:30 pm EST by in Activism, Tweet Beat, Twitter

By Uptin Saiidi

Michelle Obama might be turning 48 next week, but her Twitter presence is brand new. The First Lady joined Twitter today, and now that she'll be tweeting we thought it'd be fun to predict some hypothetical tweets we could possibly look forward to.

Before you get too excited though, you should know the account was launched by President Obama’s campaign for re-election, so many of the tweets won’t even be from her. You'll know when she tweets herself because they'll be signed with the letters “MO.”

It’s a bit disappointing that we won't get more of a personal account since Twitter cuts out the middle man, but who knows, maybe she’ll get into it soon. Remember when it was revealed she takes secret trips to Target or that she's not a fan of her daughters watching reality television ... there's no telling what could be a tweet.

Read on to see a few we thought up and add your own in the comments below! Read More...

Khloe Kardashian Is Over All these Rumors That She's Not a Real Kardashian

Posted 1/12/12 11:58 am EST by in Television, Tweet Beat, Twitter

Khloe K

Khloe Kardashian, aka The Okay One, has had enough of the rumors that she is not a biological Kardashian.

There's a long-standing rumor that Khloe is not the biological daughter of the late Robert Kardashian, father to Kim and Kourtney and one-time attorney to OJ Simpson. The rumor got a little more traction after Kris Jenner admitted in her book that she had an affair during her marriage to Robert, and now two of his ex-wives, Jan Ashley and Ellen Kardashian, have spoken to Star magazine about the matter, admitting that Robert may have questioned Khloe's paternity.

"Khloe is not his kid – he told me that after we got married," Ashley tells the mag (via USA Today). For her part, Ellen K. says that Khloe was often the one to bring up the topic. "Khloe brought it up all the time," Ellen says. "She looked nothing like the rest. She was tall, had a different shape, light hair, curly hair. Didn't look anything like the other three children."

This morning on "Good Morning America," Kris Jenner opened up about the controversy, saying, "I've never heard such crap in my life. I gave birth. I know who the dad was." But ultimately, it may be Khloe who has the final say, as she took to Twitter yesterday to admonish her stepmothers for speaking to the tabloid. Read on to see what she had to say! Read More...

Michelle Williams Does Not Need To Congratulate Beyonce On Twitter (She'll Do It In Person, Thanks)!

Posted 1/9/12 4:38 pm EST by in Beyonce, Tweet Beat, Twitter

Everybody is always running to Twitter to share their every thought and feeling. The same is true of celebrities, who share even the most banal details on the social-networking site. Recently, Twitter saw an influx of congratulations for a very famous singer and her hip-hop mogul husband on the birth of their new baby, but notably absent from the choir of congrats was Michelle Williams, former Destiny's Child and current gospel singer and Broadway star.

You see, Miz Williams didn't think it appropriate to hit the tweet button to congratulate Beyonce on the birth of little Blue Ivy. She apparently got a little ribbing from fans for not issuing a statement the way many of Bey and Jay's other friends, from Rihanna to Gwyneth Paltrow, did and finally took to Twitter to let us all know why.

"Let's get ONE thing straight....I do NOT have to say congrats to someone when they're NOT on twitter...ESPECIALLY when I talk or email them all the time....or when I'll be physically present as well," she replied to one irate fan.

"My friendship with people aren't always for twitter display," Williams continued. "Respect that and get a LIFE!!! Enjoy this FINE day!!! God bless!!!!"

But that's not all! Read More...

With millions of inane tweets being pumped out every day, it can be hard to keep track of actual celebrity gossip, feuds and random observations that make Twitter so much fun. So we’re rounding up the week in Twitter drama – or Twama for those of you not yet sick of cutesy word combos!

Nick Cannon Hospitalized

Nick Cannon’s wife Mariah Carey took to Twitter to announce his hospitalization due to kidney failure. "Please pray for Nick as he's fighting to recover from a mild kidney failure. #mybraveman," Carey tweeted. The mother of “Dem Babies” also surprisingly included a photo of herself curled up with Cannon in his hospital bed (above). This was shocking only because Mariah is infrequently photographed sans perfect hair and makeup, but I guess when your man is sick vanity takes a back seat. Wonder how psyched Nick was to have his picture taken during mild kidney failure and tweeted to millions? Stay tuned to Mariah’s account for updates on Nick’s prognosis.

'Teen Mom' Farrah Vs. Kourtney Kardashian Kick Off This Week's Twitter Feuds

Posted 12/5/11 11:48 am EST by in Television, Tweet Beat, Twitter

It’s a new week and that means that already there’s some Twitter drama brewing up. It seems that "Teen Mom" star Farrah Abraham and the eldest Kardashian sister, Kourtney, are getting all up in each other’s business on the social networking site.

It all kicked off shortly after Kourt announced that she’s preggers with her second child with longtime beau Scott Disick. Farrah had this message for the thirtysomething-year-old millionaire: "Im Shocked Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant again, Did she not learn anything from TEEN MOM? Maybe its a fake pregnancy like kims wedding SAD… Double standards in this world? Yes & guess what !age and money honestly do not change a persons poor choice . Quit making excuses:)"

To which Kourtney had this to say: "Why would I have anything to do with teen mom? I'm 32 years old! I may look young honey, but don't get it twisted. :) "

Kourtney hasn’t had much else to say, but the same can't be said of her boy, Scott, or Farrah herself. Read on to see what they had to say. Read More...

Weekly Twitter Drama Roundup

Posted 12/2/11 3:06 pm EST by in Tweet Beat, Twitter

By Kara Klenk

With millions of inane tweets being pumped out every day, it can be hard to keep track of actual celebrity gossip, feuds and random observations that make Twitter so much fun. So we’re rounding up the week in Twitter drama – or Twama for those of you not yet sick of cutesy word combos!

Nicki Minaj vs. Cher

So here’s what went down: A fan told @Cher that @NickiMinaj dissed her in the song "Did It On 'em" (which came out a full year ago, way to be a topical, pot-stirrer) to which Cher casually replied, "I've seen lots of people come & go! No biggie!" (I mean, to be fair to all involved, she has – she's Cher!) This brought the #Barbz out with pink pitchforks in hand explaining the reference as a metaphor (I still don’t get it). Nicki asked her to "#stopit5" (the number of fingers you see when you tell someone to stop it?) and Cher quickly apologized for jumping to conclusions, but when overzealous fans wouldn’t back off, Cher told them to "Gimme a fkn break! Said I was dumb." Then all parties deleted their tweets. (For what it's worth, whether you can ever truly delete a tweet is debatable.)

Katy Perry Denies All

Many celebs bypass the PR machine and use Twitter to personally address rumors or make statements. Some are better than others (ahem, Ashton), but Katy Perry usually nails it. She took to her Twitter account to shoot down pregnancy and divorce rumors in one clever shot.

Tell It, Miley! Cyrus Says People Calling Her Fat Are Essentially Promoting Eating Disorders

Posted 11/15/11 3:56 pm EST by in Miley Cyrus, Twitter

Miley Cyrus sure knows how to get her point across on Twitter.

The teen pop star and actress has apparently been receiving criticism for her weight after having gained a few pounds. (We didn't even notice; she looks great to us.) So rampant were the distasteful comments that Cyrus took to Twitter earlier this week to post a picture of a woman suffering from an extreme eating disorder alongside the message, "By calling girls like me fat, this is what you’re doing to other people."

Soon after, Cyrus' friend Demi Lovato, who herself overcame an eating disorder through the intervention of a treatment facility, voiced her support for Cyrus, saying, "Whoever called you that has it coming." To which the "Party in the USA" singer responded, "I will destroy any one that ever calls you the F word. You have the SEXIIIESTTTT curvyyyy body! I LOVE IT! Werk those curves."

Sadly, we suspect the attacks on Cyrus may have less to do with her gaining a few pounds and more to do with pathetic Internet trolls jealous of one thing. Find out what it is after the jump. Read More...
