Stars Show Off Babies on Twitter
Is Twitter the new celebrity press release system? While I don’t think many Hollywood agents will be heading to the bread line anytime soon, it is becoming apparent that famous people really are just like us. Boring, predictable and, well, full of themselves.
While Tony La Russa remains pissed at Twitter and Ashton could be taking this whole tweeting thing too far, Lance Armstrong of cycling fame, has used Twitter to deliver the first photo of his fourth child Max.
I would like to think that the man who made yellow bracelets cool and took a turn with Sheryl Crow would have more important things to do than upload a pic of the newborn. I mean, who the hell cares?
Wait. Hold that thought. He has over a million followers who might disagree.
But in an even yuckier move, Lance has already set up a Twitter account for his young son to chronicle every out-of-womb experience (@maxarmstrong1). Please note that since verified Twitter accounts are not yet in play, we can’t vouch for the authenticity of young Max’s new account.
This might not be the first time Lance has DOPEd. Somebody give that man a urine test.
Quite frankly, I’m angry at myself for being surprised that famous people don’t have anything better to do then tweet. It should be obvious that what these people do best is talk about themselves.
So will Twitter replace the PR mouthpieces – some of whom earn seven digits – to speak for the rich and famous? Only time will tell. One things for sure…with the amount of money the tabloids are willing to pay – you won’t see any ‘A-level’ stars reveal their babies via Twitter.
