Dave Chappelle has kept a fairly low-profile since he abruptly quit the oft-quoted 'Chappelle's Show' in 2005. But the funnyman may have just resurfaced on Twitter, perhaps the most high profile medium on the internet for professional and would-be comedians.
Jimmy Kimmel knows all too well that if you send celebrities messages on Twitter, they might actually read them. So, as part of the celebration 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' had for the microblogging service's sixth anniversary, the late-night TV host had Joel McHale, Anna Faris, Kristen Bell and other stars read what Kimmel finds is the best part about Twitter -- angry celeb tweets.
It's pretty safe to say that Kim Kardashian's biggest achievement in life so far is surpassing 14 million followers on Twitter. And Barbara Walters said she had no talent. This is a feat Barack Obama, who has a little less than 13 million, couldn't even he do, and he's president of the United States.
So in case you haven't figured out from the flood of Twitter comments, 'The Hunger Games' premiered last night. Tons of media personalities and celebs, like Darren Criss, Kelly Osbourne and Miranda Lambert, came out to the red carpet to get the first look at Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutercherson and the rest of the cast's hard work. But the question on everyone's minds is, "Was the movie any good?"
You may not be able to search for your own Tweets on Twitter after a week, but a marketing research company in the UK can now search all the Tweets Tweeted since January of 2010. This is possible because Twitter just sold Datasift the right to sort through them.
Because she is really famous, Gwyneth Paltrow is able to do things like pose for pictures with comedy legends Steve Martin and Martin Short at the Academy Awards.
But don't think Paltrow doesn't appreciate this privileged perch. The 39-year-old actress tweeted the photo above from the 2012 Oscars for all of her Twitter followers to see with the message, "I love my life."
You know you're getting older when it seems like nobody on Twitter knows who Billy Crystal is. Yeah, you read that right. Loads of people (and by people we mean out-of-touch teens) took to the Twittersphere after seeing the opening of the 2012 Oscars with utter confusion as to who the iconic actor is.
During this year's Grammys, you may or (apparently) may not have recognized former Beatle and rock-and-roll legend, Sir Paul McCartney. After his amazing two-part performance, the TwitterVerse lit up with a trending topic wondering 'Who is Paul McCartney?.' This left the rest of us to wonder if there is any hope left for mankind.
Whitney Houston, the legendary singer whose talent carried her to superstardom and whose tumultuous personal life ultimately put her under the pop culture microscope, died today at the age of 48.
The night before the Grammys, TV and movie stars expressed their grief over Houston's death, and acknowledged her influence on a generation of performers.
There are people who love Facebook and people who love Twitter -- and now scientists think they've discovered why those preferences exist, and what they say about the people who hold them.
