Twitter

Country singer Mindy McCready, 37, shocked the music industry when she died of an apparent suicide on Feb. 17. As a result, her peers virtually flocked to Twitter to mourn and send their condolences to her loved ones -- including her 'Celebrity Rehab' roommate, actress/singer Mackenzie Phillips.

One of the hardest working women in show business, Lady Gaga, has had to postpone four concerts due to an injury which has left her unable to walk. We see some bedazzled, blood-spattered crutches in her future.

Seven-time Grammy award winner Patrick Carney , the drummer for the Black Keys, pissed off Justin Bieber and his squadron of teen fans when he said the Biebs didn't deserve any Grammys. Because talent. Now Bieber is firing back on Twitter, just as our forefathers once did.

It’s always fun to see celebrities behaving like us regular folks and award nights like the 2013 Grammys seem to be a great time for that. Sure, some of them are dressed in clothes we’ll never even get near and they rub elbows with people who seem to live on a different planet from us, but then there are the ones who act as excited as we would to be around other celebrities. Or, they sit at home

In an attempt to subvert the Grammys for not nominating him for anything, Justin Bieber tried to use the service UStream to live stream performances and a Q&A for his fans last night (Feb. 10) at the exact same time the Grammys were set to air. But it seems like karma hit him and his crazed manager Scooter Braun with that one -- because the entire thing was a technology bust.

Tina Fey recently told us to shut up and get off Twitter, but that’s never gonna happen now -- because Mr. T is in da hizzouse. And we pity the fool who isn't following him.

It's our favorite time! Specifically, "Amanda Bynes is a crazy person who doesn't understand how the internet works" time. Yesterday (Feb. 6), the retired millionaire posted a very strange tweet with merely the words “Ugly face” and a photo of Jay-Z, which was sent directly to the rapper via his own Twitter account since he was tagged in the message.

Earlier this weekend, pop culture buffs and the AARP set were all abuzz when word circulated that Shirley Temple, one of America's most famous former child stars, had signed up for a Twitter account. But 10,000 followers -- and a couple tweets to Dick Van Dyke -- later, it turns out that it was all a hoax.

'Modern Family' actress Julie Bowen lost a bet to Jimmy Kimmel -- and in return lost access to her Twitter account for an entire 24-hour period of hilarity to the late night comedian.

One Direction member Harry Styles and 'Harry Potter' alum Emma Watson. It's match made in PR heaven -- or a match made in Taylor Swift hell, depending on who you're talking to.

Just like us, when celebrities watch or are a part of something historical, they want to tweet about it. Which beats yet another missive about concert dates or a regretful shot of a naked body part. Anyway, Monday's Presidential Inauguration was nothing shy of a major event for our country -- Barack Obama, our nation’s first African-American president, was sworn in on Martin Luther King Jr. Day us

It didn't take long after Lance Armstrong told Oprah those words everyone had been waiting years to hear -- yes, he doped during his illustrious cycling career -- before Twitter lit up with reactions. When we weren't taking shots or playing bingo, we complied some of the better tweets we saw.

The majority of women with eyes who watch movies find Ryan Gosling at least somewhat attractive. He’s not for everyone, but clearly this is a man who can join the George Clooney club of empirical handsome. And judging by the naughty tweet of one actress, his universal appeal extends into Hollywood, too.

This year, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association honored Jodie Foster with their Cecille B. DeMille award for her lifetime of achievement on the big and small screens. And during her acceptance speech, she set the interwebz ablaze when she took the opportunity to speak publicly - in a slightly dodgy way - about her oft-suspected sexual orientation.

"Celebrities Read Mean Tweets" is one of our favorite skits on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live,' and in honor of the six-year anniversary of Twitter coming up (time sure flies when you're talking about what you ate for lunch), the late night show released the third installment of the very funny gag.

Continuing to stoke the fires of a feud that doesn't really exist (but soon could) between her and Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus posted some pictures of herself in bed cuddling with a cardboard likeness of newly-single singer Harry Styles -- and then got all pissy when people thought she actually had a thing for him or something. Because as she's so eloquently said before, she's not the slutty one her

Twitter has created some strange connections, most recently between self-esteem challenged R&B singer Rihanna and mom-rock balladeer Michael Bolton -- during which the unlikely pair tweeted their mutual admiration for each other. Although we might have fallen into an alternate dimension.

Twitter has been giving celebrities a platform to air their opinions and what they ate for breakfast since 2006, and boy have they. It's also given them a place to interact with other celebs and share their grievances with one another. This of course has inevitably led to a new form of communication: The Twitter slapfight, in which stars duel over the internet in 140 characters or less (often to t

'Les Miserables' might be doing well with moviegoers at the box office, but it didn't sit right with 'American Idol' season eight runner-up Adam Lambert, who took to Twitter to complain about the cast. Loudly.

After NRA vice-president Wayne LaPierre stood up in front of a bunch of news cameras on Friday and spewed the crap for which the organization is so well known, the Twittersphere lit up with 140-character opinions -- many of them funny -- about the whole thing. Because sometimes if you don't laugh, you'll just break down in hysterical sobs of disbelief. And no one wants puffy eyes for holiday parti
