Celebrities Muse About The LA Earthquake In Today's Tweet Dreams

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

L.a. was all shook up this morning when a 4.4-magnitude earthquake struck at, aptly enough, 4:04 a.m. While some celebs like “New Moon” star Daniel Cudmore slept through the rumbling, many weren’t so lucky. “Glee” star Lea Michele tweeted, “So the earthquake knocked me out of bed last night. I’m from new York people! I’m not used to this stuff!” Meanwhile, the quake helped “Extra” host Mario Lopez realize he needed to add something to his shopping list. “Wow, that earthquake freaked me out this morning,” he wrote. “Happened at 4am and couldnt go back to sleep…reminded me I need to get a flashlight.”

Another trend that rocked the Twitterverse today was #whenifirstmet, which got celebs divulging how they met their famous acquaintances. “#whenifirstmet @RealTalibKweli I was 14, wearing a blazer and a tie… as was he. He had dread locks back then… I didn’t,” wrote Dawson Leery, um, I mean James Van Der Beek. Questlove from the Roots didn’t make such a great impression on one E! reality star. “#whenifirsttmet @KhloeKardashian she was waiting to go into a bathroom i just took a MASSIVE dump in. (i ran away of course).”

Why does everyone hate on Sarah Jessica Parker?

I mean, yes, she’s getting older, but she was beautiful when she was young.

And even in Sex and the City she looked pretty good.

So why does everyone call her ugly?

Verified Twitter Lists Make Fan-life Easier

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

If you frequent Twitter to keep track of your favorite famous people, you know that the real celebs are those who have a Verified Account badge in their profile. this appears in only one place (top right corner above the Name of the user) and will click-through to this page. this is a beta feature from Twitter to prevent identity theft and confusion. Indian film-stars like Priyanka Chopra and Genelia D’Souza have verified Twitter accounts. But in the variety of Twitter users and usernames, it is hard to find verified accounts of your favorite kind of celebrity.

However, in a bid to make fans’ lives easier, the folks at Twitter have made an account that follows and lists all the Twitter Verified Accounts in one place. this account, aptly named “verified” is itself a Verified Account and has quite a few lists of Verified Accounts. From Olympians to Soccer to Technology to Entertainment, there is a list for mostly everything that would make a person famous. Wonderfully useful, following any of these lists allows you to see the updates in real time.

Many Indian celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan and Abhishek Bacchan do not have a Verified Account because this feature is still in Beta. However, that will change in the near future. Nevertheless, the list for cricket caught my eye (mostly because it was following a single person). It seems that IPL Chairman Lalit K Modi is on Twitter, and is pretty active!

Of course, if you have forgotten what Twitter lists are, or how to create one, Techie Buzz is at your service!
