Drunk tweets
Drunken tweeting is a modern high-wire act. Anna Kendrick admits to using Twitter and alcohol to ensure that her tweets are up-to-standard. While many celebrities have opted to wait until the morning to double-check their drunk tweets, some have gotten as far as hiring a PR firm to take control of their accounts and double-check their own posts. Adele was reportedly advised by two editors before she sent her drunken tweets.
Eight themes emerged from the tweets on drinking related topics: the celebrity with an alcohol problem, the celebrity with an alcoholic personality, music about drinking and sex, attraction and the use and abuse of other substances. These tweets revealed that drinking was the most popular topic. This is surprising considering celebrities' love for alcohol. While the study is restricted to tweets about alcohol only, it does shed light on the importance social media plays in our daily lives.
Unintelligent tweets
Below is a list of some of the most absurd and stupid tweets by some of Hollywood's biggest stars. Although this is not a complete list, the ones below were chosen based on several factors. Although Russell Crowe and Sylvester Stallone aren't on the list, some of their tweets contain hilarious moments.
Chris Brown's Twitter beef: Teyana Tayor
They have been rivals for a while, but Rihanna's tweet about Teyana's tomboy ways is the latest twist. The singer seems to have taken offense at Teyana’s comments. She then started a Twitter row with Rihanna. Teyana has remained silent, even though Rihanna’s publicist became involved. Rihanna may have made her feel guilty, but her fans disagree.
Rihanna hasn't responded to Rihanna's most recent tweet, but she's been busy promoting her upcoming fall collection with MAC Cosmetics. Rihanna has already been harshly criticised for her inexplicable tweets. Rihanna is not being criticized for Teyana's insults. She's defending Chris Brown through her own actions.
Ryan Lochte's tweet on his Microsoft Surface
Ryan Lochte's tweets were a completely different story after the 2012 Olympics. The swimmer had embraced the "sex idiot" persona that he had made famous by portraying himself on the TV show 30 Rock. In a tweet about the Microsoft Surface, he stated that he would release a song if his tweet was retweeted a hundred million times. Both fans and critics found this disappointing. The Olympic swimmer was also accused of devaluing his reputation by using a piece of equipment that is not even his.
The IOC director of communications, Mark Adams, denies that Lochte's tweet about his Microsoft Surface caused his teammate's arrest. Lochte's tweet claiming that his Microsoft Surface was stolen is incorrect and should be deleted. Bentz provided a statement through University of Georgia which supports the new version of what occurred. Bentz claims that four men were ordered to sit down on the curb by security guards with guns demanding they pay for the stolen Surfaces. Lochte was not in any harm and cooperates fully with authorities.

How To
How to get a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce founded the Hollywood Walk of Fame, HWOF (Hollywood Walk of Fame) in 1960. The HWOF is located in Los Angeles at 6233 Hollywood Boulevard. It has 2,711 stars embedded in the Hollywood Boulevard sidewalk. Each star represents someone who made motion pictures, television or radio, as well as music and other aspects of popular culture. The HWOF currently has 1,922 listed living people.
To become a member of HWOF you will need to submit your name at the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. This submits your name then to the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs. Once approved, a certificate will be sent to you stating that you are eligible. This includes your name as well as date of birth and the city where you live. You will also receive a bronze plaque engraved with your name. This plaque is affixed to a concrete base in front of the designated star.
You may apply to be a star if you are nominated by a HWOF member or if you make significant contributions to television, radio, TV, theatre, music or other forms of "popular culture". The nominations are evaluated by a committee, which then decides whether or not to approve them. If they do approve them, they send a note to the home address of the applicant stating their decision. If the person accepts, they will be sent a second letter to confirm their acceptance. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce then charges $25 and forwards the money on to the City of Los Angles Department of Cultural Affairs.
The department issues a cheque payable to the Hollywood Chamber of commerce. It then sends the check the Hollywood Walk of Fame Foundation. The foundation pays any artist or organization that submitted an application. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce then pays half of the fee ($12.50). The City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs takes the other half.
Once the artist has received his/her star, he/she becomes eligible to be included in the HWOF. To be included in the HWOF, your balance must be paid to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. The amount due depends on how many years ago you were first nominated. For example, $15,000. Suppose you were first nominated as a nominee in 1990. You would be responsible for $10,000 if you had been nominated previously in 1980.
You can remove yourself from HWOF by contacting the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to pay the rest of your debt. They will remove the name of your from the list.
How old is one to be eligible for a HWOF Star?
One needs to be at least 18 years old when being nominated. To be eligible for a star, you must still be alive. A star can be renominated after 10 years.
What happens if I die before my star gets put up?
Family members may nominate you to be a star. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce can place a memorial marker next to the star, if there aren't any living relatives.
Why not use a new street, instead of staring at everyone?
The HWOF is not meant to be a historical monument. It is meant to honor those who contributed to film history.
What happened with the stars that were stolen? The thieves took around 1,200 stars. Each star weighs between 250 and 300 lbs. This makes it approximately 4 tons!
