One of the more interesting phenomena of recent years is the fact that celebrities are using the Internet to communicate directly with fans and the public at large. The PR industry must be reeling at some of the bizarre YouTube videos and Twitter "tweets" that celebrities have posted without their foreknowledge. Or maybe they were part of some bizarre PR strategy in the end? Regardless of why they happened, some celebrity Internet moments make for highly entertaining diversions you can enjoy with wireless Internet service.
Rapper Kanye West, whose artistic output is highly creative to some and just bizarre to others, posts about a wide range of subjects. His Twitter "tweets" have been set to music by singer and songwriter Josh Groban, and not without good reason. Kanye's output in this medium covers everything from controversial social issues such as abortion to personal feuds he seems to start with other celebrities for no apparent reason. A frequent topic of Kanye's tweets is his lavish personal lifestyle, which to the casual observer can reach a kind of Warhol-esque absurdity. "I might walk in Nobu with no shoes," he tweeted recently, referring to the top-notch celebrity restaurant in New York. "Hard to be humble when you stunting on a jumbotron," he added later. The life of a celebrity unfiltered by public relations experts is truly a new phenomenon in our celebrity obsessed culture, and something you can follow from the minute each new oddity happens with 4G service.
Celebrities who are arguably past their prime make for some of the most interesting Twitter fodder. MC Hammer, another rapper who in the 1980s had a monster hit, "U Can't Touch This," is one of those people who makes you wonder at all why they have a Twitter feed. In one recent tweet, he quotes academic Cornel West as saying "What made artists great in my day compared to the ones of today is that they were originals." MC Hammer's biggest hit, of course, was based entirely on a sample of Rick James's "Superfreak." It's as if Twitter has confirmed our worst suspicions about celebrities' total lack of self-awareness, and in 4G, no less.
Lastly, Twitter also brings out the worst in celebrities who don't necessarily have the best public image to begin with. This was demonstrated when at one point MTV presenter and reality show star "Tila Tequila," whose fame does not really seem to be due to anything in particular, promised to commit suicide over Twitter if enough fans asked for it. These are just many of the celebrity train wrecks that one day might have been hushed up by publicists. In a way, they can make celebrities seem a little more human, a little more like us all, but they can also bring to light the way in which constant attention and hounding by paparazzi can make anyone behave in a manner a little out of the ordinary.
