Famous Teen Twitterati
Here's a list of teen celebrities who have it big on the social networking site Twitter.
Miley Cyrus
Followers: Nearly 4 million
The Hannah Montana star is as Twitter savvy as a star can get. She regularly tweets to reach out to her fans. Whether it is telling her fans about her life — “Having curly fries with demi! Why r curly ones better than straight ones??? Question of the day”- or responding to tabloid gossip to clear the air — I did not get a new puppy!!! It was a friend’s”, Miley’s candid tweets keep coming. Recently, the teen queen scolded fans on Twitter who had been sending rude messages to her friend, singer Kelly Osbourne, on Twitter for defending Miley’s against claims that she is a pothead.
Cyrus wrote, “Please stop bombarding my friends (sic) Twitter pages with rude comments. NOTHING gives you the right to threaten people. I love u @MissKellyO :)”
Justin Bieber
Followers: Over 15 million
The “Never Say Never” star has a diehard following on Twitter. Not only does he have a growing base of fans, Twitter is inundated by the Bieber fan account. After allegations that he has illegitimately fathered a child with a 20-year-old fan surfaced and spread like wild fire on the internet, the young heartthrob expressed his reaction on Twitter by writing, “I’m going to ignore the rumours and focus on what is real.” He continued, “Judge me on the music!”
Demi Lovato
Followers: Over 5 million
Demi is an avid Twitter user. From defending her healthy weight to skeptics — “I’ve gained weight. Get over it. That’s what happens when you get out of treatment for AN EATING DISORDER.” — to showing off the matching tattoos she and her mom got, the star loves to reach out to her fans via tweets.
Lovato, who recently got out of rehab, quit Twitter in October 2010, much to her fans’ disappointment but rejoined the social networking site in 2011.
