Twitter Alert

Twitter saw former Spice Girl and fashion designer Victoria Beckham joining its ranks last week. “There have been so many people claiming to tweet as me. I thought it was time for me to tweet up,” she told E! Online. Her Twitter handle is @vbfashionweek. “I thought it would be fun for people to see firsthand an inside look at my experiences during Fashion Week,” Beckham said.

Ashton Kutcher is reportedly threatening to sue the editors of a US tabloid for defamation, following an article they published suggesting he had been cheating on his wife Demi Moore.

The actor took aim at a Star magazine report that his five-year marriage was “in danger of falling apart” following the “bombshell news” that the actor was “caught cheating with a sexy, young 20-something”.

The actor is angry over the infidelity reports and has threatened to sue the magazine, reports imdb.com.

“Star magazine - you don’t get to stand behind ‘freedom of the press’ when you are writing fiction. I think Star magazine calling me a ‘cheater’ qualifies as defamation of character. I hope my lawyer agrees,” Kutcher posted on Twitter.

Discrimination against anyone, who is able to do good work for the people affected by the floods at this stage, shall be making the suffering worse for their own selfish reasons. It is time to unite and I am proud of the celebrities who have confirmed their support for Pervez Musharraf’s flood relief telethon coming up soon. Thank you all.
