Lady Gaga was the first person to hit 20 million Twitter followers, a stat she reached just last month. It’s a mere few weeks later and she’s already well past 21 million followers. Make that over 21,186,000 at press time.
Twitter, like most social media networks, is frequently derided by outsiders as being a pointless forum for people to overshare the meaningless trivia of their lives.

Fact: Few pop stars are hotter or sexier than Rihanna. She doesn’t need to prove it, but her horde of fans (especially the boys) won’t complain when she posts a super sexy topless photo on her Twitter account. However, it’s not X-rated, since she covers the “girls” with her strategically placed arm. Dare we say that the image is artfully and impulsively sexy? It’s certainly not vulgar.
Fresh off the Harvard launch of her Born This Way Foundation, Lady Gaga has yet another reason to celebrate. No, it’s not her birthday either. That’s later this month, on March 28, when she turns 26.

The Twitterverse got a lil saltier. ‘X Factor‘ judge Simon Cowell has joined Twitter, which he announced last night on the performance episode. Cowell is a bit behind the digital times, creating his account on Wednesday, Nov. 16. Hey, better late than never to the social networking party, right?
When you’re as successful as Kanye West, you can make a lot of things true simply by saying them out loud. Luckily for Black Eyed Peas fans, not even Kanye can cause a band’s breakup by announcing it.
