Justin Bieber, the teenage rock star along with red haired R&B star Rihanna, the Irish band U2, Trinidadian hip hop star Nicki Minaj are appearing in their latest album which will be released by the end of this week. It is a charity album which is especially being produced to help the victims of Japan Tsunami that hit the island country on the 11th of March. “Japan needs our help … we all need to step up…” Justin tweeted just after the news of their new album got publicized.

Universal Music gets the release rights of the album. Right now Universal Music is ready to release the album only digitally by this weekend. It will be a global release. The digital release of the album is planned because of the fastness of the mode, though there are possibilities of releasing the album as records later.

Justin Bieber Tweets about His Plan to Grow Moustache

Justin Bieber, the teenaged rock star is planning to appear a little bigger than he actually is. He is all set to look mature and grown up, perhaps to attract the attention of grown ups! So Bieber fans be ready to see your heartthrob in moustache! “im not shaving for a month so you all can see my moustache.. im pumped”, Justin tweeted last Saturday.

Time will only tell how great the teen star will look in moustache. But he is surely working hard to have it grown. May be he is taking the decision only after checking out what his fans love to see as he had a very bad experience with his decision to cut off his locks.

When he had a hair style change in the past, he really had a very shocking experience as around 80,000 Twitter fans moved out of his follower list. Such a big loss is really heart breaking. Just a little hair style change with his shaggy looking locks being cut off got so many of his fans off, you never know how a little change in your appearance can change the way in which people look at you.

As his Twitter page suggests that he is always on “My World Tour”; right now he is busy in his Dublin tour. All his fans across Ireland can see him performing in the Emerald Isle. Though his Irish fans from Northern Ireland had been trying as hard as possible to have him perform in Belfast, it could not happen, better luck to them next time! But they can surely see him performing in Dublin this time!

As the grape vine has it, there took place riots in Dublin streets! It is believed that Bieber was out in the market near Grafton Street of Dublin for shopping which made all his fans to take to the street in huge groups shouting out his name creating a total chaos around the place.

Perhaps, this is his last show without moustache! Now, if he succeeds in growing moustache, his next live performance will have him in an entirely new avatar! Well when hair cut can reduce his fans, you never know if the growing of moustache can grow up his fan base!

Uday Chopra’s Tweets Revealed His Sportsmanship!

Doesn’t it feel great getting an award? Remember how you felt when you were a child and received best student of the year award or a sports award for performing in the athletic events? Answering in one word, I’d say you felt GREAT, isn’t it? But how would you have felt had you received an award for performing the worst in the studies or sports, or any other thing? Well, it’s quite a tricky situation; you never know how to react, right? But our Bollywood stars don’t miss a single chance to feel happy and enjoy! Recently Uday Chopra tweeted about the award he received even though it was for being worst!

Uday chopra’s film Pyaar Impossible got the Worst Film of the Year Award by Annual Ghanta Awards! The film did really well in the ‘Worst’ category as it also bagged away with the Worst Couple Award! Uday did really well to prove his chemisty with Priyanka Chopra worst! Performing worst is as difficult a task as performing well, not all movies get nominated in this category and neither all of them get awarded! Annual Ghanta Awards did see the pains Uday took in making his movie Worst and awarded him and he showed his sporting spirit by accepting the award!

Uday Chopra’s tweet went this way, “I know I shouldn't be tweeting this but found it hard to resist. PI wins worst film. Im actually excited by this..lol” To which Abhichek Bachchan replied, “well brada, like i always say, some award is better than none! regardless of the category. CONGRATULATIONS!!!”

Interestingly, Abhishek’s wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan too is a proud owner of the Worst actress award. She received the awards in two films namely Robot and Raavan! Now this only she can say whether she is really proud of the award or not!

Uday’s sportsmanship got reflected in one more of his tweets, “ha ha thanks BRADA!!! I shall celebrate this in my own way, by staying at home...lol” Seriously, people like Uday make Bollywood flashing with sportsmanship!! Perhaps our Film Industry has more spirited players than our sports teams!!

Celebrity Twitterers In Trouble For Controversial Tweets!

Twitter is one of the largest social networking platforms with its really large number of users. The number of Twitter users at the moment is about 190 million but the number is constantly increasing and you never know when it reaches a blasting limit!! And its approx. 190 million users are busy producing about 65 million tweets every day.

This suggests that if you are a frequent Twitterer, your tweets have a really vast audience! And every word that your tweets speak has to be cautiously chosen for you never know who’s going to come across your tweet and who will then retweet them, and finally how the readers are going to react to them.

Twitter is the most popular social media platform and creates the same effects as the print media or the radio or television broadcast does. One wrong comment and you are gone forever. You never know if somebody uses your tweets to create a controversy or bring defamation for you. And even if the matter doesn’t go that bad and that far, they can still put you in embarrassing situations if they are not posted with caution.

This is what happened with some of the celebrity twitterers. Courtney Love’s controversial Twitter posts have not only brought her a lot of insult but have also brought her severe monitory losses as well. Her comments on fashion designer Dawn Simonrangkir has cost her millions of pounds as defamation claims. Her tweets have damaged her to a really great extent.

Similar to Courtney’s case, Ryan Babel too created a storming controversy through his Twitter posts. His Twitter post related to Howard Webb, the referee of the recent Manchester United Vs Liverpoool FA Cup game immensely damaged the footballer’s reputation bringing him instant defamatory comments from the audiences as well as sports critics.

It is not that only the popular Twitterers or the celebrities on Twitter who have to face such troubles, even the commoners on Twitter can be in trouble due to their controversial tweets. And it is not just the movie, rock, or sport stars who actively post Twitter updates. There are several many famous and not so famous, big and not so big businesses advertising and promoting their companies, services, and products through Twitter. Then there are the news makers or the journalists, the politicians, and even the enthusiastic citizens from the world over, who keep tweeting from time to time. And if they forget to be a little cautious before posting their tweets, they too may have to face storming tribulations!

So next time when you post a comment against your competitors, or overly popularize your product or service through tweets, just remember if your comments are controversial or promotions are baseless, you too may have to pay huge penalties!

Celebrity Tweets Bring Them Near Us

Bollywood Celebrities On TwitterWhat’s the fastest means to know what’s happening in a Bollywood celeb’s life? Google fans will surely say Google up, you’ll come to know!! TV fans won’t miss a single chance of praising the TV channels and their efforts, after all they can’t miss watching TV, and if praising lets them watch more, that’s a real gain for them, isn’t it!!

But do the TV channels or online news sites really get you the most current of the happenings? Media can approach a star either before or after a particular show and they can reach them even when the show is on but will they reach them when they are resting in the green rooms and are not ready to face the media? Surely they can’t but of course you can!!

You can reach a Bollywood star’s green room, even his drawing room, and even when they are holidaying in some private islands and that too without actually going there! Well, this is possible because they are really ready to meet you, tell you what they are doing, share what they feel, and because they are always tweeting!

So Shahrukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, and Shahid Kapoor were at the Twenty-Twenty Cricket Match in Durban that took place between South Africa and India and their mesmerizing performances made their fans go really happy, snappy, and exuberantly lost in the cricket fever by their superbly scintillating performances!!

Of course, Google have got you all the latest information, even the best of the pics directly from the show, and the news sites would have got you all the latest updates from the show and the match and you’d be able to check out the stars’ interview from the TV channels too but how about getting the personal presence felt? How about knowing how the stars felt after the show, perhaps when they were at home, the media wasn’t present, and no interviewer was around? Now this kind of intimacy with the stars can’t be imagined without their presence on Twitter. Just a little tweet tells more about a celebrity than anyone else.

The stars were really excited about the show to be held in Durban, this is what one of the Shahid’s tweets suggests, “So heading to south Africa for a show… Love the audience there… Love live concerts..” Perhaps he tweeted this on his way to the concert, when there wasn’t anyone around to take his interview!

The show went superb, but weren’t the stars exhausted? Well, they aren’t supermen or spidermen they would have definitely! But how would you know? Simple read their tweets and know when they are genuinely sad, happy, angry and tired. Their exhaustion was revealed by Shahid’s another tweet, “Blown…. Half asleep.. Heading back homie… 50 thousand people at the mosis mabida stadium.. Loved it”

It is really undeniable that celebrity tweets do bring them near, indeed nearer than they are brought by TV channels or any other media!
