Alexa Chung got her own gig on MTV. "The Alexa Chung Show" features the former British T4 personality and style maven. Her costars--and the key to the program’s success--are linked to Twitter.
Twitter has hooked up with MTV to allow anybody with a Twitter account to be a part of the show. Reactions can be tweeted and will appear live on screen to make the Twitter fans the stars.
Will Alexa Chung be able to handle the barrage of critical comments about herself, her fashion and her lifestyle? How about when the trolls take over? Pretty faces sometimes can’t handle trolls--I know I have that problem.
