Just as we’ve had fake celebrity Facebook profiles and Twitter accounts - now we have real celebrity "Tweeps" and video footage from the Oscars.
Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, "the most prolific Oscar Twitters," have posted several videos using online video provider Qik - one of P Diddy dancing to Prince with an Oscar (it’s very blurry!), and another of Ashton and Moore at home before the party, looking very domestic. Reading the fans’ comments in response to this video was very interesting.
P Diddy’s Oscar Tweeps included, "I’m holding an oscar rt now and takin a bubble bath!!!! God is great!!! Let’s go people."
How liberating it must be for Twittering celebs to bypass the paparazzi and directly engage with their fans in the Twittersphere!
