I know I wouldn’t.? That’s a true violation, but a man in Baltimore was recently asked for his social media passwords when he reapplied for his former job as a corrections offer, and to make matters worse, he had to watch as his personal page and its postings were perused by an investigator during the interview!
These dayum jobs are going way to far! What’s next? Bank account and voice mail PINs?

Ciara and 50 Cent got into a battle of words via the social networking site, Twitter recently.
The pair, who were once rumored to be an item although they were rarely seen together, are apparently following each other very closely on twitter.
Fiddy visited the Playboy Mansion over the weekend and hit up his twitter to brag online about his “pimp’n.” He even wrote about gathering a few “hoes” on twitter.
That apparently struck a chord with his “ex” Ciara, who promptly struck back with a few subliminal messages. The two lovebirds exchanged pleasantries for quite some time, to the amusement of their legions of fans.
Check out Ciara & Fiddy’s “twitter beef” below: Continue Reading…
Comedian/Syndicated talk show host Rickey Smiley showed his true colors this morning on the social networking site Twitter. I had no idea what was going on til loyal reader Gwendella hit me up on email:
Re: Rickey Smiley
This fool is losing his mind. ?He cursed that girl out cause she asked him ‘really?’ after he cursed someone else out. He’s loyal to Steve something serious. You know Mary was everywhere this morning.
So I head over to check out Rickey’s page… and he’s trying to explain himself. Talbmout how Christians aren’t exempt from cursing yada… yada.. yada…
But when I saw what Rickey posted that actually started all the backlash I couldn’t believe my eyes… Continue Reading…
Kanye West hit twitter last week and made light of his infamous Taylor Swift mic snatching incident in a comical note he sent to Britney Spears last Friday via Twitter.
Last Tuesday, Spears released a new song “Hold It Against Me,” that reached No. 1 on iTunes. Ironically, West and Jay-Z dropped their new track, “H.A.M.,” the same day, and it came in at No. 2.
West graciously acknowledged Spears’ chart victory with the following tweet:
Fans were divided but I thought it was hilarious that Kanye could laugh at himself.
Kanye has since deleted the tweet but his battle with the media rages on. After facing off with NBC?s Matt Lauer last year, the outspoken rapper took to Twitter to defend himself over the tweet.
?Ye?s comment apparently angered some Britney fans and others who interpreted it as a jab at the pop star. Some even felt that he was being insensitive about the whole Taylor Swift thing…. but Kanye insists it was not an attack on her and hit the tweets to explain: Continue Reading…
In case you were wondering what the hell was going on with Lil Wayne on Twitter last night… worry no more!? Wayne is the latest victim of hackers who illegally accessed his twitter account and managed to post a series of shocking messages to Weezy’s millions of followers.
Lil Wayne’s account is now listed as “suspended for suspicious activity” after being hacked by the internet pranksters, who sent a number of questionable messages to his fans and famous followers.
The rapper?s page is said to have been illegally accessed sometime Sunday afternoon (January 16), and a series of strange posts were subsequently sent out.
The hacker sent rude messages to several of Wayne?s celebrity pals, including 50 Cent, Soulja Boy and The Game. It was all fun and games until the hacker begin making explicit implications about the the hitmaker?s recent stint in prison on weapons possession charges.
And when the hackers went in on Soulja Boy’s poor album sales, it was a wrap…
Lil Wayne?s Twitter account has since been taken offline. Wayne’s page was hacked once before, late last year, with the impostor posting fake news that the rapper would be performing with Nicki Minaj. Lil Wayne said at the time, ?I was just mad that somebody went on my Twitter, like that?s my personal Twitter!?
In case you missed the online hilarity yesterday, check out all the screen shots of what the hacker’s posted on Lil Wayne’s account below: Continue Reading…
Check out this cool pic as further proof that the City of Atlanta still hasn’t thawd out.
Turner Field became a popular trending topic on the social networking site twitter today, after the above photo of the “iced out” ball park hit the net. The home of the Braves resembles a hockey rink more so than a baseball park, but it should be back in the green in a week or so.
The awesome shot originated from fellow Atlantan and twitterer @JMar99. Great job Jason!
