Twitter, the place where PR nightmares are born.
Actors are still business men, they have a reputation to uphold. They need to realize that not all of them are Patti Lupone. They can't just say what ever they want and have the response of everyone smiling, shaking our heads, and saying "Oh, that crazy Patti is at it again."

Posted: 6/13/12 at 3:54pmEveryone is allowed to say what they ****ing want on their own social networking site pages, it's their own affair. That woman should DEFINITELY not be in show business, if she can't take a tiny comment from a spectator. What would she say if the NY Times wrote a 2-page review 'insulting' her performance. Take a hike, lady!!!

Hasn't seemed to hurt
Alec Baldwin
Rosie O'Donnell
Roseanne Barr
They still say the most outrageous things that seem to go unchallenged.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 6/13/12 at 3:57pmMan, I really wish people would stop using the word bullying when they aren't referring to bullying. And if anyone sounds like a bully here, it's the terrible Christine, not the original tweeter.

That's what most of the people who are aware of this have said, according to the article.
Seriously, chill the f**k out lady.

Posted: 6/13/12 at 4:01pmBullying has become the go-to word used to try to make any situation seem more dire (not Daae) than it is. Because if you use the B word, you're automatically the victim in any situation.

True, yet we expect it from them. That was kinda my point with the rest of that post. When Rosie says something outlandish, we shake our heads and say "Crazy Rosie is at it again."
This is an actress whose main credit in her professional life is the umteenth replacement for Christine in The Phantom of the Opera. She is not a big name with a big personality that everyone grudgingly accepts. She is a barely recognizable actress who will want to find work in the future. I don't want to hire someone who has a history of flying off the handle and risk drawing negative attention to my production.
I guess my big problem with Twitter and a lot of Social Networking is that people post on them without really thinking about it first. Too much personal information is given away, things are said without fully thinking through the possible consequences. I just think that if you choose to live in a glass house, you should be careful where you undress.

some do Jimmy,
'Elizabeth Taylor' was on Twitter. Can anyone imagine that or even believe it? Someone that important/elderly would not bother to have a Twitter account?

Posted: 6/13/12 at 4:26pmI know some do. It is possible, but you would think after the news getting into the telegraph that if it were untrue she would have her representative smoothing things over and telling everyone it wasn't her.

I don't see the problem. Anyone can say what they want.
The fan had an opinion, and the actress had an opinion.
Today we live in a world where everyone expresses their opinions through these sites.
When other actors write stuff like that, nobody gives a damn. So now it's the commons against the stars and the commons decide which stars can say what they want on the internet and which ones can't?
I actually like the actress' reaction and I wonder where the idea comes from that anyone can say what they want online except certain celebrities, while others can?
It's actually quite fascinating that actors are not allowed to be real people, and if they speak their mind, people experience it as "negative".
If every popular actor would stop lying in interviews/social occasions/internet everyone would hate them. I guess it's part of the job, but I see the lying and fake answers as negative and I wish they were more honest and real.
I actually like this actress more now.
I suppose the commons just want to see "the perfect star". An illusion or something.
Every star is on facebook, every star is on twitter, the internet makes the world a very small place, so don't be surprised if you read an honest opinion of a star every now and then, or if one of them expresses their opinion to you. It's 2012.
Also, I'm surprised that "The Telegraph" is so surprised by an actress that is honest online. It shows they don't really catch up with modern times.

Posted: 6/13/12 at 4:35pm@ jimmycurry, yes one could think that but is it worth arguing in the press. I just don't think these 'stars' have any time at all to bother with twitter, truly I don't. They are far too busy and when not busy they must be catching up on their sleep. I do believe that they are fakes and trolls logging in as 'stars', laughing as they tweet....sickos/disturbed teenagers etc

We just expect certain behaviors from certain celebrities. It doesn't mean we like it, we have just become used to it. We know that Rosie, Mel Gibson, and Alec Baldwin are PR nightmares. They say stupid stuff all the time, we have become immune to it. This does not mean they shouldn't be careful about what they say and where they say it, it just means we expect them not to be careful. I also don't expect to see Rosie or Mel Gibson getting all that much work in the future because of it.
Rosie is actually a very good example. She has made herself quite unlikable over the years. Now, no one wants to watch her. Her last show tanked, if she is lucky enough to get another one, that show will also likely tank. She spews crap from her mouth or finger tips and our reaction is "crazy Rosie is at it again." We accept it, and move on. Had she been more careful, had she not aired her dirty laundry in public, perhaps she would still have a real career, and not the D-list gigs she gets now.

Ya know...this reminds me of an acting class I took. One guy got up and did this really strange thing with his character. It was ridiculous. It seemed like he was just making weird choices to make weird choices. When he was called on it, he defended his bizarre performance by saying, 'Well...Woody Harrelson does it...look at his crazy performance in 2012!!' I said, 'Yes...but he's an Emmy-winning, Oscar nommed actor who has had a particular public presence for over a quarter of a century. He's allowed to be batSH*T. You're not.'
We accept it from stars because they are stars. They've created a brand spent many years cultivating a particular public persona. Because we know them, we give them a wider berth. But unknowns? PROTECT THE BRAND. It's like a fetus. Let it gestate. Build your a career to a point where you can get away with this SH*T.
I hope that actor in my class got the point. Cause he was cute and talented and actually an interesting actor when he stopped trying to be interesting.

yes I understand what the last two posts are saying but that is actually the star you have witnessed, not some anonymous poster who can parade as a star.
Does anyone really believe that Elizabeth Taylor would tweet? At her age, she probably wouldn't even be aware of tweeting

And, of course, with more established (but non-tech savvy stars), they sometimes pay people to be their Twitter persona (Facebook as well).
