Celebrity Twitter: Too Much Information!
Originally posted 05/30/2009 11:15AM
Twitter etiquette comes easier to some celebrities than others.
Earlier this week, Al Roker made headlines when he posted pictures on his Twitter page taken with his cellphone while he was doing jury duty at Manhattan Supreme Court. Fail! The Today show weatherman ended up apologizing to court officials for breaking the rules.
And he's not the first star to raise eyebrows over a tweet. Let us recount our favorite examples of celebrity TMI (too much information) on Twitter.
Kinda Cute
• Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13): The car just arrived to take us to the airport. Taped to the seat in front of me is a sign: "Taylor, don't forget your retainer. Dad"..Nice.
• Omarosa from The Apprentice (@omarosa): correction: the dog is walking me* I can barely keeps up * i hope he poops soon or I am going to be late
What's the Word ... Uninhibited?
• Lisa Rinna (@lisarinna): now that the hubby is tweeting 24/7 as i am will we need to start having twittersex? is there such a thing?
• Kirstie Alley (@kirstiealley): Although no one has asked I like this new name for a vagina..A POLLY WOG..yes I tried that term out today and got good feed back..YOU?

PEOPLE's Groovy Guide to Celebrity Deejays
Originally posted 05/27/2009 02:25PM
Watch out Samantha Ronson, there are new celebrity deejays in town!
While some already make their living in rock bands, now many more musicians and actors are stepping behind the turntables (or iPods), and moonlighting as deejays at the hottest clubs and parties. Here's everything you need to know about some of the most notable:
Ryan Gosling
Signature Sound: Favorites from the '50s, '60s, '80s, indie rock and old-fashioned rock 'n' roll – anything from the Andrew Sisters to Bruce Springsteen to Edwin Collins. Gosling occasionally takes requests but he really just plays his favorites.
The Venue: Bardot Hollywood. He has a regular slot there Thursday nights.
Special Guests: Liv Tyler, Kate Hudson and Mick Jagger have caught Gosling's set.
Time to (Break)Dance: He draws a crowd – and hooks them! Gosling has been known to rile up clubgoers by positioning a spotlight on the dance floor. He also mingles, and people even breakdance to his music – including his deejay partner and best bud Zach Shields.

Benji Madden Looks Forward to Being an Uncle Again
Originally posted 03/02/2009 11:15AM
They are twins who "share everything," but Benji and Joel Madden have very different lives right now – and Benji couldn't be happier.
Two weeks after Joel and Nicole Richie announced that they're expecting baby No. 2, the "single" twin tells PEOPLE he's ready to be an uncle again, just not a dad.
Besides, he's had a while to get used to the idea – he knew about the pregnancy long before it was announced publicly. "You have to wait before you can tell people," he admits at the World Poker Tour Celebrity Invitational in California. "I found out a little bit earlier. We're twin brothers so we share everything."
Madden, who calls the pregnancy "exciting," hopes his brother has a big family. "They're the best parents I've ever seen," he says.

Is Benji Madden Katy Perry's New Valentine?
Originally posted 02/15/2009 02:00PM
Earlier in the night she may have called it "the horror that is Valentine's Day," but Katy Perry appears to have been struck by cupid's arrow – which also seems to have hit Paris Hilton's ex, Benji Madden.
Following her Valentine's show at Hard Rock Hotel's Wasted Space, Perry, 24, and Madden, 29, headed to Lavo – where the two conspicuously cuddled throughout the night, later prompting one observer to sense "some chemistry there."
Madden, in town to deejay, even danced for Perry during several songs – and at those rare times when their hands weren't on each other's legs.

Benji Madden Doesn't Sweat Small Stuff
Originally posted 12/31/2008 12:45PM
When it comes to rumors, Benji Madden says the best medicine is a sense of humor. He would know, too, since the last year of his life has been profiled and scrutinized in the media largely based on a high-profile romance with Paris Hilton.
"You just kind of have to laugh about all the things that are said," he told PEOPLE. "People will call me all the time and be like 'Hey, I heard this or that.' "
To clear up the latest rumor, no, he isn't dating Britney Spears. "That one was news to me. My friend called me and asked if I was dating Britney because he read it somewhere and I was like, what?"

Paris Hilton and Benji Madden may have broken up, but they're still close friends, she said Friday.
"You know, I love him. He's such an amazing man and he's my best friend and he's been so great to me and so loyal," Hilton said Friday on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS F.M. radio show. "He's an incredible person. We'll always be very close. We'll see what happens in the future. I'm still in love with him."
Asked what happened, Hilton cited busy work schedules and lots of travel as the reason behind their split.
"We're both working so much," she told Seacrest. "There are all these reports saying that I dumped Benji. That's not true. This was a decision we made together as two adults."

Benji Madden: 'Paris and I Are Very Happy'

Benji Madden and Paris Hilton's relationship is intact and better than ever, the Good Charlotte guitarist tells PEOPLE.
Reports that he cheated on his girlfriend of nine months are "definitely not true," Madden, 29, tells PEOPLE. "It's very frustrating when you finally find yourself in a good relationship and people attack it. I wear my feelings on my sleeve. I'm very open about how in love I am – Paris and I are very happy."
Madden, whose band will release its next album, The Greatest Remixes, on Nov. 25, says one of his and Hilton's relationship rules was inspired by Johnny Cash and his longtime love, wife June Carter Cash.
