How curious. Why on earth would someone fake a twitter? Those posts take like two seconds each, I assume she has some free time throughout the day, and those tweets are not particularly flattering. I actually don't see the point of even faking a blog. Is there a record of anyone actually doing that? , sorry Henry, I assumed you were more cynical - aside from the hundreds of fake celebrity accounts, celebrity internet media pages are no different from a fan clubs where teams of people are employed to personally answer each and every fan letter. I'm not claiming that Cyrus's tweets are ghosted, just would be surprised if they weren't. I am usually, but that account was verified as real by twitter, and I don't think it's the same thing as answering fanmail.   I also just want to beliiiiiieeeeeeve

May I quote one of my favorite band here

I used to trust the media to tell us the truth, tell us the truth.
but now i've seen the payoffs everywhere i look
who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

I've heard of her and the show, but never seen it. Anyway, I dare put my money on her not monitoring the tweeter and answer everything. Politicians and celebrity work that way.
