Celebrities on the Internet

With the anonymity of the Internet; do you ever wonder whether you've spoken to a celebrity online? I guess anonymous forums give celebs a chance to mingle with the commonfolk. I dont just mean movie stars; Buzz Aldrin, Zuckerberg, Hillary Clinton, David Attenborough, Neil Degrasse-Tyson - they could be here authoring OPs, sharing their thoughts and feelings only to disappear into the ether, back to their rich people lives.

When you think about it the internet provides an equal standing. Rich or poor, nobody can tell. Nobody can see that you're sitting in a crummy internet cafe in South Korea eating cup noodles or whether you're sitting in your penthouse overlooking Park Avenue. On the internet, nobody can see your top of the line computer or your crappy beat up laptop. We seem to be at a point where there is such inequality in real life; a man could work every day of his adult life and never earn as much as a tech billionaire could in 1 week. Yet with the anonymity of the internet all avatars can be equal.

Besides a few celebrities have admitted to having fake FB accounts to keep in touch with loved ones.

Take ATS. I'm sure in the very least Jeff Goldblum has a profile here he's such a conspiracy nut. I wonder who has an ATS account and we dont even know who they really are...

(sorry for my ramblings. I have deep thoughts before I head off to sleepyland)

If there are, they've gotten a piece of my mind.

Sometimes I let John Podesta use my account.

Why would that not surprise me?

It shouldn't, I get free visits to the Kill Room.

This thread is because Augustus outed my identity as Mylee Cyrus isn't it?

Maybe some do things like that but I think most celebrities or famous people are too narcissistic to not want to be recognized. Very few humble people in that bunch.

But then again I might just be Brad Pitt trying to fake you out

Is that why I get the twerk urge when reading your post?!

I get that a lot.

I'm sure they are here. I'm almost positive Prince was on another site. Heck, on Facebook, I have had conversations with some minor celebs. I even talk to a YouTube celeb almost daily, it's not like I know this person in real life, we just call each other horrible names and laugh. I would like to think Dan Akroyd visits here.

They live.

It seems you have no idea what their life is like. It’s real, full of events, not virtual. Their downfall is another story.

Someone with photoshop skills needs to put an old dude on a wrecking ball ... just for you.

Robbie Williams used to be a member here I believe.

George Clooney

I am sure celebs sometimes just want to be a regular Joe but can't so the internet gives them a glimpse of reality away from their professional personas. It's probably both healthy and unhealthy depending on their circumstances. Truthfully, who cares if they are talking to celebs if they are incognito-we all are basically just people typing on a computer spewing whatever.

Hey, when the hell are you movin to Canada anyway?

You should add some snow shoes to the fat man me thinks

It is fairly well known that there are celebs who play certain online games, just not exactly who they are in-game.

Jesse Ventura used to hang around these parts .
