What do you use your twitter page for? I’m going to guess it’s for personal usage but maybe a little business or something. Either way I’m sure you’re most likely not receiving any money for your tweets, unlike some celebrities who are getting up to $10,000 per tweet.
Yes you read that right, some of these people are getting $10,000 and upwards for endorsing products on their twitter page.
It’s obvious the likes of Kim Kardashian receives money for her tweets because every second tweet is about how she loves new products and urges everybody to try them out. In fact I just went to her page and seen 3 things that she is obvious getting paid to promote.
According to Ad.ly, a company that gets people on twitter with advertising partners, celebrities earn all this money just to post a couple of lines.
Greg Grunberg and Samantha Ronosn both donate their money to charities while the others pocket the money, these people include Nicole Richie, Brooke Burke, Channing Tatum and a whole lot more. You can view a full list of celebrities using this here.
Sean Rad, CEO of the advertising company, says that Britney Spears and P. Diddy would be the dream people to have with the amount of followers they have. He also says the could earn a whopping $20,000 per tweet.
A new law says that celebrities and normal folk must declare all money they earn on blogs or social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. If not they could face a fine up to $11,000.

Tiger Woods has just lost the first of his many endorsements following the backlash of his cheating on his wife Elin Nordegren.
Accenture released a statement on Sunday saying that they have dropped the golf player from his six-year contract with them following the controversy of the past few weeks. The statement read…
For the past six years, Accenture and Tiger Woods have had a very successful sponsorship arrangement. His achievements on the golf course have been a powerful metaphor for business success in Accenture’s advertising. However, given the circumstances of the last two weeks, after careful consideration and analysis, the company has determined that he is no longer the right representative for its advertising.”
In response to this Mark Steinberg, an agent for Woods, said “we are disappointed but respect their decision. That is all I have to say to you.”
While Accenture are the first company to drop him, they aren’t the first company to distance themselves from him. Gillette have decided to to remove him from all advertisements and have hinted that they are going to completely get rid of him soon.
Damon Jones, a spokesman for the company, went on radio and said “who knows what will happen in the future? We’re not speculating.’(But) our actions are clear. We have a brand ambassador who we have said is no longer going to appear in our advertising.’That is a pretty clear statement about where we are going. Actions speak louder than words.”
AT&T have said they are still evaluating on what to do with with Woods, Tag Heur have also removed him from all adverts that are in their stores. As for Gatorade, another of his endorsements, who are owned by Pepsi they too have dropped a drink he was endorsing although they are saying ti was unrelated to his cheating scandal.
The golfer shouldn’t cry too much just yet though because his main sponsors, Nike and Electronic Arts, have decided that they are standing by him and have offered his their “full support.”
It has been estimated that Tiger Woods earns an estimated $110 million a year in his endorsements. What company should I make a bet on that will drop him next?

When I got this email about Megan Fox I kind of laughed but then at the same time I felt incredibly jealous that celebrities get offered millions of dollars just for being themselves.
You see, Megan Fox’s agent over at International Creative Management (ICM) was sent documents, which you can see in the thumbnails below, asking if she would endorse Breast Enhancement for BreastEnhancement.com and if she wouldn’t then would she endorse their sister site BreastCancer.net
The letter says…. We feel that Ms.Fox would be the most ideal celebrity for BreastEnhancement.com to partner with. It is our understanding that Ms.Fox has not had any cosmetic surgery to date nor plans on dong so. We respect her personal choices and simply feel that having an international flm star of her level would be of great benefit to our organization. Ms.Fox exudes beauty, confidence and success which are three qualities that all women aspire to have.
Fox got offered $1.5 million to be the spokeswoman and the only thing she would have to do is make twelve appearances at events throughout the United States promoting the site, she would also have to shoot four :30 second commercials for them.
It must be nice being someone like Megan Fox, getting offered over a million bucks just for having a nice rack.

Good news for us all, Megan Fox has signed on to be the the new face of Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans campaigns.
Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott snapped the 23 -year-old over the weekend in Los Angeles and the ads will appear worldwide in magazines and on billboards starting in January.
Fox is replacing Victoria Beckham who has been the face up to now, last week it was announced that Cristiano Ronaldo will be replacing David Beckham as the face of Armani Men’s Underwear.
Replacing Victoria Beckham with Megan Fox is definitely a step in the right direction, although I wonder how many accidents will happen with men being distracted by the ads.

The chief marketing officer for Rampage, Dari Marder, said “we were looking for a fresh new face to follow our spring campaign with Gisele Bundchen and when we met Bar we instantly fell in love with her. Bar is sweet, young, sexy and beautiful just like our Rampage customer. We look forward to a wonderful partnership.”

Gilles Bensimon was the photographer behind these pictures, they shot the photos at some house in Los Angeles.
The campaign will debut in September with pictures being on billboards, in magazines like Elle and Cosmopolitan, and of course online.
I’m going to finish up the same way I started by saying – Bar Refaeli is hot!

Check out these new ads featuring Scarlett Johansson as the new face of Moët & Chandon champagne.
In the pictures Scarlett pops open a bottle of champagne while a bunch of paparazzi in the background take her picture, in another she tries to be sexy while holding a glass in between her toes.
I’ve said it before, I don’t really find her sexy but I know some of you do so enjoy these pictures, even though Scarlett Johansson is overshadowed by props in all the pictures.

If you haven’t been to a Toys R Us recently, you may be unaware of all the Hannah Montana items the store sells. It’s a lot like the abundant amount of crap found at Wal Mart.
Well, one Toys R Us employee states,
I happen to work there so I get to see it every day. One lovely accessory we sell is a purple hobo bag featuring the one and only, Hannah Montana.
The bag has sparkley letters dangling from the flap that spell out “ROCK.” Or at least, its supposed to.
Can you imagine how many mother’s picked up that item and said, “WTF?” Someone SO DID THAT on purpose!!
