I don't think you can be friends with celebrities, but I'm not sure. But what I really know is that you can be a fan of them. Some celebrities has their own facebook fan page and they upload photos, update their status, etc.

Well I am not too sure if those celebrates own account, I think it could be some fan or even the record or film company that is trying to boost that celebrity. Actually you can never be sure would is behind that book. cheers.

It all depends on what kind of account they have set up. An amazing guitarist (currently playing with Ashes Divide, formerly of Kill Hannah) has a personal page on Facebook.... He has some "fans" on there but not too many, mostly it's his real life friends and family. People like that, you never know if they'll add you unless you ask.

Yes, this is true- it depends on how the celebrity set up their page. They can have a fan page or a regular page. I have celebrities on my friends list that have both. 3 of them have it set up the regular way and I am on their friends list.

Well you mean something like the american idol sort of show, I guess she would want to use facebook to help her boost her popularity, don't you think so? I guess she would be glad for your support.

Let's see if I can remember them all. LOL! Dr. Phil, Donny Osmond, Phil Keoghan (Amazing Race), Sylvia Brown. Then there are those who I am fans of like The Ellen Degeneres Show, Joy Fielding, and probably a ton more. But for actually being friends of, I think it's just the first 4 mentioned. They are the ones I get updates from on my newsfeed.

I follow more stars on Twitter. That's really all I follow on Twitter. It's fun to see what people like Howie Mandel have to say. Dr. Phil and Ellen's posts on Facebook are the exact same as what they post on Twitter.

I have no celebrities on my facebook. How do you know if it's really them or someone just opening an account pretending to be them? If you do a search of any popular celebrity, you'll see several listings for the same person. I am friends with some local celebrities, like news anchors, but that is stretching it a bit.

You can usually tell who the real celebrities are by the number of friends they have. Ellen Degeneres said you would know who she was buy her photo because she changed it every single day, but she stopped doing that. On Twitter I recently checked a celebrity and there was a check mark next to one indicating they had been proven to be the real deal.

Well I guess this is one of the ways this up and coming stars would be able to promote their new shows and concert I guess. I think they would be glad if people are interested in what they do. That keep the money rolling in for them minx267.

My friendster account had some celebrities on it but my facebook account has nothing of the sort. I have a habit of not adding friends in those social networking sites instead I let them add me. I welcome anyone who adds me up even if I don't know them

I'm friends with Russell Brand, Matt Berry (a comedian), Justin Hawkins (from the band "The Darkness") and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall (A TV chef). and I am a member of lots of others fan pages. I don't speak to them but it means you can see their status messages and comment on them and you also hear about things they are doing earlier than others.

I guess facebook is more far reaching and reach to almost every vocation and all type of people here. Stars, chef, musician. Did you hear the latest, loanshark using it to bully the lenders.

Well it would take time but once your friend starts finding you, the whole group would just drop by. unless you do not use your own name.

I think I've added some and being listed as their fans. And some have a real large group of fan base and that's really awesome..

Not really communicating. But I see some fans posting fan messages; positive ones and there are updates of the celeb like upcoming concerts, how to get tickets and etc.

Well who have you added under your friends, then. I wonder do they actually communicate with you or is just another number. I guess is just another indication how popular that celebrity is.

One of my friends has Brian Boitano on his friends list. Being as I'm a big skating fan, I'd love to send him a request, but I'm chicken. I do have a few celebrities on my Yuwie friends list, the most famous one is Chris Daughtry. But he doesn't go to that site any more.

I don't have any celebrities as "friends" but I have "fanned" a few. Bands - Kill Hannah, Dashboard Confessional, 30 Seconds to Mars, AFI - Actors - Milo Ventimiglia, Jackson Rathbone.....I think that's it.

Well I guess most of us fans that is why we go to find them on facebook or twitter crimsonladybug, While many stars/celebrities has embrace technology, many I think are still not comfortable to put their lives on the internet.

You can't really add them as friends per say, but you can become a "fan" on their "fan pages". I'm a fan of only Colin Firth currently.

Some of them don't have fan pages but friends pages and you can be on their friends list.. But the majority I am sure are fan pages.. SOME are run by the stars themselves so it's pretty cool.

i dont think i have any real celebs on my fb but i do on my myspace.. it seems easier to find them on myspace or some reason and of course really easy if they are musicians.. now on twitter i do follow a couple.. most of them are boring with their tweets and not really even worth following lol

I've never followed a celebrity on facebook. I use it only to keep up with the friends and family I have scattered around this big planet. I use other mediums to keep up on entertainment and politics like the newspaper. I guess I like to keep things separate.
