When I think of social networking like Facebook and Twitter, the first thing that comes to mind is pre-pubescent girls blasting what they had for breakfast, or how they hate studying, or even how sexy the newest star of the newest movie featuring the newest way to show off the newest Hollywood sex symbol’s boobs…is. And even John McCain’s well endowed and very un-shy daughter Meghan.

But wait! There’s more? According to The Hollywood Reporter, celebs (yes I am hip, and with it, and I use the shortened and inherently much cooler version of the word) are being banned from using certain forms of social media, including the reigning king of narcissism; Twitter. The legal action is spurred by the various SPOILER ALERT’s being posted around town. Paula Abdul dramatically resigned from American Idol on Twitter, Ryan Seacrest spilled the beans on Twitter about NBC's former co-chairman Ben Silverman’s resignation, and Greg Grunberg nearly caused an uproar with a few choice words about the future of Heroes 4^th season (read about it all here). Needless to say, Hollywood big wigs need to keep the talent under control, and have been enacting clauses to prevent such slips of the tongue, or type. Confidentiality is usually already written into contracts, but the new social mediums demand explicit forbidding. They have effectively taken out the middleman that used to be required to spill a story, and therefore must seem all too tempting to those privy to confidential information.
