Okay, we finally admit it: Justin Bieber is more popular than we are.
The artist achieved a long-awaited goal last week, 25 million Twitter followers, actually blowing past the mark by a few thousand and thanking his fans in the process.
“25 sittin on 25 mill #drakelyrics #motto,” Biebs said to his Beliebers.

If you thought Tweeting birthday wishes to Rihanna was the most talked-about thing Chris Brown would do all day on social media, you thought wrong!
WWE heavyweight champion CM Punk and the hot-tempered R&B singer have been going at it on Twitter. It’s safe to say you could call punk a “hater.”
Punk randomly tweeted that he wants to “curb stomp” Brown at an upcoming WWE event, so Brown can “fight somebody that can defend themselves.”
Brown caught wind of the tweet … and decided to fire back.
He wrote: “@CMpunk needs more followers. Such a leader! Not to mention the roids hes on has made it

Should Ryan Gosling be the Sexist Man Alive instead of Bradley Cooper?
Protesters from celebrity gossip / social media site BuzzFeed demonstrated on behalf of that cause yesterday, picketing outside People magazine headquarters.

They’ve also started a Pro-Gosling People Magazine Protest on Facebook. Clearly the man can make a strong case, but no love for Cooper? C’mon, he’s no slouch.

After taking a beating at the hands of Facebook and others, Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. has just agreed to sell the floundering social site, MySpace to Specific Media for just $35-million.
News Corp. bought the ailing, Santa Monica-based social hub in 2005 for $580-million and its value climbed to $1-billion+ during the birth of the social media boom. But flagrant mismanagement meant they lost ground to Facebook and it never came back.
By comparison, Facebook is now valued at $65-billion.
Those close to the deal say News Corp were initially seeking a price closer to $100-million but settled
