Elon Musk Is the Most Followed Person on Twitter
Elon Musk is now the most followed person on Twitter with 133.088 million followers. But maybe take that with a grain of salt considering he literally OWNS the platform. The top spot was previously held by Barack Obama with 133.042 million. In related news, Elon’s #1 fan Catturd turned on him. Catturd is an anonymous Florida man whose account is a photo of a cat wearing glasses, and he has 1.6 million followers. He’s known for posting a lot of MAGA stuff, too. Well, Catturd is pretty upset with the changes to Twitter, like too many ads, paying for his verified account status, and getting temporarily banned. Users are making jokes about it. Here are a few of the comments: “Elon Musk losing Catturd is the funniest thing.” “Looks like the honeymoon is over between Elon Musk and Catturd. What a shame. Who will get Twitter in the divorce?” “Curious to see what’s next for Catturd’s Rasputin-like hold on Elon now that Catturd is turning on him.”
Gwyneth Paltrow Won Her Ski Crash Trial and Was Awarded $1
Gwyneth Paltrow won her ski crash trial yesterday after eight days of testimony in Utah. She was awarded her “symbolic” $1 in damages. Gwyneth said in a statement, quote, “I felt that acquiescing to a false claim compromised my integrity. I am pleased with the outcome . . . “I appreciate all of the hard work of Judge Holmberg and the jury, and thank them for their thoughtfulness in handling this case.”
Terry Sanderson, who was suing her for over $3 million, said she told him, quote, “I wish you well” after the verdict . . . which he thought was very kind. He also told “Extra“, quote, “You get some assumed credibility from being a famous person. Who wants to take on a celebrity? No wonder I hesitated. It’s difficult . . . “I believe she thinks she has the truth, but I absolutely know I said I would not bring any falsehoods.”
Ace Frehley Says He’ll Destroy Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons Unless He Gets an Apology
Paul Stanley recently took a shot at his former KISS bandmates Ace Frehley and Peter Criss. He was asked why they didn’t play with the band for their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. And Paul said that if they did, it would have sounded more like PISS. Well, Ace isn’t having that. He’s giving Paul ONE WEEK to issue a public apology. And if he doesn’t, Ace is going to RUIN both Paul and Gene Simmons. Ace says he has 120 pages worth of dirt on them, and he’ll go public with it. Quote, “Those guys aren’t squeaky clean. You know how many lawsuits girls have had against Gene?” (These guys have had their ups and downs with each other over the years, but has it ever gotten THIS serious? I’m interested to see where this goes.) KISS has added four new dates to their farewell tour. Including one here in Saint Louis on October 25th.
