Some top names in TV to follow on Twitter

Twitter

While most of us would like to think that Twitter is the darling microblogging platform for techies the fact is that it has become very popular in the entertainment industry, and especially in television land. However just like every other demographic that uses Twitter it can be difficult to find the right people to follow.

To help us navigate this foreign territory The Wrap has published a list of the 50 best people in the television industry to follow on Twitter. You can see the complete list on their site but I have picked out my top choices from the list that I`d be interested in following – just to give you a sample of the complete list.

@shawnryan TV – Shawn Ryan, the man behind The Shield and the new hit Lie To Me

@sutterink – Kurt Sutter – responsible for some very blunt talk on Twitter as well as being behind the show Sons of Anarchy

@nealbaer – Neal Baer likes to send some scoops right from the set of Law & Order: SVU

@harthanson – Hart Hanson likes to talk about his hit show Bones with fans

@RyanSeacrest – Ryan Seacrest – ignoring the whole American Idol thing word is that Ryan is pretty plugged in and love to share breaking entertainment news as he hears it.

There`s a whole bunch more folk in the list so make sure you drop by and check it out. Who knows maybe you`ll find someone you want to follow.

Boyzone’s Stephen Gately Dead at 33

stephen gately

Irish singer and actor Stephen Gately, who along with Ronan Keating was one of two lead singers in the boy band Boyzone, has been found dead in Majorca at the age of 33.

An official statement on Boyzone’s website said that Stephen Gately had “tragically died” and that the band would be flying out to Majorca on Sunday. The statement also said that Gately had been on holiday with his long-term partner Andy Cowles when he died on Saturday.

The News of the World reported that Gately had gone out for drinks, returned to his accommodation and gone to sleep, but never woke up.

Gately had a Top 10 solo album in 2000, after the band’s initial breakup. Gately went on to appear variously in stage productions and on television programs as well recording further solo material. In 2008 he rejoined his bandmates as Boyzone reformed for a series of concerts and recordings.

The cause of death is unknown at this time.
