Many celebs on Twitter could benefit from a Phonics book; and, through this “social network,” one celeb or another will single-handedly ruin his/her career daily due to lack of discretion. Check out a few celebs who are giving publicists everywhere hope for a brighter tomorrow.

1) Kanye West

I’m actually a Kanye fan, hence I follow him.  But he is hacking away at his image with the press of a little blue button.  His Twitter tantrums are amusing; his art pics are introspective and insightful, but his Twitter tantrums are more annoying than amusing.

Classic Tweet: “I don’t trust anybody.  Everyone has an agenda.”

2) 50 Cent

When 50 Cent first joined the baby blue bandwagon, I questioned my sanity for a second.  At times he’s funny, but for the most part he is extremely random and weird.  50 Cent would start beef with the Pope if he believed it would get him more followers and record sales.  Don’t get me started on his grammar, but I guess grammar’s not all that important when your Twit Pics include stacks of money.  On the bright side: “Oprah” is the funniest sidekick since Andy Richter.

Classic Tweet:  “Man when I figure out how to use the spell-check on this mother f**ker you ni**as in trouble.”

3) Monica

Monica became quite the drama queen after quitting Twitter and making a re-appearance a short time later.  Fueled by backlash about her breakup with Rocko and romance with Shannon Brown, Monica didn’t hesitate for a second to remind her fans how highly blessed and favored she was and how great her kids were doing in school.  She manages to keep it positive, but how many times can you subliminally tweet about those who have wronged you?  Lovely  girl, but I’m going to need Mo to take a class in Discretion 101.

Classic Tweet: “Someone said gossip is like the devil’s radio.  We must change the station. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying life since I decided to do  that :)”

4) Tyra Banks

I guess what bothers me most about Ms.Banks is that she only tweets about three things: Top Model, cellulite and smizing.  Tyra’s tweets are about as bubbly as a Bubble Yum factory and I am still undecided as to whether that is a good or bad thing.  On the plus side (er, no pun on “plus” side), she shows her fans much love and appreciation.

Classic Tweet:  “Wave ya hands in the air if ya got dimples in ya rear! Or anywhere else. Boys, u can participate too!  Who has ‘IT’?”

5) Marques Houston

Although it was years ago when the premiere of an Immature video got my heart racing,  I instantly gave the side-eye to Houston’s shout-outs to random celebrities and his endless begging asking for them to follow him.  Let’s not forget about the random comments about his bathroom behavior and that weirdo “cool on the toilet with sunglasses” Twitpic.  Not so Hot after all…

Classic Tweet:  “Can I get a ‘GO HOME ROGER’ please? lol” [smdh!]

6) The Kardashian Klan

If your Twitter timeline is filled with shameless self-promotion or constant court-side play-by-plays of one game or another then you are probably following one of the Kardashians.  Most of the time, the sisters remind their followers to watch something on the E! network that they’ve produced, but at least you’ll get some Twitpics of some great shoes.  Maybe that “digital death”  thing wasn’t the worst idea…

Classic Tweet:  “EWW I’m at lunch, the woman at the table next 2 me is breast feeding her baby  w no coverup then puts the baby on the table and changes her diaper” (via Kim Kardashian)

7) Keyshia Cole

Birds of a feather tweet together, and Monica’s bestie is no exception.  Keyshia in fact uses a tad bit more discretion with only a few twit pics of her son Daniel Gibson Jr., lovingly referred to as “Stink.”  But between the incessant re-tweeting of fans’ endless praises and the p.d.a. tweets between her and her Cleveland Cavalier’s guard fiance’ Daniel Gibson, I’m almost tempted to tweet, “Yayy Keyshia.  You got a man, now can we discuss some other things like that questionable  “I Ain’t Thru” single?  (By the way, Does Frankie have a Twitter?)”

Classic Tweet:  “My baby @1BooByD Gibson is so good to me.”

8) The Game

Do you need a daily dose of random celebrity beef and an exchange of piercing insults with a pinch of R- rated material?  Then you should be following rapper, The Game’s twitter.  In one year the Compton rapper has managed to take shots at Kat Stacks, Christina Milian and Tila Tequila.  Oh, and let’s not forget his clever commentary addressing homophobia. The Game is one of those people who has an opinion about everything, and if people actually cared, he’d be onto something.  He is great for a laugh though.

Classic Tweet: “Call me bi-polar, call me a fake blood … call my lyrics trash, I’ll TAKE IT, It dont mean Sh**. If that’s how u feel say it, ‘I LOVE IT’!!!””

9) Angela Simmons

If you’re into fashion, narcissism and endless spur-of-the-moment photo shoots, then following this hip-hop princess may not be so bad.  I just wish there were more to her tweets than just bubbly positivity and clothes.  Angela’s a sweet girl, but almost too sweet, like a saccharine overload.  In all fairness,  fashion is what she does.  But there has to be more to her life than pumps and parties…or maybe there isn’t.

Classic Tweet:  “Ok I’m a sucka for REAL love.. I admit it sheesh ♥”

10) Diddy

Diddy’s tweets are kinda like Times Square: lots of capital letters and exclamation points and filled with blatant intrusive advertisement.  Reading Diddy’s tweets sometimes make me feel like downing a Red Bull and Harlem-shaking through my day (yes, they are that intense).  I need him to understand that no matter how many times he tweets about “Last Train to Paris” it won’t make a difference in the number of passengers. Maybe if I didn’t feel like the conductor was always yelling at me, I’d be that much more thrilled to ride.

Classic Tweet: “FYI “THE TRAIN’–Is a state of MIND!!! Its a VIBE! Its a spiritual VORTEX! ITS a musical HIGH!!!!.So dont be scared! GET ON THE TRAIN Itchbay!”
