A single update on your Twitter or Facebook can get the attention of hundreds of people in seconds. A single mistake in posting the wrong kind of content on these social media websites may prove problematic for those posting—especially if they are public figures.

Social media websites have given people the means to share everything about themselves in just a few keystrokes.

And everything people post (i.e. photos, videos, text) will eventually reach the attention of friends in a small matter of time.

Celebrities are no exception. We are seeing more stars signing up on Facebook and/or Twitter and sharing their daily rants and raves with the world.

The drawback for celebs in maintaining a social media web page is that the public scrutinizes whatever they post.

Moreover, electronically saved data (e.g. personal videos), containing rather provocative content, may be "hacked" and shared on the Net.

We feature some PEP headlines of 2011 showing the controversial results of stars posting on social media.

If you have stories to share, feel free to post them in the COMMENTS SECTION of this page.    

Anabelle Rama's supposed Tweets targeting Nadia Montenegro. It started with a child-abuse suit filed by Nadia Montenegro against Annabelle Rama, who is the manager of Nadia's children Alyanna, 17, and Annika Asistio, 15.

Expectedly, Annabelle reacted. She tweeted posts of insults purportedly targeting Nadia. This resulted in more lawsuits against Annabelle from Nadia: libel and unjust vexation.

For her part, Annabelle defended herself by saying that she never mentioned any name in her tweets: "Ngayon, yung lahat ng mga blind item ng Twitter ko, kung sa palagay mo ikaw yun, e di ikaw yun!"

Angelica Panganiban VS. Phil Younghusband's Twitter Fan. Posts by Angelica Panganiban (@IamAngelicaP) on her Twitter page about football player Phil Younghusband's supposed appearance in an indie film sparked a heated debate with Phil's Twitter follower.  

It all started with Angelica posting:

"si phil may indie film... Akala ko ba football player sya??? :( lahat na lang artista na :( sad..."

"Sila rooney ba gumagawa ng movie? I dont think so :) mukhang busy lang sila kkpractice para laging manalo :)" (Wayne Rooney is a popular football player based in England)
