Speaking of Twitter, a new scoop from The New York Times has revealed that some of our favorite celebrities have hired “ghostwriters” to interact with fans on their Twitter pages.

Do you feel totally cheated?

According to The NY Times:

The rapper 50 Cent is among the legion of stars who have recently embraced Twitter to reach fans who crave near-continuous access to their lives and thoughts. On March 1, he shared this insight with the more than 200,000 people who follow him: “My ambition leads me through a tunnel that never ends.”

“He doesn’t actually use Twitter,” Mr. Romero said of 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson III, “but the energy of it is all him.”

Don’t get too discouraged, there are a few celebs talking directly to you when they Tweet. Take Ashton Kutcher and Lance Armstrong, for instance, or NBA star Shaquille O’Neal, who says, “If I am going to speak, it will come from me…It’s 140 characters. It’s so few characters. If you need a ghostwriter for that, I feel sorry for you.”

Well said, Shaq…
