Are your kids fascinated by the smallest bit of trivia about their favorite television show? Does hearing that one of the stars of that show had their favorite cereal for breakfast make them so excited they can barely contain themselves?
If so, you can have them thinking you are just the coolest mom around by casually mentioning a few bits of the newest trivia while you are catching up on your morning news online. All you need to do to find out what is new with the stars of that beloved show is a Twitter account.
Yup. Stars tweet just like moms, dads and business people. And younger stars are a lot more likely to tweet about their personal details, like what CD they are listening to or what snack they’re gobbling down, than older stars. That means you will be able to casually drop the news that Emily Osment and Miley Cyrus are planning their 18th birthday party together or that Joe Jonas was embarrassed to find out that he was being photographed by paparazzi when he was grabbing a snack.
So how do you find the stars of your child’s favorite show so you can follow them on Twitter?
Sometimes, you can search for the stars’ names and will be lucky enough to find them tweeting under that name as a verified account. Other times, they aren’t so easy to find because a fan grabbed that name first. You have to do a bit of detective work to find them. Still other times, the stars just aren’t into tweeting and twittering through their days. To find out what is going on with them, you might need to find a writer, producer, or television show page that mentions them.
There’s also another way to find stars on Twitter. Just read this week’s series of posts on “The Stars of ___ on Twitter” and follow away.
Today, we’re going to follow the stars of iCarly. Ready?
- We’ll start with Producer Dan Schneider, who tweets all kinds of cool details about the show. You can find him as @DanWarp.
- The show itself is on @iCarly. I don’t actually follow the show, though.
- I follow Miranda Cosgrove, who plays Carly on @MirandaBuzz
- JennetteMccurdy, who plays Sam on @JennetteMccurdy
- Nathan Kress, who plays Freddie on @BruinDude92
- Noah Munck, who plays Gibby on @munckytown
- Reed Alexander who plays Nevel on @reedalexander
- Jerry Trainor, who plays Spencer on @JerryTrainor
Don’t forget to come back over the next few days to catch the rest of this four part series! (And don’t forget to let me know if there is another television show you’d really like to follow on twitter. I’ll do my best to dig up any of the stars who tweet!)
