Anything for benevolence!Teen tweeter Miley Cyrus was forced to quit Twitter because of the hate mail she was receiving following her tweet over gay marriages. Many teen hearts broke worldwide that day.Kanye West blogged about his former Twitter obsession. “I don’t have a f***ing Twitter account. Losers make accounts on Twitter.”

Needless to say, the statement won him many counter tweets by his fellow Beverly Hills tweeple. Not just Twitter, Facebook too has its share of haters in Hollywood.

They made for interesting timelines of the day.
