The artist now has more followers than celebrities and performers such as Ashton Kutcher, Taylor Swift and Oprah Winfrey, according to statistics compiled by the social network.
Shakira’s total number of followers exceeds that of Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Barack Obama, Katie Perry, Britney Spears and Kim Kardashian, in that order.
In addition, Shakira also leads the Twitter list of most-followed Spanish-speaking celebrities.
The Colombian singer has more than 38 million fans on Facebook and her videos and tunes have had more than a billion views on YouTube.
While Twitter makes for an essential part of stardom for many celebrities, Hollywood icons like Daniel Craig don’t plan to join any social networking website because he does not want to share tit-bits about his personal life.
In fact, the James Bond star is bemused by those who post mundane details on the internet about their lives, reports dailystar.co.uk.
“I am not on Facebook and I’m not on Twitter either… ‘Woke up this morning, had an egg’? What relevance is that to anyone? Social networking? Just call each other up and go to the pub and have a drink,” he said.
“There’s some talk of a new class-system paradigm — that, in future, the world will be divided between those who ‘get’ social networking and those who don’t. I’m really not bothered,” he added.
In Bollywood, celebrities just finished celebrating Friendship Day. Earlier, the tinsel town was all praise for Priyanka Chopra’s foray into the music world on a global platform. Her industry friends like Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta, Farhan Akhtar, Riteish Deshmukh, and filmmaker Kunal Kohli wished her good luck.
