I think the real draw for following celebs on twitter is not that it isn't broadcast, but the idea that it's a more "unfiltered" broadcast; that it's more likely you're getting an off-the-cuff remark straight from the actual celebrity instead of a scripted press clipping from their PR flacks. At least, that's the illusion. And while there are plenty of "managed" accounts run by paid "ghost tweeters", there have also been enough embarrassing deleted tweets to show that at least some remarks are coming straight from the horse's mouth.
