Celebrities will often say "I'm just like you, I put my pants on one leg at a time." They do put their pants on one leg at a time, but their pants cost about $2,000 more than your pants and they were given them for free. But just like you and I, celebs are not above being hacked.
 Not long ago, I told you about famous people jumping on the Twitter bandwagon. The likes of MC Hammer, Shaq, and Luke Wilson were telling everyone about their lives in the form of 140 character updates.
Just like the Sidekick and MySpace, Twitter is not hacker-proof. Just ask Britney Spears. Go ahead ask her.
If you asked Ms. Spears anything over the weekend through her Twitter account, the answers you were getting were not coming from the pop star but from a hacker. Sorry.
Brit Brit was not the only victim. Not so famous people like CNN's Rick Sanchez and Fox News were also targets.
A guy by the name of Barack Obama was also hacked. Where's the Secret Service when you need them?
