The Fake Belieber Epidemic: Why Justin, Gaga, and Rihanna Don’t Have as Many Twitter Followers as You Think

Or is he?
With 38 million Twitter followers, the Biebs leads the likes of popular celeb tweeters Lady Gaga and Katy Perry (36 million apiece), Rihanna (29 million), and Kim Kardashian (18 million). But those staggering numbers are not what they seem. In fact, many celebrity Twitter followers and Facebook "Likes" are just plain fake.
