Bipasha abandons Twitterland following criticism.
Star leaves social networking site after being criticised for uploading images that appear to promote child labour After the initial euphoria, some bollywood stars have realised that getting up close and personal with their fans via Twitter is not always the best idea. So what are they doing? They've decided to skip the virtual world and are going back to their ivory towers.
Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan have done it and now it's Bipasha Basu's turn. The reason? The glamour gal was criticised for posting a picture of two young girls tying her shoe laces. After the media broadcast the image, Bipasha clarified that the two girls were actually her sister and her friend, but her followers accused her of supporting child labour.And if your are wondering what prompted KJo and SRK to desert Twitter, then let me remind you of the fiasco known as My Name is Khan. The two have still not recovered from the cyber outrage they had to face from their fans for that major flop. So, now you know why they are staying away from social networking.

Teen cancels Facebook party with 200,000 'guests'
Party with 200,000 'guests'
Amazing & Interesting
SYDNEY: An Australian schoolgirl had to cancel her 16th birthday party after her Facebook invitation went viral and close to 200,000 people said they would turn up at her house, reports said Tuesday.
The Sydney girl had wanted her schoolmates to attend, and the post -- which included her address -- said they could bring friends if they let her know, Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspaper reported.
"(It's an) open house party as long as it doesn't get out of hand," she wrote, adding that she had not had time to invite everyone individually.
But within 24 hours more than 20,000 people had replied to the public event to say they were attending and by Tuesday almost 200,000 potential partygoers had reportedly accepted the invitation.
The girl's father, who asked not to be named, said his daughter had invited "a few friends" over Facebook but had initially been unaware of the settings required to stop strangers from viewing the information.
"She was just anxious about whether anyone would show up to her birthday," he told the Telegraph.
Police said it appeared the girl's original post had been reposted by an "unknown person" and this had gone viral, as they warned of the dangers of advertising parties on social networking sites.
"The father has given us an undertaking that he will have the Facebook page removed and the party will definitely not be going on," police Inspector Terry Dalton told ABC Radio. "There will be no party at that address.
"The only thing that anybody who turns up on that street will be met by will be some police vehicles patrolling the area."
In 2008, then 16-year-old Corey Worthington attracted global attention when he threw a wild party while his parents were away, after making an open invitation on his MySpace page.
About 500 people turned up to his two-storey home in Melbourne, and in the ensuing hours police called in the air wing and the dog squad to help subdue revellers.
