I tend to blame Oprah for this, but now more than ever people want to sound like a motivational speaker and spiritual advisor on Twitter. This includes celebrities, and more recently, Will Smith's second son, Jaden Smith. Bless Jaden's heart, but many of his "philosophical" tweets couldn't buy sense even if he tried to use his daddy's black card. And now, more than ever, there is always someone trying to out "deep" someone else—especially when you're a big star. So, here's a look at all of the other people who give you something to think about on Twitter. Some celebrities are already repeat offenders looking for their third strike, while others just don't know any better. Eh, I still wish they'd all just stop trying.

La La
Username: @lala
Famous For: Transitioning from VJ to black Kardashian.
Followers: 2,925,000 +
La La is rich, pretty, and very nice, so I have nothing to offer besides the following warning: She's a celebrity with a relationship book that just dropped. Steve Harvey opened the floodgates so don't be surprised if La La's book musings get your leg a little wet. Good luck and all that, though, La La.
Chris Brown
Username: @chrisbrown
Famous For: Dancing, singing, and beating up Rih Rih.
Followers: 13,330,000 +
I never know what Chris Brown is talking about when he tries to wax poetic, but I do know that it's better than beefing with fellow singers and rappers, subtweeting your ex-girlfriend (that you beat), telling random strangers/haters to eat shit, and cursing them out via DM. So you know what? You tweet life as you see fit, Christopher Maurice. I may not agree with your incorrect usage of certain words, but as long as you're the right kind of Bobby Brown ("Don't Be Cruel" era), you're alright with me. Get well.
Lady Gaga
Username: @ladygaga
Famous For: Doing the most.
Followers: 41,030,500 +
if Lady Gaga The Pop Star is like Nobu, then Lady Gaga The Philsopher is definitely gas station sushi. But since Lady Gaga is currently obsessed with all things "high art," her poorly thought-out acts of pretension probably won't be stopping anytime soon. Enjoy the music and ignore the smell, Little Monsters.
Shia LaBeouf
Username: @thecampaignbook
Famous For: Acting and plagarism.
Followers: 103,950 +
Shia LaBeouf is your classic movie star who decides to "dig a little deeper" and shortly thereafter speaks in a way that reeks of utter bullshit. His movies are still good, though.
Tyrese
Username: @Tyrese
Famous For: Telling spell check to drop dead and becoming a NYT bestseller anyway.
Followers: 3,050,000 +
Before there was Jaden Smith saying a bunch of stupid shit as if the universe just texted him both the location to the fountain of youth and the recipe to the meaning of life, there was Tyrese. There's no way Tyrese—bka the Vision Implementer—won't take his crown back in 2014. He's the Lil' Kim to Jaden Smith's Nicki Minaj.
Pharrell
Username: @Pharrell
Famous For: Being better than most people in every single thing while never, ever aging.
Followers: 2,673,340 +
Pharrell has the playful and peaceful disposition of Kermit T. Frog combined with the talking points of Gandhi. That latter quality leaves him susceptible to refrigerator wisdom from time to time, but hell, it's Pharrell, so I'll allow it. Teach us, oh wise one.
Justin Bieber
Username: @justinbieber
Famous For: Being Mr. Egg Yo Car, Smoke Your Blunt, and Spend Top Dollar at the Brazilian Brothel.
Followers: 48,900,00 +
After being arrested on charges of drag racing and a DUI, Justin Bieber uploaded a photo that compared his current legal situation to Michael Jackson's child molestation trial. It's only a matter of time before he brings that dumb shit to Twitter.
Plies
Username: @Plies
Famous For: The best actor who's yet to grace your Redbox ordering screen.
Followers: 514,100 +
As the child of a nurse, I realize that nurses will indeed go to the trunk if need be. Nevertheless, if you've ever worked in a health clinic, nursery, or ER, there's only so much goon you carry with you on a daily basis. But if you enjoy hood philosophy from the one percent live tweeting from a gated community, Plies is your man.
Azealia Banks
Username: @AzealiaBanks
Famous For: Making sure your face hits the palm of your hand at least once a month.
Followers: 369,700 +
I love Azealia Banks as an artist, but her social media accounts need to be handed over to a label publicist born in the 1950s, or better yet, the 1850s. From dissing Pharrell to her very poorly informed outlook on race and culture, the Harlem bred emcee has got to learn to limit her fire for the studio. That is, until she reads a couple dozen history books and learns to relax, relate, release.
Trick Daddy
Username: @305MAYOR
Famous For: Ghetto wisdom.
Followers: 93,170 +
Trick Daddy's Twitter timeline is basically themed around the idea of giving your hood uncle a little E&J, a pork chop sandwich and a blunt and asking him to talk about the world once he's finished. Our advice: FOLLOW. HIM. NOW.
