Most successfully, ABC Family uses Twitter to promote the teen drama Pretty Little Liars through the use of hashtags and celebrity interactions. This study analyzes Pretty Little Liars’ use of hashtags created by the network and by actors from the show. It examines how the Pretty Little Liars’ official accounts engage fans about their opinions on the show and encourage further discussion. Fans use the network- generated hashtags within their tweets to react to particular scenes and to hopefully be noticed by managers of official show accounts.

  • Farrah Abraham Has Butt Implants? ‘Teen Mom’ Has Had ‘Significant Buttock Enhancement,’ Claims Surgeon
    Farrah Abraham Has Butt Implants? ‘Teen Mom’ Has Had ‘Significant Buttock Enhancement,’ Claims Surgeon Inquisitor.com Farrah Abraham may have recently gone under the knife. According to a new report, a plastic surgeon believes the Teen Mom star’s backside is much larger now than it was when fans first met her in 2009. In an interview with Wetpaint Entertainment on February 25, Dr. Lyle Black, a Philadelphia- area plastic surgeon who has not operated on Farrah Abraham, claims she’s “most certainly” had work done. “[Farrah Abraham] has had significant buttock enhancement. Folks, this is no ‘allergic reaction!’ Previously, her buttocks were very flat, with almost no projection — the ‘booty’ part of the booty — and little definition along the banana zone (upper thigh just under the cheek), and flatness for what should be the sexy ‘smile’ of the buttock crease (from the deep inner thigh up and outward). All of these have been addressed with some serious additional ‘volume’ placed nicely into all the right places!” As for whether he believes Farrah Abraham received injections or implants, Dr. Black said there’s no way to be sure. However, when it comes to what he would recommend for a client of his own, he went with the injections. “Buttock implants are notorious for shifting in position, getting infected, or pressing uncomfortably on nerves, both short-term and long-term. After a brief recovery period, fat injections do not have any of these potential downsides.” In other Farrah Abraham news, the Teen Mom OG trailer was recently released, and in it, her co- stars are seen reacting to her return.

Johnson, Michael Kupisk, Daniel Robaire RUN TIME: 82 mins DISTRIBUTED BY: Vertical Entertainment For additional information please contact: LA Daniel Coffey – [email protected] Emily Maroon – [email protected] NY Susan Engel – [email protected] Danielle Borelli – [email protected] ABOUT THE FILM Synopsis Two years into the pandemic, a group of friends throw an online party with a night of games, drinking and drugs. After taking an ecstasy pill, things go terribly wrong and the safety of their home becomes more terrifying than the raging chaos outside. Director’s Statement Making Safer at Home was challenging. Not just because of the technical hurdles the pandemic mandated, but because of the strange new features life had taken on in those early months of the pandemic. I found myself having unusual conversations, and realizations about myself and friends — things that only this type of stress could bring out. I noticed people making major, sometimes life changing decisions, quickly. Brake-ups, pregnancies, divorces, fights-- this instigated them all. Almost everyone I knew was caught in an indefinite cycle of every day feeling the same. And then we started working on this film. Safer at Home plays out essentially in real time, and shows what a long period of lockdown could do to a group of friends.
