how do you know if the celebrity myspace, facebook,or twitter is actually them?
I was wondering cause i looked up trevor ariza on twitter and multiple accounts saying it was the official twitter page came up.
I heard on the news there is a site you can check. does anybody know that site
Twitter launched the first phase of its Verified Accounts program moments ago, meaning that celebrities, musicians, athletes, actors, public officials and public agencies on the service can now display a “verified account” button on their Twitter pages.
For instance, visiting Twitter.com/mashable, you’ll see that I am indeed the real Pete Cashmore. Likewise, Twitter (Twitter) celebrities like Ashton Kutcher and Oprah now carry the button. Those wishing to apply for verified status can visit the verified accounts help page, which explains:
With this feature, you can easily see which accounts we know are ‘real’ and authentic. That means we’ve been in contact with the person or entity the account is representing and verified that it is approved. (This does not mean we have verified who, exactly, is writing the tweets.)
This also does not mean that accounts without the ‘Verified Account’ badge are fake. The vast majority of accounts on the system are not impersonators, and we don’t have the ability to check 100% of them. For now, we’ve only verified a handful of accounts to help with cases of mistaken identity or impersonation.
The feature has been a long time coming, and many celebrities will jump on the opportunity to prove their legitimacy. It’ll also solve the entrenched problem of celebrity impersonations, which are confusing for users and unwelcome by those being impersonated. Businesses, however, will have to wait: the feature has not been rolled out to corporate entities yet.

A lot of celebrities will take pictures with their myspace/facebook number written on a piece of paper..
Some of them make videos saying it's their real myspace/facebook
Other than that I guess you really don't know unless they say it or there is proof.
