Hollywood
heartthrob Hugh Jackman has apologised to fans for getting staff to
post bulletins on the social-networking internet site Twitter on his
behalf, news reports said.The new medium is supposed to be a way
for people to spontaneously communicate their everyday thoughts and
actions, but increasingly is being used by celebrities like Jackman to
fake the personal and the intimate.The actor was exposed as a fraud when a posting referred to the Sydney Opera House as the Opera Center."Having lunch on the harbor across from the Opera Center. Loving life!" the Twitter message read.It
turned out that the person keying in the message was half a world away
from Australia's biggest city and unaware that the way the locals spell
it, it's "harbour" not "harbor" and "centre" not "center.""Sometimes,
I don't always get online and type," Jackman admitted to national
broadcaster ABC. "Sometimes, I talk and someone in my office says to me
'OK what are you going to say?' and I say 'Well, I'm going down to
Sydney.' I like to say where I go and stuff like that," he said."So
I communicate that across the phone and when that got translated by
someone American in my office it came out all wrong. So it was my
communication but not my typing."Jackman didn't say whether he really did have lunch on the harbour across from the Opera House.
