Social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter have fast become the major way of getting your message out. And the stars of the entertainment industry have not been slow to realise this.

For example, two such stars – Britney Spears and Lea Michele – are making full use of Twitter to let me people know what they are doing and what they think.

And what do they think?

Well, Lea Michele who is one of the stars of the hit musical show Glee recently tweeted about her dentist. She wrote: “Back from the dentist. Had surgery and was put under but didn’t have a Britney fantasy!”

The comment about Britney was about Britney Spears own dentist experience. The two recently became friends after the pop singer met Lea on the set of Glee.

Responding to Lea’s tweet, Britney said: “NOBODY can help make a trip to the dentist a good time….- Britney.”

The two stars continued the banter with Lea Michele eventually agreeing that while going to see the dentist is not the pleasantest experience, she did enjoy watching films played.

Playing music or getting a patient to watch a film has now grown in popularity in trying to help relax patients during treatment.

Visiting the dentist may still not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it is certainly not as frightening as it was at one time.
