Madonna is on Twitter: @therealmadge

I'm pretty sure Madonna tweeted for the first time today as @therealmadge.
The evidence:
- @guyoseary is for sure Guy Oseary, Madonna's manager.
- @jesusluz15 is for sure Jesus Luz, confirmed from Guy's Twitter account
- @therealmadge, created about two-ish weeks ago has been low on activity, and only follows a few people, among them Guy Oseary.
While it could be fake, it lacks certain things common to fake accounts:
- Most fake accounts have tons of activity, either in the form of satire, or obvious, commonly known quotes/lyrics/favorite foods. @therealmadge account has been all but silent for two weeks.
- Most fake accounts follow a bunch of people, in order to earn back return followers and gain an audience for their "crazy" account.
While it seems real, there are a couple of things that keep me from totally believing:
- @guyoseary hasn't declared it legit. (Though he's barely been tweeting since returning from the tour. Maybe he's just busy?)
- It's called @therealmadge. We've really only heard the tabloids call her "Madge."
Anyway, in general, I think it's real. The timing of activity/lack of activity coincides with returning from tour, and nothing said is too outrageous. If it's fake, it's done by a very delicate, subtle fakester.
