You know it’s going to be a good Friday when there’s a new episode of ‘Ask Amy.’ This time, our cuter-than-cute hostess, Amy Poehler, takes us to a very sweet "after school special" kind of place and says some rather poignant things about how to say goodbye to a chapter of your life that’s coming to a close.

AP isn’t saying goodbye to anything herself -- although she may need to say hello to a desk lamp here -- she’s just being all wisdomous about life to help one of her viewers.

It’s hard to believe that Twitter has been around for seven years. It’s also hard to believe that we have so much seemingly close access to celebrities because of it. (Even though Tina Fey still refuses to join. Hmph.)

But even celebs' first tweets – like those first baby steps we all take – were every bit as awkward as the rest of our “Just figuring this Twitter thing out” missives.

So, in honor of Twitter’s seventh birthday, we found seven awkward first tweets from celebrities for your enjoyment.

We all -- well, those of us who are nearing AARP status or are way into retro -- remember the shiny, happy Belinda Carlisle of the Go-Go's and their ‘We Got the Beat’ genre of layered, fluorescent pop candy. So it might surprise you to hear that B-Carl admits, without irony, that she may have been the Lindsay Lohan of her time.

So where are the pics of her stumbling around and getting into car accidents?

Ohhhh. Wait. It was the '80s. Back when we didn’t have smartphones and celebrities still had a little mystery to them.

We read Us Weekly, OK!, Star, Life & Style and In Touch this week — so you didn’t have to. Feel free to thank us later.

This week, we learned Kate Middleton is craving sugary foods, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux were secretly married (and then replaced with Folgers crystals), Blake Shelton made Miranda Lambert have a showdown, Khloe Kardashian-Odom was rejected by her real father, and all kinds of other really real stuff you’d have to read to believe.

We all know that Justin Bieber is super famous. Derp. So it’s safe to say that wherever he goes, he attracts hordes of screaming -- and not always the most mature or in control of their faculties -- fans.

Ergo, it’s a bit of a mystery that a swanky Paris hotel that's accustomed to hosting celebrities wouldn't be prepared for an onslaught of Beliebers when Justin's team booked seven suites on two floors of the establishment. But that's what happened.

Bieber came. The fans came. There was noise. There were crowds. Other people who paid beaucoup bucks to stay at the hotel were annoyed.

That's when the Biebs either left or was asked to leave the hotel. The jury is out. And ... so is he.
