My celeb following girlfriend just passed on this news to me.
First, it was the college sports. Next was the NBA. Most recently, it was the NFL.

Add Hollywood to the list of groups that are imposing social media bans on their actors. With famous personalities breaking stories via their Twitter streams, Hollywood producers are asking celebs to sign contracts banning use of social media tools in multiple capacities.. Of note is this clause from Disney:

"includes a new clause forbidding confidentiality breaches via "interactive media such as Facebook, Twitter, or any other interactive social network or personal blog."

It'll be interesting to see how many upcoming productions will include this clause. Think about all of the award shows, sitcom pilots, entertainment shows, reality TV, etc.
