Headline: Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj, and Lady Gaga's Fan Armies Rally on Twitter

Quote:They’ve attacked Kelly Osbourne, ganged up on Piers Morgan, and made off-color jokes about a member of the Black Keys. No celebrity is off-limits: They’ve gone after Twilight princess Kristen Stewart, crooner Chris Brown, and singer Christina Aguilera. When it comes to rivalries, there are few fiercer than that of the fans of boy bands. Say something bad about One Direction, and the Directioners will cut you.

The celebrity fan base, once something to admire, is now something to be feared. These so-called fan armies rally around their favorite artists, and step up to the plate to defend them in vicious online feuds.

From Justin Bieber’s Beliebers and Nicki Minaj’s Barbz and Kenz to Haley Reinhart’s Haliens, fan armies have the ability to wreak havoc on Twitter with a single hashtag.

Wish she would have mentioned that Haliens take the prize for most well behaved...most of the time.

That's surprising - I'm not on Twitter much at all, but - I thought all most Twitter Haliens did was trend her name and talk about not wanting to go to school.

Same as you Nug, not on it much. I loved that Haley's Haliens got the mention in the article, but nothing more was said about them. It seems Haliens qualified, and this is my take, because of the power of fan bases on Twitter to instantly create some type of info moment. The trending thing for Haley is maybe where this is coming from? To be recognized as a force for Haley in the midst of these other celebrities is good...now if we could only get the Halien Army to all buy at least one album.

Haliens are well-rounded, mild-mannered, even-tempered, most of the time yes we are. but quick to defend the Hales.

Haliens are a good bunch. The trend might have played a part. Plus it's a catchy name.

What's nice about this mention is Haley was placed among those other celebrities without the words "American Idol" being uttered.

They knew that would raise the wrath of the Haliens!

It's not just twitter, the blogosphere and forums are defended by Haliens as well.

Hales will gain more followers One at a time

What did we do? The last trend we did was "So Proud Of Haley Reinhart" a few days ago for her 2 years.

I've seen a few Twitter rampages (which, by the way, totally turned me off), but I'd say, overall, Haliens on Twitter are a pretty laid back bunch. To be perfectly honest, I have drawn away from Twitter of late, mainly leaving on the notification function for Haley Tweets. I no longer go on for daily updates.

Overall, I'd say it's kinda cool that Haley was mentioned in this article--after all, any press is good press.
