Still
in the chair ... Joel Madden on The Voice
Joel Madden causes Twitter panic with a
single word.
Good Charlotte frontman, The
Voice judge and adopted Australian Joel Madden caused a minor panic
among his fans - and confusion for his bosses at Nine - today by tweeting a
single word: "Sacked".
Immediately, he started getting responses from his 710,000
followers asking if that meant Madden, who is in Sydney right now preparing to
perform at the NRL grand final this weekend and the AFL footy Show this
Thursday, had lost his job on the top-rating reality series which brought him
to Australia this year.
As time passed and Madden neither responded to questions nor
posted anything else, his single enigmatic word was retweeted dozens of times
and speculation mounted.
But whatever he's been sacked from - or whatever he's talking
about - Nine was quick to assure he hasn't been (to use that infamous Nine
executive word) "boned".
"We're not sure what Joel was referring to, but it's not The Voice," A network
spokesperson said.
"He's still very much in contract negotiations [to return as a
judge on The Voice season
two] right now."
Perhaps Madden, a notorious NFL fan, was just watching football?
If so, he might want to learn the word "tackled" before
this weekend.
Update: Madden updated his
Twitter account six hours after the initial tweet to confirm he had been
referencing American Football, saying "I was talking about the NFL when I
said sacked".
