Hacked E! Online Twitter Account Tweets Justin Bieber Is Gay

Don’t Belieb a word of it.

The Twitter account for E! Online was hacked Saturday by a group which quickly began spreading bogus 140-character bits of celebrity gossip to its 5 million followers.

“Exclusive: Justin Bieber to E!online: I’m a gay,” the E! Online account announced — prompting 1,200 retweets and 351 favorites.

A group billing itself as the Syrian Electronic Army claimed responsibility for the takeover. The SEA was also behind the April hijacking of The Associated Press Twitter feed.

E! suspended its Twitter account following the hack attack.

“Eonline's breaking news twitter and sms accounts were compromised today,” the organization said in a statement. “We're working to have this resolved as quickly as possible and are fully investigating the incident.

“We apologize for any confusion that the erroneous news alerts may have caused.”

The SEA sent out a flurry of tweets and breaking news messages to text subscribers revolving around Bieber coming out of the closet.

One tweet said Selena Gomez, the “Baby” singer’s on-again, off-again girlfriend, was supportive of his declaration.

Another said actress that Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie told E! that “Jordan is to blame for the Syrian refugees’ atrocious conditions.”

The cyberhackers support Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime, the Wall Street Journal reported. Their other hacking targets include Twitter accounts for “60 Minutes,” the BBC, NPR and Reuters.

Spokespeople for Bieber could not be reached Saturday, when the singer performed in Dubai as part of his international “Believe” tour.

The SEA, after hacking the AP account, claimed two explosions rocked the White House and injured President Obama. The tweet caused stocks to dip and White House spokesman Jay Carney to issue a statement saying the president was fine.

The FBI is reportedly investigating that hacking incident.
