Sumlin fires pool boy for tweet?

If you are in service industry and have celebrity clients, you keep your mouth shut. He learned a good lesson hopefully. You don't see many other pool boys or lawn guys or limo drivers tweeting about their clients do you? There's a reason.

Exactly. Instead, they sell their info covertly to TMZ or the Enquirer or [insert name of gossip mag/tv show here] and hope their celebrity boss doesn't link the info released/leaked directly back to them, because then it will quickly be time to look for another job, likely with a boss who comes nowhere close to being a celebrity and significantly less pay/benefits.

Most of the stuff 'leaked' to those sites are by a publicity agent trying to drum up some buzz for their client.

7-Elevens need more Slurpee machine operators or pizza and Doritos loaded chefs.

lol gotta love the SMU "let them eat cake" attitude.

Ridiculous that anyone would get fired for that tweet.

What? That's not a let them eat cake attitude at all. Its called being a professional and the pool boy failed miserably.

If I caught a person working at my house tweeting about what I was doing at my home you better believe he is canned.

Of course it is - and the rest? Collected through good, solid reporting skills by those highly educated journalists who have "inside" sources...that they are willing to pay good money for good dirt.

You get a lot more customers if you keep your trap shut, at least until the divorce subpoena comes in the mail.
