The popular singer, or rather her PR team, is active on social networks. On Bea’s personal page you can find many interesting videos, photographs and family pictures, which are updated quite quickly - with a small gap from updates on Twitter and Facebook. True, Beyoncé has much fewer subscribers on VKontakte than on Western social networks - almost 135 thousand.
Victoria Beckham
Fashionista Victoria opened a personal account on VKontakte more to promote her fashion brand VB than to communicate with fans. The page contains mainly photographs from fashion shows and pictures in which models or Beckham herself demonstrate dresses from the latest collections. The Vicky Beckham community consists of 110 thousand users.
Tom Cruise
The actor registered only recently, but about 98 thousand people have already subscribed to her page. Cruise's PR team regularly answers all questions and comments from users, albeit with a slight delay. The reason for this: the weak knowledge of the Russian language of the actor’s team, which they wrote about on the page: “Guys, we wanted to say that, unfortunately, our Russian is still not as good as it should be” (“Guys, we wanted to let you know that unfortunately, our Russian isn't what it should be"). The page is constantly updated with movie announcements and footage from movie sets. in which Cruise is involved.
Shakira
But Shakira’s team is doing better with the Russian language. Posts appear on the page in both English and Russian. The community publishes interesting content: clips, promotions, singers, regular messages and a large number of albums. You cannot leave comments on the page, only likes and posting news. The group consists of about 290 thousand people.
Kevin Costner
The actor is completely new to VKontakte - so far he only has 500 subscribers, but I think his PR team will try harder. As you know, Kevin is now more involved in music than cinema: in 2007, the actor founded the group Kevin Costner & Modern West and even tours countries and cities. According to rumors, in the near future he will come to Moscow.
Enrique Iglesias
It seems that the singer has not yet been completely forgotten. Enrique is active and corresponds with his fans in Russian and English on the social network and has already collected almost 120 thousand fans. It is possible that his girlfriend Anna Kournikova facilitates communication with Russian fans.
Sophie Alice-Bextor
The British singer is almost as popular on VKontakte as Victoria Beckham: Sophie has 107 thousand subscribers. The singer periodically posts her photos and exchanges messages with her fans.
Moby
The mysterious and talented Mobi is also among the users of VKontakte. His work can rather be classified as “not for everyone,” but this did not stop Moby from gathering 63 thousand fans in his community. There is no active activity and communication in the community, but still the page is periodically updated with interesting photographs and DJ tracks.
The Prodigy
The cult group notifies its fans on VKontakte about upcoming concerts, posting announcements, and sometimes posting photos and videos. There is no active correspondence in the community, mostly positive reviews about the group and exchange of news.
Coldplay
On the British rock band's page you will find announcements, news and competitions related to the band. Coldplay also shares photo albums with their fans, of which there are already 11 pieces. and more than 20 videos. There are 120 thousand subscribers in the group.
Social networks are used by both people and celebrities: politicians, athletes, actors, musicians and other show business figures. On official pages they post photos and share first-hand news, which pleases fans. However, some network users, for selfish purposes, create fake pages on behalf of idols or simply famous people whom they want to profit from. Here we give the addresses of the official pages of celebrities registered on VKontakte.

Sasha "Chacha" Ivanov - vocalist (since 1988) of the group Nai https://vkontakte.ru/profile.php?id=165565
Among the users of the social network Vkontakte there are many famous people - politicians, businessmen, movie stars, pop stars, theater, radio, and mass media. There are official groups where fans of celebrities communicate, and there are also their personal pages. Therefore, each user can go to the page of a particular star, write her a message in the chat or leave a message on the wall (if such a function is provided by the settings). Sometimes these are requests to perform at a particular event - but in this case it is better to act through agencies such as concert-agent.ru, because the schedule of performances for stars is compiled by their agents.
The problem is that there are a lot of celebrity clones on the Internet. And there is always confusion about which account is official for the star and famous people. How can you check that the page of your favorite musician or actor is real and not fake?
Real Star Pages
- On pages verified by the VKontakte administration, there will be a green or blue checkmark in the upper right corner. This tag has been used for a long time on Twitter and Facebook. This is the very first sign that a celebrity account is genuine;
- Checkmarks when searching for a star page are reflected in the search bar;
- On the official websites of celebrities or famous groups there is always a link, by clicking on which you can get to the page of musicians or actors on the VKontakte social network;
- During a search, the real account appears first or second in the results. There, moderation posts only those pages that have been verified, are official and real, and have several tens/hundreds of thousands of subscribers.
Shakira
The community is quite active and has a lot of content. In addition to the usual news posts that are published a couple of times a month, the group contains 16 photo albums and 91 videos of Shakira's clips and promotions. The impression of the group is slightly spoiled by the fact that the community wall is closed and you cannot leave comments on posts, you can only like and share news.
I must say that this does not particularly upset thousands of Russian fans of the singer, who take advantage of the opportunities that exist and have a blast in the comments to the photos in the albums.
Search for celebrities on a social network
A list of all the stars who have registered on VKontakte can be found very easily. To do this you need to do the following:
- You need to log into your own account;
- Open the “My Friends” section;
- Find the search string in which you need to type square brackets – . Attention! There are no quotation marks and no spaces between brackets;
- Press the search or ENTER key.
The search takes only a few minutes, after which the user will see a list of all famous people who have official pages on Vkontakte.
This way, you can find real accounts of politicians, artists or journalists in order to add their VKontakte profiles to your subscriptions.
This article was written specifically for the website. Use of the material is permitted only if there is an active link to the original.
Tom Cruise
Of course, Tom does not run these pages himself; instead, his team does it, which publishes various announcements of Tom-related events and news (for example, Cruise’s arrival in Moscow for the film premiere) - with the signature TeamTC. The realization that Tom himself is not posting photos in the group does not prevent users from communicating with the star, asking questions and leaving requests (mainly to add as friends - so far 37 lucky people have been lucky, including Pavel Durov).
It must be said that user comments do not go unanswered. However, the inability to replay a specific comment in the VKontakte group and the fact that the page is clearly not constantly monitored leads to the fact that replies “from Tom” appear late and come in batches:
RUWARD named the best digital agencies/productions in 2019!
The results of the Unified Ratings of agencies/productions for 2019 have been published:
Communication in the group (there are almost no comments on posts on the personal page) occurs only in English. To justify themselves, Tom’s team left a special message “Guys, we wanted to let you know that unfortunately, our Russian isn’t what it should be") and suggested writing comments in English or using Google Translate. Despite this, people like to contact an American celebrity, and this, admittedly, is the most important thing in this kind of communication.
Sophie Ellis-Bextor
The British singer not only has a pleasant voice, but also a VKontakte community. Sophie's official page publishes English-language messages, photographs (two albums) and videos (currently there are 6 of them). The number of community subscribers is almost the same as Victoria Beckham’s - 107 thousand people, but the quality of comments is many times higher. In particular, users write quite sane and positive messages in English.
The Prodigy
This is how VKontakte press secretary Georgy Lobushkin commented on the emergence of the community:
Once upon a time, The Prodigy was something mythical. About the same as Santa Claus or Mickey Mouse. In May of this year, Pavel, himself a big fan of the ensemble, took us to their concert. It was an incredible show. Now we are pleased to introduce him and you to their official community on VKontakte! It's amazing!
Valeriy Meladze
For many years, the musician was considered an exemplary family man. Valery married his wife Irina back in 1989. The marriage produced three daughters. As it turned out, for ten years, Meladze lived with two families. The singer began an affair with ex-member of the VIA Gra group Albina Dzhanabaeva, who gave birth to his son in 2004. For the sake of his daughters, Valery could not admit to his wife that he had another family. And only after the birth of Albina’s second child in 2014, Meladze was able to make the final choice.
Coldplay
The equally iconic Norwegians from A-ha are not far behind the famous electronic engineers. Most recently (April 5th) they became the owners of a VKontakte page. So far, there are only two posts in English in the community (welcome news and a post congratulating the winners of the photo competition), which did not stop 959 users from subscribing. Also on the page there are 4 albums with photographs.
This is interesting: How to Extend Nails at Home with Gel
By the way, the A-ha PR team also maintains a VK page for the band’s vocalist Morten Harket, so fans can “talk” with him.
As we see, more and more foreign stars (and not only from the music industry) are paying attention to the Russian social network as a promotion tool. Considering the fact that many of our fellow citizens love Western celebrities much more than “homegrown” ones, we can expect an increase in Western expansion. Which foreign stars do you personally miss on VKontakte?
Eros Ramazzotti
The sweet-voiced Italian has been an active user of VKontakte, where he has a personal page and an official community, since February 2012. Eros has a small number of subscribers so far (6,359 in the community and 400 on his personal page), but he has 17 friends. By what criteria they were selected, however, it is not clear, but still there is a warm, lamp-like feeling of communicating with a real living person, and not a robot whose task is to publish news.
By the way, Eros Ramazzotti (or his PR manager, more likely) understood the public settings so well that he created separate events for his concerts in Moscow and St. Petersburg as part of the 2013 world tour.
However, just as in the cases with other star groups, the main communication between subscribers occurs in the comments to photos in albums, where users of different ages (mostly school age) practice their wit.
A distinctive feature of the community is the presence of a contact for the singer’s PR manager named Anamaria Hancu, which will certainly make the task easier for wealthy VKontakte users who want to invite the Romanian beauty to perform at a family holiday or corporate event.
Groups
This is the end of the single stars, and it’s time to see what kind of musical groups can be found in the vastness of VK.
Victoria Beckham
The former member of the Spice Girls and wife of football player David Beckham has been closely involved in fashion for a long time. To promote our own fashion brand, a VK community was organized. Its main content consists of photos and videos depicting Victoria’s new designer clothes, which both she and various models try on.
In this community, comments are allowed, but this somehow does not contribute to a particular depth of discussion - mostly spammers and trolls of varying degrees of thickness communicate in the comments. In total, the community of the former peppercorn consists of almost 110 thousand people.
Enrique Iglesias
In December 2012, the famous singer announced on his Twitter the launch of a VK community named after himself. At first, the messages were published in English, but just the other day Enrique started speaking Russian.
As you can see, the ability to leave comments is also disabled. However, this did not stop the singer’s 120 thousand fans from joining the community. In addition, similar to the Shakira community, subscribers can comment on photos in albums, but nothing interesting happens there.
