Singer/songwriter Keri Hilson offended and upset her 1.4 million Twitter.com followers yesterday when she displayed amazing insensitivity about the passing of British chanteuse Amy Winehouse.

On July 23 — the day Winehouse died of a drug overdose — Hilson tweeted:

Shocked Winehouse fans took offense at the words “self destructive state.” Even though it was true, they thought it was too soon.

Then last night, the singer tweeted a pic of herself posing with a drag queen along with the caption:

*gasp* Amy Winehouse resurrected to party w/ me!!!

Winehouse’s fans, who were still in mourning, didn’t find the joke funny at all. They accused Hilson of pulling a stunt by using Winehouse’s untimely death to draw attention to herself.

Keri tried to clean it up a few moments later by tweeting:

But the damage had already been done. Fans of Winehouse let Hilson have it in a deluge of angry tweets last night on the social networking website.

Do you get tired of celebrities acting out on Twitter like overgrown children with no impulse control?
