If I posted a picture of a Snickers bar on Twitter nothing would happen, so why should it to them just because they're celebrities? It's just ludicrous.
Because they're (apparently) being paid to deceptively endorse/advertise products - the alleged "opinions" are "marketing communications", which, if not declared, are illegal - in 2010 the OFT successfully took enforcement action against a PR agency for paying bloggers to write and tweet about products
