Foursquare Locates Celebs

The growing legion of foursquare users can now start following and friending celebrities via the location-based mobile service through a new pact with Viacom networks MTV and VH1.

Foursquare, which enables members to earn points by visiting businesses — and automatically alerts their friend circles of their whereabouts — is using the partnership to kick-start its new Celebrity Mode tool.

Users can begin following MTV stars such a Jersey Shore’s Pauly D., who will start letting fans know where he has traveled and share tips on his favorite locales.
