So the natural question here is: do we really need Verified Profiles on Tinder? Well, rumours say that various celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Allen, Hilary Duff or even Britney Spears, have started using the app lately. But whether or not you ever get to “Match” with one of them, that’s another story of course!

So what do you think? Useful add-on, or simple PR stunt?
