Best & Worst: Movie Star Tweeters

Nitwits and Twitpicks... Just who's worth following?

Updates

The Best

Jeremy Piven

Followers: 954,520

Tweeting several times a day, Piven keeps it real with cracks about global warming, ‘the biz’ and meeting other celebs (“Shaq just picked me up like a sack of potatoes...”), as well as a few sneaky teasers about Entourage.

No grand insights, but a great glance at a guy obviously having the time of his life, and happy to share it with his loyal fandom. Funny, too.

Typical Tweets: “Art is when u make 10 minutes seem like 8 yet I just walked out of a movie that I thoughts lasted most of my adult life.”

“On the new job voicing "Marmaduke" and it looks great! Owen Wilson, Fergie... Great cast and out in June!”

The Worst

Lindsay Lohan

Naturally, Tweeting about yourself involves a certain degree of narcissism. But, seriously, there’s a limit.

Warring with lovers, ex-lovers and even dear old dad, Lindsay isn’t afraid to air her dirty laundry in public – in fact, it’s her preferred method of cleaning.

Take the below Tweet... Lindsay, love, make a decent film and we might actually start caring again.

Typical Tweet: “Umm-OMFG! I was walking ahead of Patrick with the security guard&some guy was following me, then pulled up in his car&pointed a GUN at me!”

“I screamed and ducked. The guy started laughing and pushed the trigger. It was a fake gun. I was crying. He scared me.”

      Kevin Smith is very irritating on Twitter. After the first few pages of hearing about 'eating his wife's a*s' it gets a bit tired.

      I'm saddened by the lack of any Simon Pegg or Edgar Wright on this list...

      That's not to mention Peter Serafinowitz...who I guess could be said to have been left out because he's not exactly a movie star, but dammit he's by far the funniest person to follow on Twitter. Ever. Neil Patrick Harris is reaching towards Nathan Fillion status though...Felicia Day is great too. I just wish Joss Whedon would join up.
