Tough call, here. Plenty of slebs update their Twitters in five-minute spurts. But it’s the quality that counts, and Ed Norton (always a TF fave) is nothing if not a purveyor of quality over quantity.
Keeping us informed of his charity work (so far he’s raised $1m by running the NY marathon in support of Kenya’s Maasai tribe), television appearances, competitions and the requisite intriguing links (he’s a fan of optical illusions), Norton’s also not above a few fan shout-outs.
Top fella.
Typical Tweets: “Waiting to go on at Larry King. Here to promote the Obama doc I produced that's coming out on HBO.”
“Just did Alexa Chung's show. She asked if it's really me on Twitter. C'mon.....of course. You ever seen me fake it?”
“saw Heath's final performance last night and wow what an artist...”

Only two tweets in four months – characteristically distant for the so-called manic pixie dream girl. Nothing about (500) Days, nor her unproduced script Circus Girl, nor her fan-love for Parker Posey.
Not even a few random pixie dream girl ponderings to light up our dreary, wintry computer screens. Campaign Get Zooey Back On Twitter starts here.
Typical Tweets: “I hemmed. I hawed. I joined twitter. Alas. Reason? I saw "The Cove" this weekend and it blew my mind. Everyone should see this movie. -zd”
“happy thanksgiving! may I recommend this excellent book on intuition as a delightful holiday read: www.tinyurl.com/LauraDayWidget - zooey d”

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.
