A graduate of the Snarky School of Whedon, it’s no surprise that Fillion is a Twit with a wit. Frankly, this guy has charm coming out of his bottom, and he’s happy to share it all with his legion of followers.
“It costs nothing to say something kind. Even less to shut up altogether,” says the Serenity star. True words, Mr Fillion, thank God you make those 140 characters count. We feel a mancrush blossoming.
Typical Tweets: “Had a strange hand shake last night. Reminded me that handshakes should be from two to four shakes. Thoughts?”
“Goodbye, London. You are a bitch for making me miss you. But a Lady for how I love you. But a bitch, too.”
“Is it weird that when I hugged @Alyssa_Milano today, I had to refrain from squeezing her to death a la Lenny from Of Mice And Men?”
The Worst
Kirstie Alley

Following Kirstie is sort of like acquiring an (unwanted, downright scary) insight into the kooky mental workings of your giddy Aunt Nora.
Obscenely perky, Kirstie’s apparently under the impression that her followers are actual, uh, followers - yes, welcome to the Cult of Kirstie. Cue life-bolstering messages issued with all the preachiness of a gospel sermon, but without the joyful hand-clapping (one can only assume).
Is she even trying to be funny? We can’t really tell...
Typical Tweets: “PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE...I am NOT Jonny boy's PIMP...I am simply his lover..he doesn't do tricks at the snap of my fingers....it takes CANDY”
“GOOD MORNING KNIGHTS OF THE UNIVERSE..just want to remind us that we really ARE fearless and GOODNESS DOES win out over evil..SO PERSEVERE!!”
“Have a SUPER day and GO TO THE MOVIES..so many fun ones out now..I'm going to go see OLD DOGS...me loves my Jonny T....stay warm!”

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.
