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

The Best

Jon Favreau

Yep, Fav is fave again. We just can’t get enough of the guy.

He’s one of Hollywood’s hottest properties right now thanks to Iron Man and its impending sequel, so it’s even more endearing that The Fav makes sure the fans are along for the ride every step of the way – and he’s as enthusiastic as any other true sun-phobic geek.

Typical Tweets: “Just got sent script pages. Preparing for Couples Retreat reshoots tomorrow. No rest for the weary.”

“Getting ready to film a Couples Retreat scene with my movie wife Kristen Davis.”

“Editing away in a dark room. Watching Iron Man 2 take shape. This is my favorite part of the process.”


The Worst

Ashley Tisdale

She may be 24-years-old, but Ashley’s Tweets are pure bubblegum and potpourri. Sterilised to within an inch of their life, Ashley’s updates consist either of bragging about gym attendance, or dinner with “Zachary” (we’re assuming that’s Mr Efron).

Which is all fair enough. But Tweets about filming TV series Phineas and Ferb et al are given only a cursory mention. Perhaps she senses we’re not really all that interested...

Typical Tweets: “Recording phineas and ferb. Then off to the "This Is It" premiere, soo excited to see it!”

“Loves that its raining right now! Off to rehearsal with the crew. Can't wait to get home and watch a movie next to the fireplace :)”

“Recording Family Guy....then Gym!!!”

      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.
