Do You Twitter?

Photobucket
Are you on Twitter? I entered into the Twitter-nation reluctantly, but it was a great way to send updates during The Grammy's and I learned to like it. At the most basic level it's like Facebook status updates on crack. Certainly I haven't learned all of the ins and outs of Twitter, but I really like the idea of being able to follow different celebs, so I've been trying to make it a part of my day.

After adding about every celeb on Twitter I sat back and started to watch the updates come in. What I found was shocking. I know I shouldn't have been shocked, but I was. Fist of all, I can't believe how many of them NEVER sleep. Mariah Carey goes to bed at like 6am, Ashton Kutcher is always updating in the middle of the night. I've also been dismayed to realize that alot of them are....really dumb.

By far the worst Twitter offender is P. Diddy. Here is a sample of some of his recent Twitter updates:

I will be great today!!! And so will you!!! Let's go people!!!!!

On your mark Get set Let's go people!!!!!!

Ok people we are gonna effect the universe rt now!!! Call 3 people you love and tell them you love them!!!! I love u u an u!!! Let's go!!!

THE DIDDY CODE!!! "When you are chasing your dream leave your ego at home!!!" (Oh yeah, RIGHT! I don't believe this from him. Not for a minute!)

I aint gonna lie. Yall gonna have helped me get my swag back!!!! Thank you people! Puff daddy is BACK! It feels good to be back!!!

@iamdiddy is all about inspiring us to be the best we can be. Is it just me or is this annoying as hell?

I don't need inspirational thoughts from a C-list rapper. I prefer my Twitter light. Lovin' Rob Corddry's Twitter updates:

Oh crap. That drug deal just went REALLY wrong. Now I have to cut up a body. Great way to start a weekend!

I do not like the new iPod Shuffle. I'm going to buy it just so I can punch it in the face.

Well that was an eye-stabbing conference call! Off to go rinse the corporate-speak out of my mouth!

Putting an infant to sleep is hard, unless you have "Jingle Bells" sung using only "shhh" in your repertoire. Baby Ambien

My favorite Rob Corddry Twitter update:
Can't take it anymore!!!! Corddry out!!! Unfollow!!!! RT @iamdiddy: I will be great today!!! And so will you!!! Let's go people!!!!!

As much as I hate to admit it, I don't mind John Mayer's updates. At least he can form a complete sentence! I find Ashton & Demi's boring, but not offensive. Love Russell Brand's updates.

All in all, I still like Twitter and I'm committed to continuing to figure it out. But, I dunno.... if I were a celeb I'd be careful. If they can't say something worthwhile, maybe they should just skip it. Are you listening @emmyrossum?!

I stopped following Diddy because I couldn't handle his. I love Xzibit, Snoop and Warren G's. Ellen just got one and I like hers so far. I stopped following Shaq. OMG! Horrible! Drove me nuts. Rainn Wilson says some crazy stuff!
