When future generations look back on 2011, they’re going to consult celebrities’ Twitter archives to see what we were all about. After you recover from that horrifying thought, take a look at who might be worth following into 2012.
Tweeter: Alec
Baldwin
Tweet: “Flight attendant on American reamed me out 4
playing WORDS W FRIENDS while we sat at the gate, not moving. #nowonderamericaairisbankrupt”
Follow: Yes. With the caveat that Mr. Donaghy has since deactivated his Twitter. But the
smart money is on him returning sooner rather than later.
Tweeter: Charlie
Sheen
Tweet: “Winning..!Choose Your Vice...#winning
#chooseyourvice”—his first tweet.
Follow: No. What started as an amusing train wreck has basically become thinly veiled
self-promotion for one-man shows in Detroit.
Tweeter: Steve
Martin
Tweet: “Waiting by phone for Sexiest Man Alive
announcement.”
Follow: Yes. The wild and crazy guy doesn’t even need all 140 characters to send out
premium sarcasm on a daily basis.
Tweeter: Anthony
Weiner
Tweet: [Censored.]
Follow: Sadly, no. The good representative has since resigned from both Congress and the
Twittersphere... for now.
Tweeter: Garry
Shandling
Tweet: “i always think about my 110,000 followers
even if none of us are tweeting. Almost had a car accident thinking about #56,878. You’re hot.”
Follow: Sure. He’s like the wisecracking, overtly pervy uncle who secretly cracks you up
at family dinners.
Tweeter: Holly
Madison
Tweet: “My heart is not the sharpest tool in the
shed. #MajorInconvenience”
Follow: Nah. Although she managed to get this metaphor right(-ish), not many of her random
shout-outs and musings are worth your time. And if you need photos, well, they’re out there.
Tweeter: Jerry
Seinfeld
Tweet: “All your facial features are on the lower
bottom half of your head. Disturbing..”
Follow: Yes—if you’re still holding out hope for a Seinfeld reunion.
Otherwise... yadda yadda yadda, you’ll find something else.
Tweeter: Metta World Peace
(aka Ron Artest)
Tweet: “Did yal know me and the guy who hit me
with the beer in Detroit are friends now? We speak all the time”
Follow: Yes. He changed his name to Metta World Peace and tweets about his psychiatrist.
This is what Twitter is for.
Tweeter: Gwyneth
Paltrow
Tweet: “Who do I have to bang to get an advance copy of
the new @coldplay album? I mean, really.”
Follow: Despite pithy TMI gems like this one, we’re going to say no. Just... no.
