• I have a pretty healthy fascination with celebrities. In fact this following story seems 100% entirely normal, dontcha think?

    I see the movie Stand by Me and really love it. I am obsessed with the main character Gordie Lachance. I want to ease his pain. Maybe a year later, I am sitting in a doctors office in Atlanta, and I am convinced that the boy sitting across from me is Gordie!

    I call my brother and insist he hits the credits on the video. This was prehistoric times, so it required me to ask the doctors office to use their phone, and my brother had to take the VHS and fast forward to the end to find out. The answer is Wil Wheaton and it’s no match on the patient list. Not too obsessive, right?

    Skip to decades later and I enter twitter preparing to conquer.. I check out the heavy users and when I see an avatar and the name @wilw .. somehow I just KNOW that it’s my Wil ! I am loving my gut instincts from way back that my crush from so long ago is now a tech geek! (and currently more of a celeb in that arena)

    Moving on…

    big heavies in the industry are popping up everyday. E V E R Y D A Y!!!

    As of today – My Twitter Hot Top Celebrities:

    1. @evanlowenstein – you know – half of the identical twin duo who sing that hit song Crazy for this Girl, and the illustrious brother of yours truly.
    2. @aplusk – Ashton kutcher – I have NEVER seen his work (except for Cheaper by the Dozen), but I love his holy tweets (lots of Kabbalah) and the work he has done with Demi ;)
    3. @mrskutcher – Demi Moore. I wish her tweets could talk, so I could hear her voice. Can I say that?
    4. @johncmayer – John Mayer – still warming up, very few replies to other tweeters, but he is 140 characters of pleasure, very clever and witty
    5. @the_real_shaq – Shaquille O’Neil – so unpretentious. The real shaq is REAL
    6. @ewanmcgregor – Ewan Mcgregor – Scottish Moulin Rouge honey. Follow me dude.
    7. @lancearmstrong – Lance Armstrong – You got to love hearing “getting the kids off to school” and then just back from a 6 hr ride – 110 miles. Very empowering!
    8. @johncleese – John Cleese – One of the leading members of Monty Python. I love me my English humour!

    New on my radar:

    1. @coldplay – Coldplay – The band. I think their music is some of the hottest stuff out there, so I expect very sharp lyrical 140 character tweets.
    2. @davejmathews – Dave Mathews – Ditto with above.

    I have some questions for you:

    Q: If you could communicate with a celebrity, who would you WANT to see?

    Q: Celebrities can now speak for themselves – will the tabloids go out of business?

    Q: Do you think the word celebrity will embrace a new definition with the lowly people able to access them SO DARN EASILY!?
