Tweet of the Day
If you are a Twitterer, please follow Ashton Kutcher (@aplusk) because he's racing CNN to 1 million followers. If he wins, he's going to buy 10,000 malaria nets on World Malaria Day and ding dong ditch Ted Turner's house. (You can unfollow him after that, but he actually does post some interesting things.)
Ash crossed 900,000 today thanks to support from the PTwitty nation, Lil Kim and a YouTube video gauntlet from Larry King. CNN is currently up by about 35,000 followers.
Here's what Ashton had to say about it all:
"I feel like I'm running for class president. I'll get us pizza 4 hot lunch on Tuesdays AND Fridays!"

Soooo...why doesn't Ashton
Soooo...why doesn't Ashton just buy the 10,000 malaria nets? Why do we have to follow him on Twitter before he'll do it?
What's the catch?

I'm try to be less jaded
I'm try to be less jaded today due to Sarah Boyle. So I'll give an alternative theory than LBDL (although she's probably right).
Maybe because it draws lots of attention to the cause. I wouldn't have known anything about this if not for Diana pointing me to Ashton's twittering the other day.
Still searching for the right brainy quote.
Yes that's a good point. I
Yes that's a good point. I had already heard of the malaria net cause, but I'm sure there are many who don't.
However, if I want to donate or buy a net, I would do it without following Ashton Kutcher. lol
I'm a nerd though...I guess I don't feel like I have to follow a celebrity in order to give something to the world.

P/K....there you go, trying
P/K....there you go, trying to be logical. "What's the catch?" Now Kitty, if he just went out and bought them, we wouldn't be talking about him right now. Would we?
So I wonder if VP gets any
So I wonder if VP gets any royalties if the members sign up for twitter.

Ahhhhh........forget it. I'm NOT going to mention the lack of preview, or edit capabilities. At least not for the next hour or so !!

Kelly, I'm very impressed by your celebrity Twitter knowledge.
If you're a gamer, you have
If you're a gamer, you have some incentives to be Ashton's 1 millionth follower. You'll win a Guitar Hero plus EA will make you into a SIM for SIMS 3 coming out this year and you'll get also get a copy of every EA game coming out this year.
A guy in Croatia did a statistical analysis of the race and says that Ashton can win at the rate he's going right now. Apparently, Ted Turner is aware of everything and thinks it's funny.
(Ash is doing a live stream right now on UStream.tv.)

You have to hand it to
You have to hand it to Twitter (and celebrity tweets) ... They're providing daily fodder for tabloids, media sites (even VP!).
I think it's a great thing for celebs - so long as celeb gossip sites are talking about their tweets, they will spend less time making up b.s. about the celebrity.
*Everybody wins*
Is the Ted Turner thing
Is the Ted Turner thing because Kutcher wrongly assumed he still headed CNN? (hello! stop having sex with Demi for a few minutes Ashton--he left several years ago) Because ideologically-speaking Turner's a cool dude these days and has been doing more to save than planet than just about any other American, save Gore. When I think of him I can't help but think of that line from RUDOLPH where Yukon says the Abominable Snowman is a 'reformed bumble.'
Yeah, it's the Ted-CNN
Yeah, it's the Ted-CNN connection.

Kelly, I confess that when I
Kelly, I confess that when I saw your message on facebook about Ashton's quest, I had to google him to find out who he is. I'm really behind on my celebrities.
When I looked him up, I slapped my forehead and said to myself, "Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, that's the whippersnapper who married Demi Moore!" Also, I noticed he was from the great state of Iowa.
So I decided to help out and follow him on Twitter, if only temporarily.
Still searching for the right brainy quote.
