Within the past 3 or 4 months I have become increasingly addicted to Twitter. I didn’t get it at first, because if you aren’t following anyone, and don’t have any followers, then it isn’t very interesting. But the more people you connect with, the more fun it becomes. Now Twitter is one of my favorite spots on the web.
About a month ago I came across the profile of Henry Rollins, then John Cleese. This morning I decided to see what other celebrities have embraced Microblogging. I believe that these are the real profiles of these individuals. I’ll update this list if I come across any more. If you know of others, or find out that any of these are fake, please post comments.

The Ira Glass account is fake. See http://twitter.com/iraglass/status/1124784589, Henry Rollins protected his http://twitter.com/HenryRollins.
I found a few others, but I’m not tellin’
Well I’ll be, you’re absolutely right on both counts. I’m seeing more and more fake accounts on Twitter, of regular people. Faking an account for someone that’s famous is one thing, but creating a fake account of someone just because they’re popular on Twitter is pretty despicable.
Thanks for the tips. Twitter on…
Even if you’re not into sports, The Real Shaq is a great read. And steve nash is a good foil — although far less regular.
Well, i’ve only started by account on twitter like 1 month ago. Before i created my account when i first woke up in the morning and started my laptop the first thing I used to open was firefox and launch the sports news. Now i open twitter…I can say i’m addicted already.

Here’s some: Andy Dick, Hugh Laurie, Stephen Colbert, Barbara Walters, Oprah, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Larry King, and Ellen Degenerous.
