I have a fun favor to ask that could not be easier. After you read today’s twits, log onto Twitter and start following Ashton Kutcher. Here’s his direct link, Ashton’s closing in on 900,000 followers and campaigning hard (as is all of Twitter nation) to beat CNN as the first to have a million followers. I’ve already gone out on a limb and promised Ashton (from my Twitter account) that Fancast readers will follow him. Please don’t make me look bad, make it happen. Here’s what Ashton will deliver in return: Ashton Kutcher@7:05PM 4/14/09: the 1 millionth person gets a guitar hero! Ashton Kutcher@7:06PM 4/14/09: then again I don’t know how we are going to identify the millionth… but we will ding dong ditch Turner on video.

Personally, I’d rather see him ring Turner’s doorbell and run away. I already have Guitar Hero.
Show Ashton the love like they do:


Miley Cyrus@7:48PM 4/14/09: IM PUTTING IT UP ON MY MILEY AND MANDY SHOW SITE! ASHTON + TWITTER = HISTORY! text me and let me know what else you need! game on! P.

And just for Twits and giggles, how could we not have some new tweets for y’all…

Ashton Kutcher@5:07AM 4/15/09: Waking up is never as brutal when u do it before the sun comes up. I think it’s a light thing. Demi Moore@11:31 PM 4/14/09: Just had my dose of AI brain dessert and I am not a fan of the 2 judges deal if you agree let Ryan Seacrest know we are protesting!!!

What do I give a twit about? Tonight’s second annual ‘A-List Awards‘ on Bravo, Lil’ Kim’s wardrobe malfunction on ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ and last night’s ‘Fringe.’


Who Gives A Twit - Bottom Line: Ashton Vs. CNN

It’s Twar! There are two stories on Twitter right now that I’m glued too.

1) Twitter followers are flocking by the tens of thousands following Ashton Kutcher in his quest to beat CNN with 1,000,000 followers. Ashton expressed his true feelings about the twit chase w/this tweet; Ashton Kutcher@9:45AM 4/15/09: I feel like I’m running for class president. I’ll get us pizza 4 hot lunch on Tuesdays AND Fridays!

Here’s the direct link to sign up:

And the other story that is just as important…

Buscemi Vs. Wahlberg

2) Steve Buscemi has stopped following Donnie Wahlberg. Seems that Donnie is way too up on life for Steve’s palate. I gotta side with my man Steve, but I’ll keep following Donnie because his thoughts are gold.

Here are some of Donnie’s bumper sticker quality tweets that drove Mr. Buscemi away:

Donnie Wahlberg@12:19AM 4/14/09: Tomorow- listen to your inner voice. Listen to the universe. It talks to you. But you gotta be ready to receive the message. Trust. ddub Donnie Wahlberg@1:30AM 4/14/09: We don’t sleep….. We study. We don’t rest…. We build. We don’t settle…. We soar. We don’t whimper…. We roar!!!! BE GREAT!! Donnie Wahlberg@11:22AM 4/15/09: Today- I will temper my enthusiasm for all the gifts that await me with the reminder that I am only here but for the gifts of others! ddub
Donnie’s happy and peppiness sparked these reactions from Steve Buscemi:
Steve Buscemi@4:13PM 4/14/09: Hate to call you out on it but I’m sick & tired of these New Kids on the Block invites. Donnie, you’re out of your element Donnie Wahlberg@4:14PM 4/14/09: I would never be in a boy band, but if I had to, it’d be with Skeet Ulrich, Peter Sarsgaard, and Stephen Dorff. Steve Buscemi@11:04AM 4/15/09: had to unfollow Donnie Wahlberg–his giddy enthusiasm was worse than a black widow crawling up my ass and laying eggs in my brain.
Eesh! That sounds almost as painful as this recipe Steve twitted to the universe a few days ago:
Steve Buscemi@3:19 PM Apr 9th: Buscemi’s Burning Cottage - 6 oz. cottage cheese, 2 oz. Pirate’s Booty White Cheddar Puffs, 2 oz. chopped pineapple, dash Tapatio. Trust me.

OK, Steve. I trust you… I just hope my stomach does too.

What do I give a twit about? The feuds on ‘The Real Housewives of New York,’ the first look at Kendra Wilkinson’s new show, and the premiere episode of ‘Rescue Me.
