Special Thanks

It takes a village to create a successful book and this is certainly no exception. Multiple teams at Wiley came together to make this happen at breakneck speed. It’s truly amazing.

Mike Trent, you are an artistic rock star on covers and category opener art for this book and across the board. You make the ideas come to life. Many, many thanks.

Beth Brooks, you created this design and it’s bright, cheerful, colorful (even for a two color book), and most of all user friendly. You zero in on the details and leave no stone unturned and it shows in your work. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Todd Siesky, you are a fact checking machine. Through rain, snow, sleet, shine and lack of sleep you reviewed and verified these entries.

Stephanie McComb, you are the acquisitions editor of the gods. Your guidance, advice, and assistance were immeasurable.

Robyn Siesky, your editing and project management brought this book up to the level. “40 characters or less including spaces” is the new mantra.

Introduction

What are you doing?

With that humble, even mundane, question, a company, a network, and a phenomenon were born.

What are you doing?

It’s a question that seems crafted to elicit nothing but the most trivial of replies: I just woke up; I’m having bacon and eggs for breakfast; I’m in a boring meeting; I’m taking my kids to school; I’m going to bed.

But a funny thing has happened in the three years or so that Twitter has been part of the social networking scene: Twitter users took the original What are you doing? question and morphed it into something more along the lines of What’s happening now? That seemingly subtle change has made all the difference because it opens up a world of new questions: What are you reading? What great idea did you just come up with? What interesting person did you just see or have dinner with? What great information did you stumble upon on the Web? What hilarious video would you like to share?

At one time, Twitter’s most notable users were a tech blogger and a mid-20s female known for strapping a Web Cam to her head and fawning over Apple gadgets. Today, the top users are literally the famous: Ashton Kutcher, Ellen DeGeneres, Britney Spears and Lance Armstrong to name just a few. Celebrities tend to open up on Twitter in a way never seen in tabloid magazines.

Twitter offers real-time tabloid drama, on-set spoilers and provides a direct connection with the real person behind the celebrity brand. This directory will help you quickly and easily find out which of your celebrity favorites uses Twitter.

Who should read this book? You!

Some books are aimed squarely at specific types of people: beginners, programmers, left-handers, or whatever. Not this book.

The Celebrity Tweet Directory is for anyone and everyone! This book targets the millions of you already on Twitter or those of you new to Twitter who want to see what’s happening with friends, family and your favorite celebrities. Whether you’re a teen, a grandparent, or anyone in between, this portable directory helps you quickly discover what’s truly happening in Hollywood, on Wall Street, or in Washington by following your favorite celeb, politician, and athlete. This book is divided by category with the celebrities listed in alphabetical order to easily find your favorites. This directory also aims to weed out the fake celebrity twitter accounts, providing only the real and verified Twitter handles, saving you the hassle and time of weeding through celebrity poser accounts.

Happy Twittering!

The changing Twitter user

While we have researched and verified everything possible in this directory, the people using and stats of Twitter change multiple times daily—adding or deleting accounts, adjusting their handles, follower number changing, etc... There is a chance that the Twitter celebrity you’re looking for may not be on Twitter anymore or may have changed their handle to avoid copycats. We’ve done everything to avoid this, but you can just never tell with a celebrity.

Anyone see Angels & Demons? Tom Hanks ruined it for me when he told Stephen Colbert anti-matter is harmless. A shaken soda is more scary.
