Just a few weeks ago, no one was close to reaching that benchmark. Now, as users have flocked to the increasingly popular microblogging site, the numbers have grown. Usually, Hollywood sets the trend: the week-long juice fast, the handbag almost as big as the starlet carrying it. Once in a while, it latches on late.

That’s the case with Twitter. Over the past few months, an account with the social network, long a favorite of Silicon Valley, has muscled its way onto the A-List’s list of must-haves, along with a self-named liquor and signature fragrance. Lance Armstrong, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, P. Diddy, Martha Stewart, John Mayer, Ellen Degeneres, Kathy Griffin, Margaret Cho, Jimmy Fallon and Perez Hilton count themselves among the celebrity “Twitterati,” updating accounts themselves or sometimes, employing ghost Twitterers/assistants to do the dirty work for them. Twitter mania has reached into some of the loftiest levels of society. Britain’s Queen Elizabeth tweets, with the help of royal staffers . And Barack Obama, who began twittering during the election campaign, issued the first presidential tweet this week. Earlier this week, actor Ashton Kutcher announced that he will try to beat CNN to reach 1 million followers on the popular social networking site.

Initially, he said that if he succeeds, he will “ding dong ditch” CNN founder Ted Turner’s house while shooting his next movie in Atlanta. (In other words, he’ll ring the doorbell and run, if he can even get close enough to the door of the mogul’s estate.) 

 all for fun and good cause ashton k donated 10,000 mosquito bed nets to charity for World Malaria Day later this month. 

If a retard like Ashton Kutcher defeated CNN, it's a serious sign that the world is falling apart

most ashton's followers are ppl who's constantly online and knew about it and mostly are teens, 20s and 30s ashton's followers are age btw 14-40ish but people who watch CNN are totally different age group CNN viewers are frm age late 20s - 50s so my guesstimation is that ashton won the race by teens-30s followers and those are age group of ppl who are on the net more constantly than CNN viewers .....pls correct me if im wrong

Larry king looks like an owl will othritis but hes still awesome as ever

I sooooo hope you're right ChanelX. I wonder how did the idiot got to marry Demi Moore, but then again, if Demi Moore chose an idiot like Ashton Kutcher over Bruce Willis, they might be a perfect match
