“At 19 years old, North Carolina native Kenny Powers’ career exploded after he debuted in the final inning of Atlanta’s season, planting a clutch save in the books right next to his 101-mph fastball. The next year (2002), Powers Mania swept the nation as Kenny became notorious for both his take-no-prisoners attitude and a knack for closing that set his career on track with the likes of Mariano Rivera. But as Powers logged seasons—and his ERA inflated as morbidly as his waist-line—it became clear that the hottest arm in baseball couldn’t go the distance.” -http://www.kennypowers.com/

While technically a fictional character, the anonymity of the Internet combined with Twitter’s liberal accounts policy makes for very entertaining, “in-character” tweets.
Number of Followers: 66,324
Recent Tweet: “FYI: I never was a lame-ass navigator on spice freighter. Might as well said I was a 'social media expert' or 'Jim Cramer's conscience.'”

One of the stars of TV’s The Office, his Twitter profile mirrors his bizarre television persona. He engages in a hilarious back and forth with a cat - he even puts a hit out on him with a local Squirrel - and starts a game of coming up with fake band names for awful cover bands (‘King’ for ‘Queen’ anyone?). He also recommends a number of blogs and links that are equally as interesting.

The pop star who also happens to play a mean axe has a Twitter profile full of his trademark pseudo-arrogant humor. It contains instructions for how his fans should treat veterans, job postings for a robot, and notes on who he has most recently plugged in his guitar with. Note: Keep an eye out for a new Spinal Tap Album featuring Mayer’s playing.

On my way back from the clinic, just tested positive for Magic Power. My doctor says it's common in men who are young, wild and free.
If the above picture is any indication, I guess the ‘magic power ‘is really working for you John.

Complete with Fart jokes, the former star of That 70’s Show has a Twitter profile rife with his typical stoner-meets-goofball lines. Although who doesn’t want to hear about what it’s like to be married to Demi Moore, and even better what it’s like to have her steam your suit. Complete with pictures.

Judging from Shaq’s tweets, I am confident his publicist does not screen them. To be fair, Shaq has embraced Twitter. He follows 489 other users and regularly directs tweets at specific people.

Occasionally using Twitter to blast the state of the record industry or drop riddle-like hints about new projects. The profile gives insights into the behind the scenes world of the Nine Inch Nails mastermind; providing backstage updates about concerts, recommendations for new music, as well as trading humorous barbs with Jane’s Addiction’s Dave Navarro.

Yes, he’s still alive, and yes he still has shoulder-length curly hair. Also of note, you can follow his wife on Twitter too and look at her photostream on Flickr if you go to her Myspace page. Looks like the Yankovic’s embrace the Internet.

Yes he lost the election, but what could be more interesting than seeing what somebody does after they run for President? Extra points for actually updating it himself, unlike his former competition (http://twitter.com/BarackObama). Senator McCain uses Twitter in its most obvious, if not unimaginative, way. He gives regular updates as to where he is in the world, who he’s meeting and what he’s up to.

Great meetings in Hanoi, Vietnam - visited the monument at the lake I parachuted into and my former residence (prison).

Who hasn’t ever wanted a glimpse into the inner world of a Porn Star? Miss Grey is no one trick pony though. As well as being the world’s first existential adult actress, she is also enjoying crossover career in music and film. Her Twitter account is updated constantly, leaving one to wonder where she finds the time to stick her finger in so many…er…pies. She also regularly replies to fans.

The former SNL cast member and new addition to late night television has mastered the art of Twitter. He balances equal parts informative tidbits about his new show, anicdotes from his life, and humorous asides. Most importantly Fallon uses it as an avenue to engage directly with his fan-base, often responding to both questions and compliments that are tweeted his way as often as he can.

There’s nothing quite like watching someone try to pull their career out of the gutter. Although the former (still?) lead singer of the notorious Limp Bizkit has been off the radar in recent years, his interaction with fans on Twitter seems to indicate he’s trying to rebuild his reputation from the ground up. Although he might have a better shot at this if he avoided posting his ham-fisted rhymes.

The master singer-songwriter’s career has seen a resurgence in recent years creatively and otherwise. His Twitter page reflects his newfound energy with personal notes on the birth of his grandchildren; as well as sneak peaks that indicate he’s dropped in to listen to some of Paul Simon’s new tunes and how they’ve inspired him to get back to work. Like the best famous Twitter users, he’s taken to answering fan questions directly.

3-time Grammy winner and one-time champion of parachute pants has more followers on Twitter than John McCain. No, I don’t know why either. No, I have no clue what he does for money. Yes, I also thought he died of a cocaine overdose several years ago.

I included Snoop on this list because unlike most every other celebrity using Twitter, Snoop requires that you request to follow him and be approved before you can see his tweets. I’m still awaiting approval.

The prince of emo-pop’s obsessively updated twitter page is mostly notable for his exchanges with other celebrities and his bandmates in Fall Out Boy. Wentz also demonstrates his ability to work a pop culture reference into almost anything, which is has always been his forte as Fall Out Boy’s main lyricist.

For reasons I don’t understand, Eli Manning “auto-follows” everyone who follows him. He still follows 500 more people than follow him. Maybe he does it to work on his reading comprehension.
