While we all assumed it'd go away faster than Vanilla Ice on a Compton street corner, it hasn't. The Twitter phenomena continues. Hell, it even grows. And if you're one of the millions who "tweet" daily, you might be searching for some more people to follow. And if you're really desperate, you could always follow us. Using the trained llama we keep in the backroom, we compiled a list of 10 celebrities you should follow. (Sorry Mr. and Mrs. Kutcher, you don't make the list.)
1. Tracy Morgan
http://twitter.com/RealTracyMorgan
Why: Because we have a sinking suspicion his ramblings on 30 Rock aren't scripted.
Example Tweet: "my dickhead is shaped liked a darth vadar helmet. my dick is so fat it looks like r2d2."
2. "Weird" Al Yankovic
http://twitter.com/alyankovic
Why: Whether or not you're a fan, there's no doubt he's a musical genius. Think we're wrong? Name another musical parody artist. There, we didn't think so.
Example Tweet: "I think maybe I'll try to get my next meet-and-greet sponsored by Purell."
3. John Hodgman
http://twitter.com/hodgman
Why: He's not a PC but he plays one on TV. He's also a correspondent for the Daily Show as well as a humorist of epic proportions.
Example Tweet: "Ok, look. I'm segwaying again. Keep your judgment. I'm getting enough already from every old hippie on Venice beach."
4. Sarah Silverman
http://twitter.com/SarahKSilverman
Why: I'm not sure if you've ever heard of her, but she's the funniest woman on the planet. Take that you Elaine Stritch supporters.
Example Tweet: "I honestly can't remember the politically correct word for "Asian." Is it "Little People?"
5. Aziz Ansari
http://twitter.com/azizansari
Why: Because he's the best thing on Parks & Recreation.
Example Tweet: "Our driver now has claimed to have a roundhouse that clocks in at 75mph and implied that face off surgery is real."
6. Thomas Lennon
http://twitter.com/thomaslennon
Why: With the abrupt cancellation of Reno 911!, how else are you supposed to get your Dangle fix?
Example Tweet: "There's no business like show business. Except for Entertainment Law, which has a lot of overlap with show business, but pays better."
7. Natali Del Conti
http://twitter.com/natalidelconte
Why: She's like Olivia Munn except she knows what she's talking about when it comes to geeks and gadgets.
Example Tweet: "Taking advantage of home shopping network. Meaning: swiping toiletries and cleaning supplies from my mom's house before I fly back to NY."
8. Michael Ian Black
http://twitter.com/michaelianblack
Why: The man is incapable of sending out an unfunny tweet.
Example Tweet: "Word I invented for bulimics who throw up on each other while having sex: blumping."
9. Adam Savage
http://twitter.com/donttrythis
Why: He blows things up so you don't have to. (But you can still watch)
Example Tweet: "Overheard here at our Emmy party "back up so we can see Pohler's tits""
10. Jim Gaffigan
http://twitter.com/jimgaffigan
Why: Because he's the only person on the planet paler than Johnny Wright.
Example Tweet: "Snails are a delicacy? Compared to what? Barnacles"

Flight of the Conchords doesn't count as a parody artist?
The Conchords are talented and funny, but I'd put them in the satire category and not the parody category. I'd even go as far to say that, while the Kiwi's are talented, musically Weird Al destroys him. He never gets as much credit as he deserves.
