Twitter Watch!
Lots of stars have jumped on the Twitter bandwagon but whose page is actually worth reading?
Rex FeaturesKelly Osbourne
Kelly Osbourne’s Tweets can sometimes be a tad defensive, but most concern family, fashion and dear old Blighty. All a bit mundane, except for when she rants. Along with blasting ex-fiancé Luke Worrall in several posts, Kelly also famously Tweeted that Dannii Minogue “is the devil”. Tell us how you really feel, Kelly!

PA PhotosDannii Minogue
One of the most prolific and polite Tweeters on the block, Dannii Minogue often retweets her followers (like, ahem twitter.com/GlamourMagUK) and posts on everything beauty, fashion and X Factor. Nothing too juicy, but her Twitter page fun and friendly – just like Dannii herself.

PA PhotosCharlie Sheen
Charlie Sheen garnered 150,000 followers for his first ever Tweet, which climbed to 280,000 just an hour later. This is no doubt because of the controversy surrounding the star after leaving rehab. Let’s hope Charlie’s Twitter page soon gets attention for all the right reasons.

Rex FeaturesPiers Morgan
The new king of US television has become one to watch on Twitter. With unparalleled access to A-list celebs on a regular basis, Piers keeps gossip lovers satisfied with his fairly amusing and slightly self-congratulatory anecdotes.

PA PhotosJessie J
At the time of writing, prolific poster Jessie J had almost 300,000 followers. But with her star rising at a phenomenal speed, her Tweets just don’t seem to be keeping up with the sheer force of it all. That said, we reckon once things calm down Jessie’s posts will be ones to follow.

PAJustin Bieber
What goes through the brain of the world’s most famous 17-year-old? “I like escalators cuz when they break they just become stairs” is one Justin Bieber Tweet. We have to admit that the teen star is sweet to his 8m followers – even the crazy ones who post pictures of homemade birthday cakes they’ve baked in his honour. Bless.

Rex FeaturesKanye West
Kanye West joined Twitter in July 2010 to much fanfare, especially after he unusually chose to follow only one person, Stephen Holmes from Coventry. The rap stars Tweets veer from shout-outs to his unorthodox views on love, but they’re never short of controversy.

PA PhotosTaylor Swift
America’s sweetheart Taylor Swift posts regularly from around the world. “Just finished a tv interview in a pub and yesterday I passed Kate Moss in a hallway! I'm 100% sure I'm in London,” she Tweeted from our fair land. Also expect lots of heartfelt thank you posts to fans and the odd exchange with celebs like Katy Perry. Very likable.

PA PhotosLea Michele
One for any Gleek to follow, Lea Michele’s Twitter has lots of posts mentioning cast members Chris Colfer (Kurt) and Naya Rivera (Santana). Also expect lots of exuberant exclamations of “OMG!” and her opinion on best Glee episodes. But if you’re not a Glee-fan (sacrilege!), we wouldn’t recommend.

Expect inspirational and outrageous reflections on life from the brain of Gaga, plus gossip and titbits from the tour and the odd backstage picture. Fabulous.

PA PhotosPeter Facinelli
We’ve always had a soft spot for Dr Carlisle Cullen here at GLAMOUR.COM Towers, but Peter’s Tweets get especially interesting when he’s on the set of the latest Twilight flick documenting the antics of the cast, including R-Patz, Taylor and Kristen. Peter even got Rob to Tweet via this profile when he hit 1,000,000 followers last year, much to the delight of Twi-hards everywhere.

PA PhotosPink
Alecia Beth Moore’s musing on life, love and the current music scene – usually littered with expletives and always amusing. For example ‘The paparazzi in this town are so rude and mean they made my mom cry. I wish I could make them eat sh*t. Or eat each other, really.’

Rex FeaturesLindsay Lohan
If there ever was a star to watch obsessively on Twitter, it’s this one! As well as posting naughty pics and Tweeting with on-off lover Samantha Ronson, Lindsay regularly rubbishes tabloid fodder about her and talks everything from Jimmy Choos to peace in the Middle East, with a few quotes from Ghandi thrown in. A weird and wonderful mix – just like Lindsay!

Music and fashion titbits from the GLAMOUR.COM favourite with all the gossip from the Radio 1 studios and the odd Twitpic of her latest hair cut painting. Fearne's quite the artist you know…

PA PhotosCalvin Harris
Dance DJ du jour Calvin is prone to the odd twitter rant, which proves highly entertaining – and can often go on for hours. His lengthy 2009 tirade against “rich kid” music journalists for poor reviews of his latest album is now the stuff of legends.

PA PhotosRihanna
RiRi joined the Twitter game later than her contemporaries, but she’s made up for it with near-hourly Tweets and over 3m followers. Our favourite posts are the ones with her gal pal Katy Perry. When Katy Tweeted she was sorry to miss the Rude Boy singer’s birthday, Rihanna replied, “bitch are u kidding? I missed ur WEDDING!!” We love her.

PA PhotosKellan Lutz
Cutesy Tweets from the Twilight hulk include many a’ declaration of love for his fans and attempts to drum up support for various charities. What a sweetie! It’s just too bad he took down his infamous profile pic where he was wearing some VERY low-cut jeans.

WENNKaty Perry
This is what we want! As well as hilarious pics and vids of her and husband Russell Brand, Katy lifts the lid on Hollywood’s classiest events. Twittering from the uber-glamorous Met Ball, the singer wrote: “So enter the women's restroom and ALL the famous super models are smoking in the restroom. This is so highschool again.” Keep it coming Katy.

After her split with Peter, Katie became one-to-watch on the tweeting front. She’s gobby, honest and never afraid to take on her detractors. Whether you love or hate her, you can‘t help but follow her often controversial Tweets.

PA PhotosPerez Hilton
Perez’s Twitter page is a great place to get the latest gossip before anyone else as he often posts here before his website. When we looked he’d just received messages from the Glee cast, Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Britney – you can’t ask for more than that! Did we mention his often hilarious outbursts and rivalries? Too juicy not to read!

PA PhotosAshton Kutcher
The Punk'd star Tweets about his latest filming ventures, what he’s watching on TV and various current affairs issues (at the time of writing that was Libya). He famously beat CNN in a Twitter contest to enrol 1m followers – partly thanks to the bikini shots he put up of wife Demi Moore. Very cheeky.

Rex FeaturesNicole Richie
If you’re like us, you’ll want to be Nicole’s new BF after reading her Twitter page. The Simple Life star comes across as funny and unpretentious. “I heard there was an earthquake today. I felt it a rumble, but assumed it was Joel's gas again,” is one of our favourite tweets. Exactly what a celebrity Twitter page should be.

PA PhotosBritney Spears
Cute comments from pop princess Britney about playing with Sean and Jayden in the garden and her latest shopping habits. One thing we appreciate about Britney’s Twitter page is that when her manager Tweets on her behalf (which is quite often), he makes sure the fans know it’s not Britney. We suspect other celebrity managers aren’t so honest.

PA PhotosLily Allen
Lily Allen’s addiction to Twitter got her in deep water during a family dinner at Nobu. The singer wrote: “Here come the tears. I'm being told off for being on my blackberry, till next time my lovelies. X” This is Lily, warts and all!

Rex FeaturesStephen Fry
Erudite and funny, no wonder Stephen Fry had over 2m followers at the time of writing. Read the actor’s thoughts on not winning a BAFTA; what he has for dinner and getting stuck in traffic. He can post up to 20 times a day but it’s all worth reading.

Rex FeaturesJonathan Ross
Jonathan Ross, or Wossy as he’s known on Twitter, mixes the celebrity with the mundane. “I told Sir Paul McCartney that since playing Beatles Rockband as Ringo I had greater respect for him as a drummer,” he tweets, followed later by, “Nice Sunday morning. Bagels in bed with my wife. That’s the food, not the name of our lodger.”

PA PhotosRussell Brand
TV couldn’t hold back Russell Brand and neither does Twitter. The comedian writes about wife Katy Perry (who can forget THAT no make-up picture he posted of her?), about the progress of Booky Wook 2, crazy food concoctions and his opinions on celebrities: “I smelt Justin Bieber’s hair. It was like a vanilla meadow made from lego. I'd eat my dinner off it.” Just beware of the sleaze!

Just like this stand-up, Jimmy Carr’s Tweets are dry, dry, dry. A typical example is: “Apparently by counting the rings you can tell how old a tree was...when you killed it.”

WENNDavid Mitchell
The Peep Show star’s witty posts will have you in hysterics, trust us. For starters: “Oh and I'm sexing oysters. By which I mean I'm determining their sex, not trying my stuff.”

It’s probably best to stay away from Snoop Doggy Dogg’s page if you’re not a fan of text speak. Answers on a postcode if you know what this means: “N U DO KNOW THAT we r basc” Apparently his crew does.

Jamie Oliver’s Twitter page is great for BBQ recipe ideas; not so great for entertainment value. Stick to his TV shows instead.

Rex FeaturesDita Von Teese
Dita Von Teese bares almost as much in her Tweets as she does in her burlesque shows! “I'm being blackmailed for love letters I wrote once, as if I care that the world finds out that I'm romantic! (naked photos too, scandal! ;)”

Denise Richards has a tendency to post about what she has for breakfast, but more interesting Tweets include how she took her daughters to see her ex-husband Charlie Sheen, and how she felt when people trashed her singing.

PA PhotosJohn Mayer
Twitter was reportedly the reason Jennifer Aniston finally ended her relationship with John Mayer. Jen found out that the musician was posting on Twitter every hour despite telling her he was too busy to call. Pearls of wisdom from the singer’s page include: “Fact: songs sound faster at night. Which is why you have to check tempos when the sun is out.”

Mariah Carey regularly writes about her dog Cha Cha and her recording schedules. Interesting but only if you’re a massive Mariah fan, which apparently nearly 4m people are.

Peaches Geldof’s posts are quite in-jokey so don’t be surprised if you can’t work out their meaning. “In NYC with @bunny4life he's rubbing our cat all over his naked chest. He says because it ''feels good, man''.

Her Tweets are often about fashion shows and the surprisingly boring Tweets about hanging out with her family but it’s worth logging on just for the cute profile picture.

Rex FeaturesJessica Simpson
Depending on your mindset, Jessica Simpson’s Twitter page is either mildly mindless or plain cute. “Saying my prayers before bedtime...Thank you Lord for blessing me with a Man that has the perfect Tush...laying my hands upon it with peace :)” is a typical Tweet.

Alan Carr’s musings are funny but, apart from the TV programme he’s currently watching, the comedian is careful not to give too much away about himself. A passionate responder to followers’ comments.

The Terminator actor and California Governor uses his Twitter page to post health help lines and public information notices about what he’s doing for the environment. His signature phrase might be “I’ll be back” but we’re not sure if we will!

Demi Moore obviously relishes her privacy and you’ll not get many domestic details out of her! We think she should get some Twitter tips from hubby Ashton.

Rob Brydon includes lots of anecdotes about comedic world, all with a down-to-earth twist. A recent post was “Am I the only person to see someone’s name on the Trending list and think, “Oh God, I hope they haven’t died!” eg Bill Nighy. He hasn’t.” All quite amusing.
