Celebrities on Twitter: Your thoughts?

What's everyone think about celebrities jumping on the Twitter bandwagon?
While Britney Spears is getting all the attention today, I've stumbled across everyone from William Shatner to Dave Matthews to my local Bay Area favorite, MC Hammer. Even Penn Jillette has tweets.
What do you think of the whole phenomenon? Do you follow any celebrity Twitterers?
P.S. My favorite Twitter semi-celebrity is Tony Hsieh -- the CEO of Zappos. He cracks me up with tweets like this one:
@zappos: My favorite thing... is the "Don't Ever Click Here" link near the bottom right - http://zeta.zappos.com

I like to keep up with some celebs that I enjoy watching, not just cause they are celebs. They have witty and interesting tweets.
Like...
@wilw (Wil Wheaton) and @feliciaday ( Felicia Day, up and coming star from @drhorrible and just guest starred in House episode) Also follow fakesarahpalin and fakemccain cause they're hilarious!

I found out about Twitter from a podcast of someone sort of famous. Hers is kind of interesting.

I'll check out Britney just for pure entertainment ... Dave Matthews would be cool too... I'll bet we see more and more coming on board....or their publicists coming on board on their behalf!

I really don't idolize celebrities or have a desire to read what their Personal Assistant's twitter about them. Celebrities on twitter is just hype. Twitter is the upcoming and rising star of the internet like predicted large corporations, news channels everyone is getting on twitter.

I don't follow any celebs and I used to work in PR, so know the deal in regards to who is doing the responding.

I follow "characters" of some shows but I don't really take any of their tweets seriously. I also follow specific shows as well. Mad Men and Life on Mars for instance. As for Britney, I wouldn't touch her with a ten foot pole let alone follow her on Twitter but that's a personal opinion. I don't see what the harm is in following celebs, shows, etc. Oh. And I follow TV Guide which I really like because they tweet "what's new on tonight" so I don't miss my favorite shows.

I first learned about Twitter because of a news item on the Dave Matthews Band fansite Antsmarching.org. I started by following Dave, then found fellow DMB mate, Stephan Lessard. Does Barak Obama count as a celebrity? If so, count me in on That One as well! :-)
Announce yourself!
