Twitters of the Day

The world of Twitter is not nearly as fun as it used to be. When Twitter was new, every low-I.Q.'ed bimbo in Hollywood regularly embarrassed themselves by saying what was ever on their minds, even when there was nothing on their minds, which was often. But unfortunately for us, a lot of celebrities embarrassed themselves once too often, causing their P.R. people to step in and call a halt to their mindless jibber-jabber, which sucked for our "Twitters of the Day" feature here at East Village Afternoon. But there's always a silver lining to every dark cloud, and fortunately for us, for some of those Twitterers, the need for attention is stronger than any sense of personal pride. Thank you, Jesus!

Below are the best and the worst Twitters of the past few weeks...

Bill Maher - 5.14.11
Love the Glenn Beck-Megan McCain feud - he's all like "you're fat" and she's all "Nah ah" - see why the Republicans are the party of ideas?

Joan Rivers - 5.14.11
Katie Holmes is allegedly pregnant, again!?! The baby will have her eyes and the turkey baster’s nose.

5.15.11
Katie Holmes is denying she’s pregnant. It turns out the baby bump was an overnight bag from her latest escape attempt from Tom Cruise.

Alec Mapa - 5.12.11
The Shake Weight for men commercial just replaced me as the gayest thing on television.

5.12.11
I haven't followed Idol all season, but I just tuned in and there's a drag queen named Lauren!

Denis Leary - 5.12.11
Newt Gingrich enters prez race. He doesnt even have a 50% approval rating from other guys named Newt.

And from the less gifted among us...

Paris Hilton - 5.11.11
Just had an amazing facial.

(Unintentional joke score!)

Heidi Montag - 4.5.11
People keep asking what my new show is about. I say - imagine if Chekov & Tolstoy wrote for reality TV.

(Someone needs to tell her the famous Russian writer was Chekhov; Chekov was the Russian guy on Star Trek.)






Kim Kardashian - 5.9.11
When I walked into dinner it was warm outside, now walking out its pouring rain? What's going on LA?

(Yes, weather is so confusing. Oh my.)









And then there are some Twitterers who aren't completely brainless, but still can't keep from stepping in it...


John Mayer - 4.23.11
I think Justin Bieber is a really over-rated singer.

4.23.11
I'm sorry if some of you are pissed of about it but its what I really think of him.

(Glass houses, John... big, shiny, glass houses.)

Ride Around Town With The Girl I Love

We recently came across this recent photo of Hershel Walker, the 1982 Heisman Trophy winner, former NFL football star and former contestant on Donald Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice" who is now competing as a mixed-martial arts fighter. None of this is news, really, so why are we featuring Walker today? Maybe because his birthday is March 3, 1962, which means that this man, and this body, is less than 14 months away from turning 50. Wow. In Walker's case, 50 really is the new 30.

And speaking of "Celebrity Apprentice" alums, Joan Rivers is making headlines this week over her remarks about Sarah Palin. Joan, who has a new reality show with daughter, Melissa, was to appear on the Fox Network's "Fox and Friends" to promote the show, but then, suddenly, her appearance was cancelled. Joan had made a remark on another show that she thought Sarah Palin deserved some of the blame for the Arizona shooting, and that she thought Palin "is just stupid and a threat". After the Fox cancellation, Rivers tweeted that she thought it was due to her Palin remarks. Later, in an interview with Rob Shuter of Popeater, when asked if she would go on Fox if invited again, Rivers replied that Fox can "go fuck themselves."

Now if only the two former "Celebrity Apprentice" contestants would team up. Joan could taunt Sarah Palin while Hershel slams her to the mat in a cage fight. Now that's a reality show we'd like to see. Actually, put Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh in the cage with Walker, too, and we'd even pay to see it.
