Some celebrity twitterer's are just plain boring and tweet too much about the bagel they just ate or how cute their dog looks in the bow-tie that was just gifted to them by "Hollywood Doggie Bow-Ties R Us." I'm kidding, I have no idea if that's a real dog bow-tie company.
But here are 10 celebrity Twitter accounts that are worthy of following mostly because they are ridiculous, sometimes funny, and occasionally informative.

This highly publicized trial is causing a hashtag fury! Celebrities are taking to twitter to vent over this awful outcome.
Sharon Osbourne: “Casey Anthony not guilty??....it’s a disgrace. She’ll probably get her own reality show now...

"Hey there Jenna's MySpacers! My name is Rainn Wilson and I've kidnapped the lovely Jenna, put her, bound, in the trunk of my firebird and logged onto her MySpace to send out this bulletin.
To free America's sweetheart, Pam Beesly, one half of the magic which is 'Jam', you must attend my new movie, The Rocker, which opens August 20th. As soon as the film grosses 18.7 Mil, she will be released and given a peach smoothie.
I've also recently discovered that August 20th is truly a special and historic day. Estonia achieved it's independence! Sting got married to Trudy Skyler! What better way to celebrate the magic of Sting and Estonia than by seeing what is perhaps the greatest film ever made (about a heavy metal drummer).
Many of you have perhaps seen posters of me in my leopard briefs, or the trailers in which my balls get racked by a power strip. And, although the film WILL be adored by legions of teen-aged male Dwight fans, it will also be loved by the whole GD family, including Amish cousins. It truly is a fun and lovely coming-of-age, rock n'roll comedy and good reviews are coming in, including two thumbs up from Ebert and Roeper and also from my son, Walter (who has three of them).
Also, if you're a fan of: Will Arnett, Christina Applegate, Jason Sudeikis, Jane Lynch, Emma Stone, Jeff Garlin, Demitri Martin, Fred Armisen, Bradley Cooper, Pope Benedick III, WINGS (the show and/or the back-up band), coral reefs, soup, Former Mayor Ed Koch, the guy who played Norm on Cheers, baby Suri, dairy, Coldplay, Animal Planet or the letter "Q"…
YOU WILL LOVE THIS MOVIE! So… Please spend your 10.50$ American on THE ROCKER, get yourself a popcorn and a Mountain Dew, bring 1800 of your closest friends so that 1) Jenna gets a smoothie and 2) They let me be in another movie someday. That is all.
Rainn Dietrich Wilson"
We've already checked out the movie, and it's definitely worth the $10.50! Don't know what baby Suri has to do with anything, though….

In the latest film "The Rocker," actor Rainn Wilson gets his second shot at fame with the help of the World Wide Web.
Wilson takes on the role of Musician Robert "Fish" Fishman who is fired from Vesuvius, a fictional 1980's hair band, before they become famous. The movie follows Fishman as he gets a second chance at fame when he joins the garage band of his nephew Matt (Josh Gad).
Hollyscoop hit the junket for the film where we got the chance to catch up with the actors. Our Hollyscoop correspondent Bridget Daly asked Wilson about his main role and how he prepared to portray a rock star. Rainn said, “I used the greatest research tool of our generation, YouTube, a lot of heavy metal videos. “
The research obviously helped, since Rainn got the rocker role down, very different from his role as Dwight Schrute in The Office.
“Everyone knows me as Dwight, the kind of weird, creepy uptight geek from the office. Robert Fishman from "The Rocker"...balls to the wall heavy metal drummer...lets it all hang out, big wig, spandex...just having a rocking good time. Is about as different from Dwight as you get. “
The movie also features the lovely Emma Stone and Teddy Geiger who gave us the scoop on making this comedy. To get the "10 Seconds Scoop" on why you should watch this film, check out our special coverage below. Always remember to Rock On!

Hollscoop’s Bridget Daly caught up with the actor at The Rocker movie junket in Los Angeles where we asked about his upcoming transformation in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
“I am just playing a cameo of a college professor who turns into a toaster oven,” said Wilson. “So I get a little bit of transformation but it’s kind of on a smaller scale.”
Check out our interview with the star below.
