Celebrity Twitterer Followers???

Posted by charlie on October 14th, 2011, under NOTEBOOK

Celebrity Twitter accounts are following HowToBeADad.com

We try to derive happiness out of the simple things when it comes to our little blog since we’re, you know, not exactly MAKING ANY MONEY BLOGGING. I mean we have a good time over on the ole Twitter thang. But something has been happening lately that is making us question tweeting altogether.

I’m talking about celebrity Twitter accounts following us. It’s completely insane.

Yep, few things us poop our non-diapered pants more, aside from male readers salivating and saying our wives are hot, than a celebrity following us. Oh, and bad food from Mexican meals-on-wheels trucks. It makes us think, “Uh oh, what if they actually read our tweets?” We’ve reached Defcon 3 of Freaked-Outness.

It started off fine. The guy who wrote “Celestine Prophecy” clicked follow. Ricki Lake’s TV show pretend to listen to us. But then more of them started following and the pressure built. A former playboy playmate, Winnebago Man, Chynna Phillips and even Epic Mullet Guy. Rad and intriguing people with interesting lives. Following US?

But then HE started following us.

Cameron Crowe on the set.I’m holding up my cell phone playing Peter Gabriel right now…

Cameron Crowe. Or, as he is known on Twitter, @CameronCrowe.

If I had to sit down and write my Top 5 list of directors, Mr. Crowe is in there. He has this unique ability to capture the singular feeling you get when you’re stuck in the amber of a moment. He’s a master. I’ve wanted to be in his movies since I was born. Having his Twitter account, even if it’s just managed by someone else, feels like a slap in the face. A good one though. Like when you need to be woken up or something.

Here is a letter I wrote to him, anyone know how to make sure it gets there? CLICK HERE

Someone needs to tweet and let him know we can’t take the stress of knowing he could possibly see what we’re writing. It’s completely crazy to us why anyone’s following us — if I’m being perfectly honest. But when people reply on Twitter or post a comment, it reminds us why we love doing it. We like hanging out with you guys.

Have a great weekend.

Horseshoes and hand grenades,

Charlie

    Get used to it boys :)

  3. Great post! Congrats on the big time followers!

  4. Monica says:

    That is awesome. Don’t be so surprised, you guys are so funny. I love reading everything you add. I don’t have twitter but I follow you on facebook and pinterest.com. Love you guys, keep up the good work!

  5. I’m being followed by my other 2500 Twitter accounts, which is also something. Although, to be fair, I also own 2000 Twitter accounts that I have decided would be too good to follow me. (These include my greedy-dumbass parody account, @SarahPalinUSA)

  6. Your self-depreciating humble attitude makes me want to punch you in the face.

  7. Love ya’s. But really. Quit it.

    Wow, that’s kind of a big deal. I thought we hit it big when TeamCarsonAnna started following us, you know, Dancing with the Stars?

    We’ll one up you HTBAD, just you wait and see. We’ll get Tom Selleck to start following us. Cameron may have great movies, but Tom has one hell of a mustache.

  9. Wow! Now Cameron Crowe knows that Andy masturbates when his wife isn’t home.

    Not many people can say that.

    Rockin’! Like others above have said, this looks like the perfect time to try getting comfortable with the idea of the onslaught to come. ;)

    I’ll wait in line to see the movie when it comes out. It’ll have to be PG-13 with the masturbation* and all, so you might as well say “eff it” and go for the “R.”

    That said, Cameron Crowe is awesome and I’m jealous. Hell, I even loved ‘Elizabethtown.’

    * think ‘Fast Times’
