No One Wins a Twitter War

Celebs are sprouting Twitter wars, which is just another way to feed their egos

When did Twitter become the equivalent of a friggin' schoolyard playground, us included? Celebs left and right are vying for followers to feed their insatiable egos in the biggest popularity contest on the Net. Let's blame Ashton Kutcher for starting this whole contest when he beat CNN to the Twitter punch, raking in more people interested in his eating habits or Demi Moore ass shots than what's going on in Iraq and beyond. (We're interested in both worldly issues and Dem's ass, thank you very much.)

This is basically a virtual who's-got-the-bigger-package challenge that won't stop until every last person on the planet is made aware of what each celeb's doing at any given moment. Too bad the celebs we really wanna know about—Robsten, especially—allegedly don't Twitter!

However, there is one tweeting New Moon dude in desperate need of your help…

Peter Facinelli, who plays R.Pattz's dad, Dr. Cullen, is in a Twitter war of his own. Pete's in a competition with his friend Rob Defranco to get 500,000 followers by Friday. If he loses, he has to hand over his precious Twilight directors chair backing to Rob. If he wins, his buddy's gotta sing Beyoncé's "Single Ladies" in a bikini on Hollywood Boulevard. Plus, he'll give away the Twilight directors chair to one of his followers! That could be you!

So go follow Petey F.'s tweets and ya might win some sweet Twilight memorabilia. Or go follow his friend if ya wanna see someone other than Joe Jonas embarrass themselves while dancing to Beyoncé.
