Top Ten Boomer Celebs On Twitter
Even more than Facebook, twitter is a great way to instantly communicate with others, and have them instantly communicate with you. You can follow almost anyone on twitter, from the British Monarchy to a formerly homeless man trying to get a job. You can also keep track of your favorite celebs, too. Here are ten good ones:
Ellen DeGeneres
It’s no surprise that Ellen’s twitter stream is just as positive and enthusiastic as her personality, and her show. And her 6.8 million followers love it. She also provides readers with a stream of outrageous photos, both of her guests and herself.

Jay Leno @jayleno
Although he appears in front of millions every night, Leno is one of the most private celebrities around. In his twitter feed he focuses on backstage moments (his video with American Idol champ Scotty McCreery) and collections of the hilarious Headlines feature on his show. Sample: “School Board Member Suspected Of Honesty.” -
Oprah Winfrey
The superstar ended her TV show last month, but she’s still got 6.3 million followers. She’s still sharing, too. Sample tweet: “Staying in pjs all day. Getting hair braided for summer vacay.”

Demi Moore
It’s obvious from her twitter name that Moore has a lot of her identity tied up with that of her husband, Ashton Kutcher. But on her twitter stream she’s not the least bit domestic. Instead, she tells her followers how to help abused animals and offers links to the latest articles on the Middle East.
Demi Moore's Twitter name: @mrskutcher -
William Shatner
Shatner is one of the goofiest show-business personalities around. He humbly asks his followers for their help in determining the best Star Trek scenes, and he answers fan tweets courteously. “Hope the restless legs settle down,” he tweeted to a follower. “My best, Bill.”

Jane Fonda
The fitness queen plugs her new book Prime Time, a guide to making the most of life after 50. However, she gives her fans a few other things, too, like photos of a party aboard a yacht belonging to Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. And she takes time to deny tabloid rumors: “All reports of me collapsing and falling are untrue. I’m in the air flying and tweeting now.”

Steven Tyler
The American Idol judge and classic-rock god calls himself “the demon of screamin” and you can tell that just from his tweets. They’re in all caps, contain lots of exclamation marks as well as rather frequent misspellings. But he’s not angry, just loud. “BREATH DEEP BABY & LIVE AGAIN” is his advice to a troubled fan, who said the message changed her life.

Marlo Thomas
Thomas, who’s just published her autobiography, Growing Up Laughing, draws followers into her AOL video show by soliciting questions for people she’s interviewing, including Biggest Loser nutritionist Jillian Michaels and New Age guru Deepak Chopra. She also shares some personal stuff, including a slideshow of her late father, comedian Danny Thomas.

Donald Trump
Guess what Donald Trump’s twitter feed is about? That’s right – Donald Trump! He relentlessly promotes Celebrity Apprentice, the Miss USA pageant, and Donald J. Trump’s Fabulous World Of Golf (on the Golf Channel). And he gives followers links to his YouTube video blog (or “vlog) where he talks about politics and shows a documentary inside “the world of Trump Golf.” You can’t say the man isn’t focused.
He's Tweeting at: @realDonaldTrump -
Joan Rivers
One of the funniest tweeters around, Rivers just keeps the jokes coming. Samples: “Anthony Weiner has given up his Congressional seat, which won’t be filled until it’s thoroughly disinfected” and “Depressed thinking about my birthday. Do you know how bad it feels to have your life flash before your eyes and it takes 6 ½ hours?”
