nogoodforme ix: Most Fascinating Celebrity Twitters
DAVE NAVARRO
If someone had told me when I was 15, "You can choose one famous person to type words into a magical box that you can somehow see from your own house, and this will happen multiple times every single day," Dave Navarro probably would've been the 17th or 18th runner-up on my list. (Not too shabby!) His Twitter's not all that amazing, but it almost halfway fills the void left by his defunct radio show that I loved so much. This one time on the air he made a joke about how every night at 2 a.m. he texts "Where are you?" and then hits "Send All" in hopes of getting lucky - except it was way funnier when Dave said it, and also way funnier than most things he ever types on Twitter. Oh well. (Liz)
DITA VON TEESE
Dita's Twitter is probably the most surprising of all. She's so retro that you'd think she'd be all, "Excuse me, I only Twitter in telegrams." But she's really chatty, smart and genuinely interesting, and I'm kind of obsessed with the idea of doing a nogoodforme interview with her now because she seems like a really fun girlfriend who would go with you to the Leonard Cohen concert, help you out with your lipstick dilemma over a cocktail, and introduce you to John Galliano in a vintage emporium. Unreal. (Kat)
LAUREN CONRAD/STEPHANIE PRATT
What an astute and perceptive human being you are, Stephanie Pratt! Check out this bon mot: "Ok when you try and kiss someone on the cheek and they move their head...Its the most annoying thing in the world. there will b consequences"- whoa! WHOA! Such insight! I only wish I could deduce what these consequences could 'b,' but I'm kind of a dunce compared to She-Pratt. The best thing that ever happened in the history of Twitter was when Steph wrote, "I wish we were living in the 50's and drank milkshakes all day and wore poodle skirts -i really missed my decade hahaha," and Lauren Conrad responded, "@stephaniepratt Kinda random, but I agree! Either that or the 20's. I'd have a speakeasy in my basement and wear beaded dresses everyday!"- not only does this statement perfectly illustrate the rampant and nauseating misuse of "random" by Generation I Want To KIll Myself, but it also showcases LC's moderate intelligence, which makes me smile, because I love her. Lauren Conrad knows what a speakeasy is! In the words of Heidi Montag: THANK YOU JESUS!!!!! (LJ)
MARTHA STEWART
I really loved the time Martha Stewart posted a twitpic of all her dogs dressed up in Easter Bunny ears. I also love that the background to Martha Stewart's Twitter page is tiled wallpaper of a French bulldog. Reading Martha Stewart's Twitter has helped me recognize that, despite all the bells, whistles, billions, and prison sentences, Martha Stewart is little more than a crazy old lady. She may have expertly-crafted golden highlights and expensive taste in organic produce, but when you get a gem like "yes twitter is cool- but the question is what is next?" you begin to understand that Martha Stewart Twittering is basically Your Grandmother Twittering, only with P.Diddy instead of Ethel Rosencrantz. (LJ)
MINDY KALING
Kelly Kapoor's Twitter isn't nearly as awesome as her shopping blog, but she gets 500 points for using a You've Got Mail film still as her background, and another 500 just for being her adorable and awesome self. Basically I picked her 'cause I'm really Twitter-underwhelmed right now, and - apart from the Hills gang - there's no celebs I'm all that stoked on. The best Twitter in the world belongs to This Recording, so go follow that if you're not already. Cool? (Liz)
NOT COURTNEY LOVE
Ugh, Courtney Love is sooooo bad at Twitter! She's a rambling, incoherent, crazy-making mess - which I guess is the same thing everyone always says about her, but I've never said that about her! Back when I used to get paid to sit at a desk, I'd spend so much time painstakingly deciphering her higgledy-piggledy posts on the Hole message board, and it was good. Now I'm too busy to bother, and usually end up just scrolling past CL's tweets so I can get to such Brody Jenner-authored gems as "Hahahahaha nick is drinking his drink while he is passed out!!!!!" (Wow! V. impressive, Nick!) Maybe that's what growing up is: ditching your idols in favor of dude-celubantes simply because the latter can somehow spell way better. I'm totally sad right now. (Liz)
SNOOP DOGG
I wasn't even going to put Snoop on here because his Twitter actually hasn't been super-interesting for about a year now. But it's kind of worth it to know the exact moment when Snoop is getting high. Or when he tweets something like "mad love to everyone out here itz gonna be a dope dizzay," it just warms my heart. (Kat)
SPEIDI
Let's be honest- I'm not exactly the posterchild for sanity here. Still, I am genuinely surprised that I've managed to exert enough self-control not to have murdered anybody by the age of twenty-three. God! I can be such a Normie sometimes! I think it is time for this dry spell to end. I think it is time for me to kill Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt. Why is every Heidi Montag Twitter something along the lines of "wow i love life! thank you God!!" or "thank you Jesus!!" or "getting my hair done"? Why is every Spencer Pratt Twitter something along the lines of "i love the weekend!" or "everyday my hustle grows more powerful! the invisible force!!" or "I love being married to Heidi!! Worlds greatest wife!!!"? Oh, right. Because they are MORONS.
PS: I highly doubt that Heidi Montag is actually the world's greatest wife. (LJ)
TRENT REZNOR
Now Twitter was totally made for a dude like Trent Reznor; he's a total Twitter dream. He twitters all the time, maintains a fine balance between daily minutiae and outside links, is surprisingly warm and funny, but he's also cryptic and just snarky enough to be entertaining. He misses his black American Apparel hoodie, goes to the premiere of Star Trek, gets engaged, complains about Apple and bestows big love on his touring band. He's like the perfect Twitter boyfriend, really. If only most dudes were this communicative in real life! (Kat)

Say something so insightful and witty, it will blow us away. (No pressure.)
Got something to say? We'd love to hear it! Name, email and "type in the weirdo drunken text" thingie are all required to comment; don't worry, we won't email you or anything, we just want to make sure you're not an evil spambot. Keeping in mind the good-times mentality we like to keep going here, we've worked hard to keep NOGOODFORME.COM as fun as possible. We welcome all kinds of comments, but insults/abuse/general bitchery are not tolerated. In other words, we put the smackdown on evil troll posts. If you want to be a hater, please go elsewhere. Now, as Salt 'N Pepa say, "Only the sexy people..."

1. Yes- she looks cooler to me in her mug shot than she ever has not in her mug shot, which is not that surprising to me.
2. Speidi is eating Taco Bell.
