Britney passes Ashton atop Twitter
bombastis and fantastic super duper twitter followerhaha..just britney Alas, poor Ashton.
You may have beaten us to 1 million followers on Twitter, but that's so last year. Now, Twitter is Britney's world.
Over the weekend, the official Britney Spears Twitter account passed actor Ashton Kutcher's feed as the most popular on the microblogging site.
Both are closing in on a whopping 5 million followers - Britney had about 4,946,000 as of late Monday morning, compared to Kutcher's 4,942,000.
Her new place in the top spot comes despite the fact that Britney's feed, in contrast to Kutcher's ultra-personal musings, is largely filled by posts from her manager, Adam Leber, and other staffers.
She does chime in from time to time, though, with posts like "Happy mamas day ya'll!! -Brit," on May 9. The most recent Britney post on Twitter - where many popular users are always updating their status - is from last Wednesday.
There was no acknowledgement of the milestone on the feed.
On Kutcher's Twitter feed , he addressed the seismic shift in the Twitterverse by dismissing it.
He's been doing promotional interviews for his upcoming movie "Killers" and said that - behind "Are you having a baby?" - the most popular question from reporters has been about being passed by Britney.
"Answer 'I don't care. Aren't u suppose 2B a movie reporter?' " he wrote Sunday night.
Aside from the mind-boggling realization that Britney has at least 5 million fans, the most interesting aspect of the news may be what the numbers say about Twitter's growth - or at least the growth of its most popular users.
Just over a year ago, Kutcher and CNN's breaking news account, @CNNbrk, were publicly racing to become the first Twitter account with 1 million followers (that CNN account now has just over 3 million).
