LaVar Burton! Just wish I lived near enough to LA to go see his new play.

Rainn Wilson

Adam and Grant from Mythbusters. They post photos of their current projects and of the humorous shenanigans that happen while blowing things up for science and curiosity. And Kevin Smith, LeVar Burton, Diablo Cody, Nathan Fillion, etc.

And the TWi_ group. Honestly, web celebrity counts for more than tabloid celebrity to most new media fans.

Haven’t been doing it too long, but so far @wilw, @BrentSpiner and @feliciaday keep me entertained
Dave, April 23, 2009:

So many. @theresident, @blurb and @dooce are pretty tops. @michaelianblack and Rear Adm. Monteiro Mike_FTW are killer too.
