Just when we've finally gotten over the Kim Kardashian/Kris Humphries split, it looks like there's a new national nightmare to keep us up at night -- Ashton Kutcher has quit Twitter.
Deep breath. We'll get through this together.
Let's say you are enjoying a Whooper at your local Burger King when you hear the young married couple the next table over loudly debating the future of their union.
Do you A) stare deeply into your fries and wish you had gone to Arby's, or B) Tweet all the details of the emotional break up out to your followers?
Twitter user Andy Boyle choose B, and now we have somewhat epic account of the spat, which actually has kind of a happy ending.
Most of us with a bit of computer savvy can assign sounds to incoming emails or other online happenings. But what if you could assign odors to them as well?
That's the idea behind Olly, a USB-powered device which takes internet events and turns them into smells. A slide-out tray in the back of the device holds drops of essential oils, perfumes or even fresh fruit, releasing the smell to "ping" you when a particular event occurs.
While one would think Kim Kardashian's speedy divorce from human prop Kris Humphries would provide stand-up comics with easy punchlines, comedian Rob Delaney is taking the news in an entirely different direction.
In a column he writes for Vice Magazine, Delaney declared that he will be suing Kardashian and others for forcing a sham wedding on the American public.
Michelle Obama is officially Tweeting. While she may not have her own personal Twitter account yet, the First Lady sent out her first tweet on Wednesday night as part of her Joining Forces agenda.
GOP Presidential candidate Herman Cain may be best known for his 9-9-9 tax plan, but did you know he's got some serious vocal skills too?
After the Omaha World Herald found and released a 1991 video of the former Godfather's Pizza CEO defiling the John Lennon classic 'Imagine' -- swapping out the poignant lyrics about world peace for those about dough and mozzarella and anchovies -- Twitter users created the hashtag #HermanCainPizzaJams to suggest pizza-fied overhauls to other popular songs too.
Though it was once derided as a platform for oversharing geeks, Twitter's become so big amongst celebrities, we find ourselves surprised when a boldface name doesn't have a corresponding Twitter handle. Be-Kangol'd movie star Samuel L. Jackson is the latest celeb to join the social network, and signed up with a little help from prolific tweeter Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday's 'Late Night.'
The Occupy Wall Street protests are going strong in several cities, and now famous names are starting to get involved.
Gothamist reports that hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons guided Kanye West through the crowds of the Occupy protest in New York City's Zuccotti Park on Monday afternoon, but their brush with the front lines of class warfare didn't last long. After a brief cameo, both Simmons and West got into a car and left.
We predict this is one of the oddest stories you'll see all week: Ex-Weezer bassist Mikey Welsh was found dead in a hotel room last week, and in a strange twist, he might have actually predicted the date and locations of his demise on Twitter just a couple of weeks earlier.
On September 26, the 40-year-old artist posted the tweet below, saying, "dreamt i died in Chicago next weekend (heart attack in my sleep). need to write my will today." He even corrected himself in a tweet a little later, saying his vision was actually of the weekend after next. He was found dead on Saturday, October 8 in Chicago.
Love him or hate him, Kanye West will not be ignored. Case in point: since joining Twitter in July of 2010, he's racked up more than four million followers. And while some may be true fans of the hip-hop star, others follow just for the comedy -- intentional or otherwise.
Crooner Josh Groban has set the often-nonsensical blatherings to music, and The New Yorker has even turned some of Kanye's tweets into hilarious comics. So it makes perfect sense that someone would see fit to give them the needlepoint treatment.
