Arianna Huffington Crowdsources Her 59th Birthday Party
Arianna Huffington’s 59th birthday has been nothing if not dramatic. The internet publisher returned to her birthplace of Athens, Greece before ending up in Dubrovnik, Croatia. What did Huffington do for the occasion? Whatever Twitter told her to.
A citizen journalism pioneer, Huffington naturally solicited restaurant and bar recommendations from her microblog followers. Then she enthusiastically visited three of them. If the seasoned socialite did so all in one night, count us impressed. And if she learns to be this polite to her staff, we’ll send a gift ourselves.

Club hopping, commie style. You can't eat at three consecutive restaurants, sooooooo.
I'm taking bets on the rehab announcement date. I've already taken August 3rd, 10:1 odds..

@MisterHippity: Well clearly his real account is "VernonTroyer_LittlePerson"
@DennyCrane: Just don't make the same mistake with AmyWinehouse_Sober.

@Ryan Tate: And here, I was thinking you just hated my comment.

When I first read the headline I thought this might be a scam by Hill; he wrote some inappropriate tweets so he disavowed the entire account. It all sounds legit after reading the backstory, but I wonder if this could start a precedent for other stars.
Btw, for the record, all unfunny/dumb Steverino posts were written by an imposter! Please report him if you catch him.

"Made the him," huh? It's a shame there's no edit feature on the arti—oh, right.

@MisterHippity: And all this time I was following "WillSmith_Straight" thinking it was really him. Damnit!

@fuzzywhat: He actually ruined that movie for me. I couldn't get past how unfunny he was and don't understand why funny people allowed him to be involved.
See, that's why it's good to impersonate someone like Dina Lohan, who is already devoid of any sort of positive reputation. No press is bad press, right? Especially when you never had any good press to begin with.
fake Jonah Hill hosted SNL last season and was funnier than the real Jonah Hill.

@HipHopopotamus: I hates him too. And he was really annoying in the otherwise awesome Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

@MisterHippity: Vernon Troyer's gonna be pissed when he hears about all the people fooled this guy's latest account, "VernonTroyer_Midget."
Ah, yes. Doug "Canadian soldiers are fags, yukyukyuk" Benson. Lord knows he has room to be easily offended by rude tweets.
How the hell did all these celebrities believe that a twitter account named "JonahHill_Jew" was the real Jonah Hill? I guess a lot of Hollywood people really*are* stupid.
Nice to see John Belushi's suit still getting work.

Man, do I hate Jonah Hill. And I didn't even know about his fake twitter.
Man, it takes balls to talk to Doug Benson like that. He has a prescription for marijuana, you know.
