Salman Khan

A quick update on what the stars are saying in 160 characters.

What do you say to a man who has 50,000 followers in the first week of joining twitterdom? And whose tweets are straight from the heart.

Sample this, "Didn't have a charger, sat with dad and crashed out, just woke up, having coffee and going back home, this tweet feels like an explanation to gf."

He even tweet a joke at his expense: "This is what Anita said very funny 'don't drink and drive... you might hit a bump and spill your drink" hehe heeeeee... keep smiling!!"

Or this one, "Feel like dracula, was painting till very late, now having coffee, going to the gym to feel n look like Dabangg and of to shoot. Guys all good?"

He seems to have become quite an expert in posting pictures of his paintings, his family and his dogs too! Check out this one on the sets of Dabaang amongst others!

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai

Fun times for Abhishek Bachchan. Maybe it will be a while before he surfaces. His last tweet says, "Hope the crew is well? Its Houdini time again. Have managed to abduct the wife. See you'll soon. One love!"

Of course, the plug of his new movie Raavan on his tweets has only just begun and his pals -- Genelia, Preity Zinta, all seem to love it! In case you haven't seen the promos or poster of Raavan -- check Bachchan Junior's twitter account for all the goss!

Even Hrithik Roshan seems to use his Twitter to clarify his stand when a city tabloid leaked the end of his film Kites.

"Friends, a section of the media has tried to sabotage my name all through the past year, I forgive them, today they tried to sabotage Kites by trying to give out the climax. (Though they got it wrong thankfully). I still forgive them. Just keep spreading love people, if you react, you make your world more negative... only love conquers... and only love remains.... have a great day!"

Talking about Salman's current girlfriend, Shah Rukh Khan on the other hand, clarifies there's no movie on the floors with Katrina and he thinks "Priyanka and Kareena act very well".

He also says wittily, "decided to stay back in Kolkata to attend the last match here. Slim hopes of semis became completely anorexic... sigh."

Picture this!

Shilpa Shetty

When they don't tweet, they post pictures -- and that perhaps is the best reason for reading celeb tweets!

Love Shilpa Shetty's penchant for pictures. Check these super awesome pics of SRK and Gauri, Arjun and Mehr, and the happy family partying after KKR's win in Kolkatta

Even Priyanka Chopra posted pictures of the view of Malaysia from her hotel, the swimming pool and her healthy lunch, and one with her pal as she shoots for Anjaana Anjaani even admitting, "Soch rahee hoon I shud get up from the pool side and go to work... What to do... feeling sooo lazy..."

Another actress who looks uber cute in her pictures is Preity Zinta. One with a himchali topi and the other with boys of Kings XI. The dimple is really flashing, isn't it... though I must admit, the lady does add fuel to the fire when she asks, "Every one keeps asking me if I should sell the team and some actually think I should. Do let me know your thoughts?"

Sush, is that you?

Sushmita Sen

If you are wondering if its Ms Universe on Twitter, then Ms Sen says interestingly -- "I've been getting a lot of 'is this really you?' msgs still :). I haven't verified this acc as yet on purpose,i want to see a little faith first :)"

Her enthusiasm, however, as always is infectious. Especially when she says, "The I AM She campaign is finally out! yippeeee:) Renee has passed with flying colours and is now in grade six :) Alisah called me Mum..ma once :)"

The sass in the tweets can tell you that its got to be Sushmita.

Boy Banter!

Imran Khan

Imran Khan seems to be having a laugh at Vir Das's expense ever since a city tabloid broke a story of the comedian enjoying a massage in Bangkok!

He says cheekily to Vir on Twitter, "Dude, what's this Mumbai Mirror story about you getting a 'special' massage in Bangkok? Don't you know the risk you were taking?"

Das replied instantly with a smile, "I wish. No massage, no special, no happy ending, no love me long time. Mumbai Mirror, Harry Potter, Oliver Twist, Moby Dick..."

As for Kunal Kapoor, he seems to have had the last laugh at Imran Khan's expense!

"Congrats man! Read the gud news. After Brangelina and Shoania, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Imrika. Like the good old punjabi's would say "mujhe ek baar Imrika aur learndern hokey aana hai"

Enjoy this banter!
