TWITTER RACE TO 1 MILLION FOLLOWERS: CAN KUTCHER BEAT CNN AND SPEARS?


The race to the one millionth Twitter follower has heated up. Pop star Britney Spears has decided to throw her hat into the ring, joining actor Ashton Kutcher and the TV network CNN in the battle to be the most popular of the Twitterati. On Wednesday, Spears’ manager, Adam Leber, tweeted on her account, “Let’s get Brit across the million mark! Tweet about following @britneyspears for a chance to win 2 tix to Brit’s concert.” Earlier this week, actor Ashton Kutcher announced that he will try to beat CNN to reach 1 million followers on the popular social networking site. Initially, he said that if he succeeds, he will “ding dong ditch” CNN founder Ted Turner’s house while shooting his next movie in Atlanta. (In other words, he’ll ring the doorbell and run, if he can even get close enough to the door of the mogul’s estate.) But over the past few days, Kutcher and others have upped the ante.
