These days, everyone who's anyone is partying over in the Twitterverse (bonus -- you don't even have to leave your couch!), and celebs are no exception. Also, if you don't know what Twitter is, a.) Seriously?!, and b.) Watch this.

Anyway, we here at Buzzworthy love Twitter because, well, we Tweet! But also, we love Twitter because the sheer entertainment value of following your favorite celeb CANNOT be overlooked. We've laughed, we've cried, we've poked our eyes out (after reading John Mayer's penis-falling-asleep Tweet) and attempted to set our keyboards on fire (ENERGY!). But we always come back for more.

So, herewith is our roundup of our favorite, must-follow celebrities who Twitter.

CLASS A CRAZIES: This group includes the "must-follows" -- the celebrities whose Tweets are so friggin' BANOODLES you simply cannot miss them.
+ Diddy (@iamdiddy) -- If you follow NO ONE else on this list, please, please, please follow Diddy. (LET'S GO, PEOPLE!)
+ MC Hammer (@MCHammer) -- Apparently he was hiding an early adopter in those glittery Hammer pants!
+ Shaqille O'Neill (@THE_REAL_SHAQ) -- Shaq lives in Twitteronia.
+ Snoop Dogg (@snoopdogg) -- His "izzle" talk just slays me every time. Occassionally Tweets while toking.
+ Steve Buscemi (@steve_buscemi) -- He hates penguins!
+ Solange Knowles (@solangeknowles) -- Love Solange, but when is she NOT Twittering. I think she's the sole reason Twitter keeps crashing.
+ Xzibit (@mrxtothaz)
+ Ryan Seacrest (@RyanSeacrest) -- Dude Tweets DURING COMMERCIAL BREAKS of American Idol! HOW IS THAT EVEN ALLOWED?
+ Lily Allen (@lilyroseallen) -- Lily still kinda hates Perez Hilton, and they are FOREVER back-and-forthing forever on Twitter.
+ Heidi Montag (@montagheidi) -- I swear to the Lord, you will S--T when you see how many of Heidi's Tweets are about Jesus!
+ Spencer Pratt (@prattspencer) -- Sometimes he's on the Bible train too, and he once even compared himself to Jesus. Epic.

FAMOUS BUT KINDA BORING: This group is dependable though almost never shocking. But they're all famous, so they've usually got somewhat interesting things to say. Just don't expect ALL CAPS Diddy rants or Lily Allen vs. Perez Hilton feuds):
+ Britney Spears (@britneyspears) -- Sometimes Britney's team posts for her, but this is still a good one.
+ Selena Gomez (@selenagomez) -- Yay, Selena!
+ Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) -- Demi and Selena leave each other little Twitter notes. 'Scute!
+ Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) -- W00t Taylor! Predictably, Taylor Swift's Tweets are sweet.
+ Dave Matthews (@davejmatthews)
+ Soulja Boy Tell 'Em (@souljaboytellem) -- Mostly Soulja wants you to click on shiz for him and make him more famous. Soulja Boy also Tweets his beef with 50 Cent. (That was one of the weirdest sentences I've ever typed.)
+ Dave Navarro (@davenavarro6767) -- Tweets about being bored and playing video games. Fair enough, we say!
+ John Mayer (@johncmayer) -- He's become a bit of a mad Twitterer lately, and I'm actually a little tempted to move him to the above category. He once Tweeted about his penis falling asleep.
+ Sara Bareilles (@SaraBareilles) -- Sara Bareilles really needs to Twitter more.
+ Mark Hoppus (@markhoppus) -- He's been Tweeting about blink's new album a lot.
+ A Cursive Memory (@acursivememory) -- They really need to Tweet more.
+ Simon Curtis (@simoncurtis) -- Yay! We LOVE Simon Curtis! Posts fun pix of his trips.
+ Regina Spektor (@reginaspektor)
+ Liam Gallagher (@liamgallagher) -- Surprisingly, this feed is not so crazy. Bummer.
+ LeAnn Rimes (@leannrimes)
+ DJ AM (@DJ_AM)
+ REM (@remhq)
+ Duran Duran (@duranduran) -- Yes, they ARE still around!
+ Nick Cannon (@nickcannon4real) -- Mr. Mariah Carey is livin' large in the Twitterverse too.
+ William Beckett (@billbeckett)
+ Bjork (@bjork) -- Hers are crappy, unfortunately.
+ Four Year Strong (@fys)
+ Janelle Monae (@janellemonae)
+ Katy Perry (@katyperry) -- More exciting IRL than on Twitter. Oh wells.
+ Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) -- Ditto. Lady Gaga's Twitter sorta reeks of label Tweeting.
+ Ingrid Michaelson (@ingridmusic) -- Hers are cool and make me wanna hang out with her even more than I already do.
+ Cinema Bizarre (@cinemabizarre) -- Lady Gaga's German tourmates are also Twittering!

More celebrities on Twitter after the jump!

You GUUUUUUUYSSS! Can we all just agree to take a minute out of our Tokio Hotel new-album vigil and direct our "augen" over to the photo on the right?

Also, I KNOW it's not TECHNICALLY a photo of Bill Kaulitz as a little "kinder" baby, but it's close enough. See, I was searching for photos of Bill Kaulitz for a Tokio Hotel-related video shoot that I'm doing tomorrow (you'll see!!), and I came across this photo of BK. It was taken in Berlin TWO YEARS AGO (before Scream was even out! Do you even REMEMBER what life was like before Scream?) on February 12, 2007 at the Cinema for Peace Charity Gala. It's SO old-school! Ich liebe Bill's new look so much better, and I think he actually looks younger now.

Anyway, enjoy that little great from the crate, and now back to whatever it is you were just doing (I'm gonna guess... hitting refresh on the Tokio Hotel site!)

+ Bored? Dance, Tokio Hotel, dance!

+ We hear we HEAR that Madonna and Jesus Luz's steamy love affair may be taking a bow. (Limelife)

+ Photographer Terry Richardson can get just anybody to act filth it up for his lens. The latest to fall under his naughty spell? Gossip Girl-ies Blake Lively and Leighton Meester -- who share separate ends of a Twizzler -- and the rest of the cast. In the words of Tracy Morgan, "Somebody's gonna get pregnut!" (Rolling Stone)

+ My Chemical Romance to entire Twilight franchise: We're just not that into YOU. (Just to use that joke... again.) (MTV Movies Blog)

+ GRRR. That's it. Taylor Swift looks perfect absolutely 400% of the time. (Allure)

+ Yay, Kelly Clarkson! Woo, Glenn Cocoa! Kelly's new album, All I Ever Wanted, debuted at #1. Now let's just forget My December ever happened, mkay? (LA Times)

+ Will the new Jonas Brothers album be called Lines, Vines, And Trying Times? (Buzzworthy!)

+ Here's something gross enough to make you puke twice: Fred Durst is STILL TALKING ABOUT HOOKING UP WITH BRITNEY SPEARS! (MTV News)

Don't be fooled by the exclamation point, the quirky spelling, or the Rod Stewart haircut. Never Shout Never, aka Christofer Drew, isn't the next electrified Cali-punk neon band. His songs are constructed of the same chords and patterns as your usual Warped Tour fare, but Ingle strums many of them on a ukulele, often with very little accompaniment. And while he does have some faster songs, Never Shout Never sounds more like a folk-pop troubadour than a pop-punk troublemaker.

Of course that hasn't stopped Missouri-native Ingle from filling out bills with The Honorary Title, Forever The Sickest Kids, The Cab and Mercy Mercedes. Whether it's those connections or his irresistible heartsick yodel that won him a coveted slot at two of this year's Bamboozles, I can't say. But I can say that 2009 is gonna be a major year for this quirky up-and-comer.

Watch Never Shout Never's "Bigcitydreams" video below, and get acquainted with the most charming folk-popper on the punk circuit.

The Internet knows a LOT of stuff. The problem is, not ALL of that stuff is ALWAYS right. (For example, I'm pretty sure, even though my inbox CLAIMS that I won £500,000, I actually probably didn't!) But, back to the Jonas Brothers. One of those things the Internet knows that MAY or MAY not be accurate is the potential name of the Jonas Brothers' next album, which may or may not be called Lines, Vines And Trying Times.

Nick Jonas apparently was quoted in the latest issue of Rolling Stone mag, "Lines are something that someone feeds you, vines are the things that get in the way, and trying times, well, that's obvious." Then someone did the math.

The Jonas Brothers have also been playing their new song "Poison Ivy," a lot, including at the Houston Rodeo the other week. It seems clear that "Poison Ivy" will be a single, possibly the first single. Will Lines, Vines, And Trying Times be the official name of the next Jonas Brothers album, likely out June 15? We'll believe it when we hear it straight from the Jonas Brothers themselves. (They seem to be a credible source of info!) Until then, stay tuned!

PS: The Jonas Brothers told E! that they weren't mad at their South Park episode. Maybe they took my Jonas/ South Park advice!

PPS: Check out photos of the Jonas Brothers performing in the Bahamas!

As you know, Ashley Tisdale is coming in March 23 to answer your questions. But can you count on her to answer all of them completely truthfully? Even the romantic ones? Probably. But just in case, we're also bringing V Factory for a Q&A sesh of their own! Although, something tells me you ladies will be more interested in a different line of questioning...

For one thing, the Disney-loving Bandemonium-alums who are single-handedly updating the term "boy band" to "guy group," are straight out of an Abercrombie catalog. For another, they've got a new(ish) single -- "Love Struck" -- making the rounds on Radio Disney. But most importantly, we've been keeping up with V Factory, clip by clip, in their exclusive Buzzworthy tour diary videos. And while those videos give you a taste of what life on the road is like for V Factory, they also happen so fast that they leave a lot of questions unanswered. Now's your chance to clear the air.

For instance, how did they end up playing a hotel Bat Mitzvah? Was it a "Super Sweet 16" scenario? Was there unspeakable brattiness? And what was going on with the surreal pink lighting?

Also, if Nicky T really did teach himself to dance in college, did he learn in his dorm? Did he get credit for it?

See?!? The questions are endless! So, start asking.

Hollywood Undead stopped by to MTV, and all I got was hit on by Funny Man, who made up a freestyle rap about me, which was nothing if not flattering. I mean, I've never been freestyled by a guy in a mask before!

Watch the organized chaos that went down when Charlie Scene, Johnny 3 Tears, J-Dog, Da Kurlzz, Deuce, and Funny Man tried to share a small couch in the photo studio of the 17th floor. And for those of you unfamiliar with Hollywood Undead, the six-man L.A. rap-metal band provides you with a Hollywood Undead 101 tutorial, which involves a crash course in their signature masks, nicknames and tattoos. And they answered the Buzzworthy fan questions you sent in. Find out what happened to Shady Jeff, what would happened if a girl ever joined Hollywood Undead, and hear what HU has to say about involving their fans in their upcoming "Young" video.

And, coming up in part 2 of Buzzworthy's Hollywood Undead interview, find out what happened once Hollywood Undead got their hands on a penis lollipop, and... Deuce gets a marriage proposal!

You'd like to think you know everything there is to know about The Lonely Island -- the three-dude braintrust behind Saturday Night Live's Digital Shorts/ your favorite viral videos like "I'm On A Boat," the jeans-soilingly hilarious "J--z In My Pants," and the ode to the surprise-inside tradition of gift-wrapping your junk that is "D--k In A Box" -- and their debut comedy album, Incredibad. But just because you know all the words to "Santana DVX" (and just because you camp out outside Akiva Schaffer's apartment, which you should definitely stop doing... oh wait... that's me) doesn't mean you know EVERYTHING about The Lonely Island.

Akiva Schaffer, Andy Samberg (who's hosting the 2009 MTV Movie Awards!), and Jorma Taccone sat down with me (well, technically I stood), and revealed the videos that inspired Incredibad, from R. Kelly's "Your Body's Callin'," to En Vogue's pants-j-ing "Never Gonna Get It" video, to the blessing and curse that was Snow's "Informer."

Watch them all below, or, if you'd rather click on a link than a button, watch The Lonely Island's Incredibad-inspired videos, with commentary right here.

For our latest installment of "Buzzworthy Twitters With," let's say twhello (AH-GAIN) to Diddy! Yes, we know that we just Twittered with Diddy, but this stuff is waaaay too good to ignore. Also, Diddy has changed his name yet again and would now like to be referred to as P Twitty.

Diddy's Tweets are in bold (and, increasingly, ALL CAPS), and our responses are in italics. We'd also like you to note that the timestamps for most of these are verrrry late at night. OK, buckle up because it's gonna be a srsly bumpy ride!

Uh, we didn't think you were drunk or high. But, uhm, not to push the issue or anything, but sometimes when people ARE high they get paranoid. And you seem kinda paranoid right now. But whatevs. If you SAY you're not high, then we t-o-t-a-l-l-y believe you. Diddy is DEFINITELY NOT HIGH.

Life is what you make it!!!! Don't stop!!!   1:30 AM Mar 15th from TwitterBerry

As reported earlier today on the world's best news site, allegations are flying around the blogosphere (let's please invent a new word for that -- Blogaria? Blogoslavia?) that buying Mariah Carey's wedding ring broke Nick Cannon's bank. Here's what our favorite stuntin' little punk had to say about that (via his blog):

"Ridiculous! I just got like 3 new major multi-million dollar deals in the last 2 months. And I ain't even finish yet... But now I'm broke, okay! Where do these people get this stuff? First off, I wish my wife's ring did only cost $500,000, that would have been a deal!

But one thing that is true, I would spend every last dime that I have ever made on my wife, she deserves to be showered with extraordinary gifts and as long as I live I will spend all my money on her and never touch a dime of hers."

Well, as everybody knows, the tattooed newlyweds are coming up on their one year anniversary and now Nick's gotta put his money where his mouth is. BUT WHAT IN THE HELL IS HE GONNA BUY HER?!?! I imagine that by now our boy is in an all-out panic, so let's all take a deep breath and help a neighbor out. First of all, Nick, here is a link to a valuable website. And now, a list!

1. The World's Most Expensive Computer Mouse: The best thing about this gift is that it's romantic. Another thing about it is that it's under $21,000, so you can get a few of them, because the #1 thing that all computer mouses (mice?) do is break. Ugh, so annoying.

2. The World's Most Expensive Nuts: They're called "Macadamia Nuts" and if you haven't tried them in a cookie yet, well, you deserve to be on the show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition with your host, Ty Pennington. These nuts cost about $36/pound, so prepare to cough up before you choke down, Nick Cannon.

3. The World's Most Expensive Bicycle: Can you hear this golden bike laughing at you, Nick Cannon? That's because it costs $102,418.60 and you can only fit one person on it. But if you think about it, this photograph would look much nicer if it included a gold bike.

4. The World's Most Expensive Particle Collider: At $6 billion, the Hadron is easily the nicest particle collider to own.

5. A New Ring. And A Baby: Make a girl happy, Nick Cannon.

GOOD LUCK, NICK CANNON! And happy anniversary to you.
