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 asked, Soulja Boy Tell 'Em answered! Watch Soulja Boy Tell 'Em answer your Buzzworthy fan questions from the infamous MTV Studios green room, where he covered everything from the lines in his eyebrows (good question!!) to Barack Obama and Kanye West, the hater who inspired his "Yahhh!" single (thanks, dude, and no, it wasn't a pirate), his acting rising career, and even Tay Zonday of "Chocolate Rain" fame. (You forgot about Tay for a second there, didn't you? Shame on you!)

And -- spoiler alert! -- ever the hypeman, Soulja Boy Tell 'Em brought S.O.D Money Gang's JBAR along to MTV with him, so there's your two-for-the-price-of-one action for the day.

But did the ringtone rap kingpin/ phone freak/ Xbox aficionado touch upon that Bow Wow beef so many of you guys wanted to know about? Did he discuss the Soulja Girl of his dreams? Reveal a new Soujla dance?

Watch and see...

Sure he put out that iSouljaBoyTellem record back in December, but we don't need a special occasion to take a good long look at our dude Soulja Boy Tell'Em. Especially when we got the exclusive new MTV photos to share. Looks like that incredibly rude January house-jacking hasn't put too much of a limp in his birdwalk. He's dropped the granny BluBlockers and is looking tough as ever. Must be all them kisses coming through the phone this Valentine's Day, eh? Anyway, we're glad you're back to feeling as good as you look, Soulja Boy. Now Tell'em 'bout how you like those kisses again.

Check out Soulja Boy Tell'em's exclusive MTV photos.

Got a question for Soulja Boy Tell 'Em?

Like:

+ Is the name of your latest album, iSouljaBoyTellem, also an iPhone app?

+ Speaking of iPhones, does yours ever get all slop-nasty from all that slobbering and kissing through the phone?

+ Who keeps your brows so impeccably groomed?

+ Does your neck ever hurt from that sick piece? It's gotta weigh, like, five or six pounds, easy.

+ If you had to go up against Ice-T in a wrestling match, which move would you use on him?

+ What ever happened to the customized Soulja Boy glasses you wore to the 2007 VMAs?

+ What ever happened to Hurricane Chris?

Leave your question in the comments below, and I'll ask Soulja Boy Tell 'Em when I interview him this Wednesday, February 11!

Apparently #6 is NOT good enough for 50 Cent. After he came in at a respectable sixth place in MTV News' compendium of 2008 Hottest MCs In the Game back in May 2008, he totally pulled a Kanye West and got all crybabypants during a 105.1 interview with DJ Clue. (The interview appears to be from or around July 2008.) AND he called Sway a couple not-nice things, including, um, "a burger." (This, after Sway practically risked his life riding in 50's bulletproof Jeep!) NOT cool, brah!

Sorry, but it's not like 50 Cent got trumped by Soulja Boy! 50 was lucky to even get on that list after dropping an album that even he referred to as a dud. Righteous Kill came and went faster than Pam Anderson's average marriage, and talk about biting the hand that feeds you: 50 Cent ripped on MTV right BEFORE both entities premiered 50 Cent: The Money and the Power. (Granted, that show was, um, not renewed.) Next thing you know, dude's gonna be dropping deuces in your Vitamin Water.

50's Before I Self Destruct is one of the most widely anticipated albums of 2009 (though lots of anti-50 folk and former fans are looking forward to simply seeing if the album actually self destructs and turns 50 into the next Eminem -- unless of course Em can resurrect himself from hip-hop's boneyard). But if it doesn't live up to its/ 50's own hype, we may have more Kanye-level ranting to look forward to from 50 Cent. Strike up that Caps Locks button, buddy.

(Warning: Language!)

+ Happy New Year, and welcome back to reality. While you were nursing your TV hangover, Tokio Hotel's Bill Kaulitz was "chirring" in Ibiza and showing off some new locks quite similar to his twinsie, Tom. Aww! (Tokio Hotel Network)

+ Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz has much to be thankful for in the new year: his gorge wife Ashlee Simpson, their new little baby Bronx Mowgli, and his band's new album Folie a Deux. But his Internet rep does not make the list. And, frankly, he'd prefer if we all would just drop the whole "d-bag" thing. (The Superficial)

+ Speaking of fem hygiene, Amy Winehouse seems to have had that "not so fresh" feeling on her vacay in St. Lucia. (D-Listed)

+ Rumors about Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's relationship status are reaching a fever pitch, but the two are working overtime to make sure we know that they are still very much in lurves (note the rings!?). Glad we cleared that one up. (Evil Beet)

+ Britney Spears' big brother Bryan had a rockin' NYE: the dude got hitched! He married lil' sis (and lil' mama) Jamie Lynn's manager in a private ceremony in New Orleans. (People)

+ See if celebs like Fergie and Lady Gaga made the "best" or "worst" dressed list on New Year's Eve. (The Cut)

+ Soulja Boy, on the other hand, rang in the new year by gettin' robbed! At gunpoint! Thankfully, no one got hurt, but the robbers managed to "Crank" out $5,000 worth of jewelry. (Rap-Up)

+ Queen Latifah also got robbed ($10K worth of bling, yo!) (Us Weekly)

+ ROFL! This is *by far* the funniest thing we've seen in oh niners: some dude reading Courtney Love's MySpace blog out loud... word for word. For srs. JUST SAY NO, kids! (Perez Hilton)

It's not so much that words fail to describe the ridiculous next-level-ness of Soulja Boy's "Kiss Me Thru The Phone..." It's more that nothing quite does the trick like writing "amazing" 200 times in all caps. But that would be a super boring blog entry, so we press on...

Soulja Boy Tell'em's got a new jam called "Kiss Me Thru The Phone." Is Senor Sensitivo all torn up about a long distance relationship? Does he have social-anxiety disorder? Is he trapped under newspapers? Well, if you go by the video, it looks most like an ad for a pervy, forthcoming iPhone application that you pay for with giant necklaces. An application that makes it possible for gangsters and bankers alike to make out with their animal-print-clad girlfriends, no matter how many oceans divide them.

What's it really about? Tell 'em, Soulja Boy: "Basically, it's about when you been in a situation. Say you're at work and your girl was at work. You really wanna see her. You call her, you wanna kiss her. You want to get to her but you can't. You kiss her through the phone." Watch this video. It'll make you believe in love again. Even if you're trapped under newspapers.

Not to get all "Parents Just Don't Understand," or nothin', but what in the world are the words to Soulja Boy Tell'Em's "Bird Walk?" Even "Bird Walk" would be up for grabs if it weren't the title. "Every city inna club hooroda rimbay!" (Though, side note, Kings of Leon have no clue WTF Glasvegas is talking about.)

But, with a beat like that, who needs words? Especially when they're backed up by about 10,000 hypemen in various sports-themed scenarios doing high kicks, waving arms and swervin' they hips? Say whatever you want, Soulja Boy. I'm sold. Do that bird walk, nahhh! Grammy time!

Charles Hamilton puts aside his beef with Soulja Boy Tell'em for the moment to take on a bigger nemesis: The Beach Boys. Though he never explicitly comes out and says it, once you read between the lines it's so obvious that Charles Hamilton is throwing hand signals, insulting couplets and generally bad vibrations in the MTV debut of his video, "Brooklyn Girls." The Beach Boys, after all, are the sucker MCs who clowned "East Coast girls," despite digging those styles they wear on their 1965 dis track "California Girls." Stand down, co-writer Mike Love.

We'll see how that one plays out... Meanwhile, the Brooklyn MC is playing it cool. Just check his "Brooklyn Girls" video. The XXL cover boy and self-proclaimed Sonic the Hedgehog fetishist wanders around New York City in giant headphones, checking in on all the ladies and making all the smooth facial expressions. No dancing. No gimmicks. Just old-school real talk. Keep an eye on this one. And protect ya neck, Brian Wilson.

* Also hatin': David Lee Roth

In a bizarre attempt to "Christmas things up," Bush International Airport is installing karaoke booths for frazzled travelers to "enjoy" en route to their dysfunctional family reunions this holiday season.

At first we thought, file this under WORST IDEA EVER, after nuclear warfare and that Alli drug that makes you poo your pants 19 times a day.

But the more we thought about it, the more we realized that this was a gift of an opportunity for us all. An early Chrismakkuh pressie if you will. A chance to help out our fellow travelers ... with a list of the five worst karaoke songs in the history of the universe that you really, truly, for SERIOUSLY should avoid at all costs..

5. "Don't Worry, Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin: P.E.O.P.L.E. The title of this song also serves as all the friggin' lyrics. Have you noticed that? And do you know how stupid you'll look up there attempting to perform vocal percussion? Very. Very. Stupid.

4. "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor: Okay, we get it. You broke up with your BF (or BFF) and emerged from the ordeal shaken, not stirred. Overcame some great adversity? Aced your SATs? Bravo, really. But whatever your she-power achievement might be, you need to honor it with something WAY better and WAY more original than this one. How about: anything by Alanis Morissette instead? Or -- better yet -- NOTHING by Alanis Morissette!

3. "I Touch Myself" by The Divinyls: This one is kinda sad, really and almost exclusively within the domain of scantily clad house bunnies who've likely had one too many crantinis. A good rule of thumb is: if you are thinking of "singing" this song, don't. Ever. K?

2. "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston: This song should be outlawed at this point. Hells, Whitney herself can barely get this one out anymore. No matter HOW talented you think you are, trust us; unless you are Dolly Parton, you are not equipped. Just take a deep breath, put down the crack pipe, and remind yourself: Hell to the no.

1. "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen: For one thing, this song is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too long. Like, you will miss your flight while you're up there singing. Next, it requires an intricate range of vocal calisthenics which -- guaranteed -- you do not possess. Also, it was funny in Wayne's World, but not funny in real life, because you're not Mike Myers and it's not 1992. And finally, people will either be asleep, passed out, or homicidal by the time you finish. Don't do it to yourself. Don't do it to us. No means no.

+ Bonus: "Crank That" by Soulja Boy Tell 'Em: On this front we will be brief: "Supaman dat ho" is not a directive we would ever like to encourage anyone to repeat in public. Yes, we know this song was nominated for a Grammy, NO that does not change our opinion.
