Last week, we presented you with a few of our favourite stars who tweet (if you don't know what the heck we're talking about, go ask your kids.) This week, we're continuing the trend on the trend. Whether you love them or hate these celebrities, you're definitely going to want to start following them:

Twitter name: @rainnwilson

Real name: Rainn Wilson

Sample tweet: What kind of tattoo should I get on my pancreas? I'm thinking Norse runes that say 'rocky shoals ahead' or a mid 70s elvis. #internaltatts

Why we love them: Rainn's almost as wacky as his television counterpart (Dwight on The Office, in case you haven't been paying attention). This pleases us greatly.

Twitter name: @the_real_shaq

Real name: Shaquille O'Neal

Sample tweet: Hey mark cuban call shaq or email him

Why we love them: He's a totally endearing everyman. Plus, he refers to himself in the third person.

Twitter name: @stephenfry

Real name: Stephen Fry

Sample tweet: Trying to convince my body that it isn't half past midnight. Body deeply unimpressed to learn than it's only just gone teatime.Keeps yawning

Why we love them: The brilliant British comic isn't as funny on Twitter as one might expect, but he offers tantalizing glimpses of his constant travels via Twitpic (including one particularly memorable shot of the man in a skintight wetsuit).

Twitter name: @johncmayer

Real name: John Mayer

Sample tweet: Just remembered that Diff'rent Strokes episode where Arnold gets lured into the trap of a child molesting bicycle store owner. Thanks brain!

Why we love them: Is it alright for us to have a full-blown Twitter crush on this man's hilarious mind while still hating his music?
