Twitter started out as a platform for young people to talk to each other. Then older tech dudes got into it, then celebrities like Ashton Kutcher, and now everyone from your mom to your middle school cousin has an account. But is it ever too young to start tweeting? (New York Magazine trend piece in the works??! Don’t steal!) Turns out: Not really, since most adults write at a 3rd grade level anyhow.
Tori Spelling’s 3-year-old son, Liam Mcdermott (@LiamsWorld), now has a Twitter account with more than 16,000 followers. He still writes cleverer stuff than most celebrities.
Comparatively, this is Jeremy Piven’s (@jeremypiven) most recent tweet. See what we mean?
Mariah Carey (@mariahcarey) acts all benevolent towards her clumsy help, but we bet she beat him with a blow-dryer after tweeting this.
So wait…Courtney Love (@CourtneyLoveUK) has a website entirely devoted to what she wore today? And she’s paranoid people are trying to steal her style? Oh right, forgot we were talking about Courtney Love for a second.

Celeb Tweetup: Youth Is Wasted On The Babies
It’s the middle of summer, which means it’s that time of year where the world’s wackiest performers use any excuse possible to act crazy on stage. Want to shower yourself with rainwater on The Today Show? Want to take your shirt off even though you’re too old to do so? Want to have balloons fly all over the stage? Not a problem. Such momentous moments in music as these occurred this week.

Weekend blind item! OK, here goes: WHICH once-promising, freshly single movie actor whose career has leveled off in recent years sometimes brags about his conquest of a past co-star who’s on the A-list and renowned for her beauty? A family friend of the actor tells Crushable he recently boasted about boffing the actress to a tableful of women and was “kind of a douche” about it.
Any guesses? Leave ‘em in the comments!

Blind Item: Which Movie Actor Brags About Sleeping With A More Famous Co-star?
Last night was the big night for Bethenny Frankel on Bethenny Getting Married? A 7-and-a-half month pregnant Bethenny walked down the aisle at the Four Seasons and (finally!) made it official with Jason Hoppy as his family, friends and Housewives Ramona Singer and Alex McCord — and their hubbies Mario Singer and Simon Van Kempen — looked on. But, not before she posed for paparazzi photos, broke down, told her maid of honor to chill out and peed in a bucket.
The night ended with red velvet cake that lived up to Bethenny’s very high expectations, Jason’s friends jumping in the pool and the happy couple jumping in a limo — not before Jason told the paps they were headed to St. Barth’s. That guy needs some more training, Bethenny!
Check out our gallery for further synopsis of the show — with Barbies!

‘Bethenny Getting Married?’ Doll Recap: Bethenny Getting Married!
Last night Crushable crashed One Republic’s Terminal 5 packed concert (which included star fans such as Lea Michelle, Jonathon Groff, and Ryan Cabrera). Before the amazing show – which included front man Ryan Tedder covering The White Stripes and Franz Ferdinand along with the band’s own hits like “Apologize” and “Secrets” – we spoke to One Republic backstage about their new partnership with Ralph Lauren’s Big Pony fragrance, for which they provided an alternative music video for their single “Secrets” with famed photographer Bruce Webber. (Video below.)
Did you know these guys had never heard of Silly Bandz? Luckily, I had a couple spare on me, and traded rhythm guitarist Drew Brown a few in exchange for a Natty Ice. “This is our low-budget rider,” Drew said, pointing to their small mini-fridge and tiny back room. Not like Steve Martin’s? “Ha, not at all,” said lead guitarist Zach Filkins. Other things I did not know about the band, which will be opening for U2 in Europe this summer: Apparently cellist and resident crunchy granola Brent Kutzle “smells like a beaver dam,” according to his band mates. Well, good thing they got tons of new cologne now. Some other highlights from the interview:
What love song does One Republic wish they have written?
Ryan Tedder: “Hands down, ‘Everything I Do,’ Bryan Adams.”
On Ryan’s personal style:
RT: “I’ve been obsessed with polo since high school. I grew up in Oklahoma, where wearing polo was considered being cool or alternative or something. Now 20 years later, I’m back into it again.”
On working with on the Big Pony campaign:
RT: “If Ralph Lauren calls you, can you really turn it down? The video captures the essence of American life that we all wish we could live for a day.”

Elizabeth Banks, who was totally snubbed for an Emmy nod for her performance on 30 Rock btw – reluctantly talks to Brett Gelman in this new Funny or Die original. For New York residents, Brett is probably most recognizable as the “Little Bit Of Luck” guy for the state lotto commercials. The whole video has that Between Two Ferns-feel, because the new funniest thing to watch is actors pretending to be uncomfortable. Oh well, better than the classic celebrity interview, right?

Guys, we’re hosting an awesome star-studded (imaginary) 4th of July party and the guest list is getting really big so we need your help cutting it down. We’ll of course need a variety of characters to help round out the bash, but too many of the same types could also lead to monotony. So come along, and help us decide who should make the guest list and who should be forced to watch fireworks from the privacy of their own homes.

Miley Cyrus vs. Carrie Underwood
With a hit single called “Party In The U.S.A.,” Miley clearly knows what this holiday is all about. As for Carrie, we don’t know, but she just really seems like she would <3 America.

Help Us Decide Who To Invite To Our Fictional 4th Of July Party
The Real Housewives of New Jersey (minus Danielle Staub, natch) hit New York last night to join Dina Manzo as she hosted a special performance of the Off-Broadway show she’s producing, My Big Gay Italian Wedding, to support Marriage Equality New York.
After the show, which stars Lance Bass’s ex Reichen Lehmkuhl and Anthony Wilkinson, Dina and sister Caroline Manzo, sister-in-law Jacqueline Laurita and friend Teresa Giudice hosted an afterparty at the Ink48 Hotel.
Marriage equality is just one of the causes Dina is focusing on now that she’s no longer on Housewives. Crushable recently spotted her showing off a red hair extension to support her charity Project Ladybug, which supports children with cancer and their families. She’s also heading to Chicago this weekend to take part in the Rally for Kids with Cancer.

Oh no he didn’t. Conan O’Brien used his Twitter platform to make a joke at Lance Armstrong’s expense. The offending tweet:
“Yesterday was the longest day of the year, unless you count the time I interviewed Lance Armstrong.” Not to be outdone, Lance swiftly replied, tweeting: “all you wanted to talk about was riding bikes and shaving your legs. It was, uh, slightly freaky.”
Conan responded that he was drunk at the time.
To be fair, it’s always about Conan! Lance probably couldn’t get a word in otherwise.
