Ashton Kutcher is Some Kind of Twitter King

Aside from marrying Demi Moore and being in that movie where he married Cameron Diaz, Ashton Kutcher has basically just been causing trouble. Remember he took a picture of Demi in the bathroom and put it on Twitter? Well, apparently that worked because he beat out CNN for first Twitter-er to have over 1,000,000 followers. People has the breathtaking story:

For the past few days, he'd been locked in a race with CNN's breaking news feed -- (@cnnbrk), but just before midnight Thursday he became the first "Twitter millionaire." Around 1:30 he tweeted, "Victory is ours!!!!!!!!" and posted a twitpic of the win.

Kutcher says he's donating 10,000 mosquito nets to the medical charity Malaria No More to celebrate, and the video-game publisher Electronic Arts says the millionth follower will become a character in "The Sims." Plus, there's the promised ding-dong-ditch of Ted Turner's Atlanta home to look forward to!

Gee, first we had that historic Presidential race and now this? What a year it's been. Now if they'd only give Tim Allen another show where he gets hurt trying to build stuff. At that point, I could die a happy little boy.
