What legitimate famous people are on Twitter?

The Stephen Colbert twitter is infamously fake and now the Wayne Gretzky Twitter account has been revealed as fake. Which brings up the question, which celebrity accounts out there are legit?

Tip for best answer: M$2.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Legitimate celebrity Twitters include John Cleese, Shaquille O'Neal, Britney Spears, Wil Wheaton, Warren Ellis, Barack Obama, Patrick Wilson of Weezer and a whole lot more. You really just need to wait until an account is confirmed either via an official website link or by a press release to know that a Twitter account is real. Or you can follow them and hope for the best!

Depends on what you call legitimate, because Leo Laporte, John C. Dvorak and Kevin Rose are on twitter but are they what you consider "Famous". Felicia Day is an actress and she is on twitter.
