Actor Ashton Kutcher, who beat CNN in a contest to become the first to amass over one million followers on Twitter, vowed to stop using the service if such a show was created. He posted messages stating "It's all fun and games until somebody gets stalked" and "Wow I hope this isn't true. I really don't like being sold out. May have to take a twitter hiatus."CNN: Kutcher Threatens to Stop Twittering Other celebrity Twitter users, including Alyssa Milano, Demi Moore, Kevin Spacey and Adrianne Curry also expressed their concerns over the proposed show.Twitter: Alyssa Milano Twitter: Kevin Spacey Twitter: Demi Moore Twitter: Adrianne Curry -
