There's a new Twitter queen in town! One year ago, Ashton Kutcher beat CNN in the race to 1 million followers and continued to have the most followers in the Twitterverse. Britney Spears has slowly been creeping up on Ashton's Twitter following and at the time of this posting, had 4,949,092 followers, while Ashton had 4,940,795.
However,u00a0 Britney doesn't tweet herself. Her team does it for her and her manager Adam Leber chimes in semi-often even though he has an account of his own. Brit also tweets an average of 1.7 tweets/day while Ashton averages 11.2. Yesterday, Ashton was at a press junket for his new movie called Killers. He tweeted, "Second most pop question [has been] 'What do you think about Britney having more followers than you?' Answer: 'I don't care. Aren't you supposed to be a movie reporter?'
