I'm a celebrity get me on Twitter

The Hollywood sign has inspired me to research if we know supposed celebrity Twitter accounts are really the celeb they claim to be! Forget the election in Tehran, this is the important stuff.

The good news is that Twitter is taking care of us:

Twitter this week responded to mounting complaints from irate celebrities with the launch of a beta version of Verified Account, a feature aimed at keeping celebrities accounts legit--or, in the case of MC Hammer, too legit.

Now said celebrities (a rather loosely defined category, seeing as how that Mashable guy is considered one) can sport a Verified Account button on their blog. READ THE REST

Before Twitter addressed this issue, http://valebrity.com/ did.  Either way, we know that this is really Al Roker attacking Speidi!
