CELEB TWEETS
* Conan O’Brien (@ConanOBrien): My dog just informed me we’re acquaintances at best.
* Kat Dennings (@OfficialKat): Yearly Easter reminder that lilies are fatally poisonous to cats…even a tiny amount of pollen from them can cause kidney failure. Happy Easter tho.
* Julius Sharpe (@juliussharpe): The Young and the Restless gets really good if you can make it through the first 11,500 episodes.
* Keith Cooper (@KeithisaJerk): “Hollywood has no original ideas” the problem isn’t Hollywood. They make movies based on money. The fact that Everything Everywhere All At Once has only made 18 million total is proof that people are more interested in tights/sequels and remakes. Sorry guys. It’s our fault.
