Celebrity Twitterwatch: Bird Brain Edition

Maybe the owl will chase you off.

Here at Twitterwatch, we use the 140 characters of Twitter to plumb the minds and souls of our favorite celebrities. And it turns out that some of them have birds other than the little blue bird of Twitter on their minds.

The closest I'll get to cuddling up to the hunk of my high school years.

New Kid on the Block Jonathan Knight looks exhausted. And I know how he feels. This summer I had an owl move into the oak tree outside my bedroom, and he was more reliable than a rooster for a 5:30 AM wakeup call. So I wish him good luck with chasing him down, because if he’s like mine, or the one at the top of the page, maybe he should just move.

Though one has to wonder if boy bands develop an unnatural aversion to birds for some reason. Westlife’s Mark Feehily seems to have an issue with pigeons. But if he’s in Tesco, maybe it’s Tesco that has the issue. Shouldn’t the pigeons be outside as opposed to attacking patrons?

It may not be a screech owl keeping Caprica’s Jane Espenson up at night, but she’s keeping the same hours as an owl thanks to jet lag. But the good news is she’s found a way to make the best of a bad situation.

Maybe she can play Monopoly with Aussie comic Josh Thomas. He’s up late, and feeling all alone. He wants companionship, but I think he’s so adorable he shouldn’t have to resort to paying for it, even in the dead of night. Jane, meet Josh. You two can play online.

But among the things he doesn’t like, Broadway’s Gavin Creel doesn’t list birds, jet lag, or being lonely. Frankly, he’s got a list of irritants that could fit just about anybody. Who knew gays were just normal people?
