Celebs are all a-Twitter on IMDb

Date of birth, awards, filmography and . . . tweets?
The statistics and information available for various celebrities on IMDb.com, the Internet Movie Database, now include updated Twitter postings. As if the "trivia" section for, say, Lindsay Lohan wasn't trivial enough ("Is allergic to blueberries"), you can read her latest tweet. Here's one from Nov. 10: "xoxoxox."
It's another example of the Internet effect: These days, celebrity info must be updated by the millisecond and broadcast around the globe, no matter what its inherent value. Elizabeth Taylor recently posted nearly 20 messages in a row about "Michael Jackson's This Is It," all glowing ("I truly believe this film should be nominated in every category conceivable"). Donnie Wahlberg turns out to be a great communicator, with more than 3,600 posts so far, including this one: "Quality time with some amazing women!" Seth Rogen's feed, under the name Rogiddy, is so unfunny that it might be fake.
Also, did you know Neil Patrick Harris just joined Twitter? You read it on IMDb first. Or maybe on Twitter. Or here.
