Hollywood’s First Tweets Ever: 17 of the Most Fun, Bizarre and Awkward 140 Characters

The social network celebrated its eighth birthday by allowing users to see their first Tweets, much to the chagrin of many Hollywood stars

How awkward was your first time?

For many Hollywood personalities, their first foray into Twitter was as graceful as bumper cars. For others, it was a goofy joke about their lack of computer skills. Whether it was funny, banal or bizarre, Twitter has provided a tool so they can always be reminded. To commemorate the eighth anniversary of the first Tweet, Twitter has introduced a #FirstTweet tool that lets users go back in time to their first post.

TheWrap thought it would be fun to review some of the most memorable Hollywood first Tweets.
