Word from one of the Twitter co-founders, Biz Stone (seriously — that's your name?), is that there's "no official Twitter TV show" and that the talk is all about a "lightweight, non-exclusive agreement" between himself and some TV producers.

Ja, I have absolutely no idea what that's supposed to mean — other than that the speculation is basically true, and he can't come up with an even vaguely comprehensible way of trying to deny it.

(Oh, and let it be noted that — difficult as it was — I valiantly steered myself away from any awful puns on the word 'twit'.)

Significantly less prone to making me scornful of celebrities, is Halle Berry. Far from twittering about her latest trip to the supermarket, this rather more sensible star is actually somewhat disenchanted with fame.

Berry says it's a real struggle trying to get other people to talk to her like an ordinary human being.

So, she's turned to that purveyor of all good things — the interwebs. "I never went so far as a date. But I've gone online and pretended to be someone else, in an attempt to have some anonymity," reveals Berry.

"I've tried, many times, to have a normal conversation when celebrity wasn't a part of it. Sometimes it worked and at others it became a little weird."

"The reason I did it was I wanted to remember what it was like to have a real, honest exchange with someone and to be treated normally."

Really, when you think about it, it has to suck never just being an anonymous face in the crowd.

And, finally, I leave you with this update from the ever-exciting world of Mel Gibson.

Apparently, being a very enthusiastic Catholic does not preclude knocking up your girlfriend before your divorce is even finalised.

Sure, Mel belongs to a breakaway sect of Catholicism — but I'm pretty sure that, when your main beef with the Vatican is that they're not conservative enough, you aren't going to be a fan of sex outside the sanctity of that legally-binding marriage thing. Or, you know, a fan of the whole divorce thing, either.

So, yes, it's been all over the news that Gibson and his new girlf Oksana Grigorieva are expecting a baby before the year is out (Mel's eighth child — he has seven with his soon-to-be-ex wife).

But, the real question is: Will Mel make Oksana the second lucky woman to wed the star who's just a six-pack away from anti-Semitism? Hmm, maybe — seems to be the answer.

"Who would do it twice?!" joked Gibson, when pressed by 'The Tonight Show' host Jay Leno. "A great question. I don't know if I'm gonna answer that."

Um, once again — I'm no theologian or anything — but I have this feeling Catholicism doesn't really go in for 'living in sin'.

That said, it did take them until 2000 to admit that Galileo wasn't chock-full of sin back in the 17th Century when he claimed that the earth revolved around the sun and not vice versa.
