This was a fun week on Twitter as lighter moods prevailed. More celebrities are flocking to the site, which is a free service that allows you to keep the world updated on your activities. Generally, people seem to be kicking back, enjoying the slow slide into the hot summer months. Some new additions to the Twitter-fold: Gossip Girl Leighton Meester and singer Pink both signed up. Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag from The Hills got married and took a short honeymoon in Mexico, uh oh! Better hope they don't bring back Swine Flu with them.

Every week more and more celebrities are added to our list, and this week was no exception, with a few of the more exciting entries being Mad Men's Rich Sommer who will be tweeting the production of the upcoming season of Mad Men, actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt, celebutante Paris Hilton, singer Tila Tequila, actor Donnie Wahlberg ... I mean the list just goes on and on! Suffice it to say, no worries. We here at Film.com are working tirelessly to make sure we bring you the best of the best updates.
