Twitter Alert

A round-up of the best tweets posted by celebrities on the micro-blogging website this week.

Atiqa Odho

Heartbroken as [I] went to the Faisal Base Karachi today, hoping to get onto an aircraft with relief goods, doctors, media for real life stories of people affected. But the airbase after committing transport cancelled [it at the] last minute. Hundreds of people in Jacobabad waiting for our arrival disappointed. No issue, tomorrow we go by road.

Karan Johar

[I have] been out of network for the past four days. Feel isolated but definitely inspired. I finally have page one of the film.

Priyanka Chopra

Feeling utterly blah and let down. Pulling up my socks and going to focus on work. That’s the only thing that stands by you unconditionally.

Jemima Khan

$200 million aid for flood-hit Pakistan provided by US. $20 billion compensation for oil spill hit Gulf coast demanded by US.

Fatima Bhutto

According to Twitter, Hugo Chavez has a BlackBerry. I feel technologically challenged.

Salmaan Taseer

What I liked best about Aisam’s speech in the USA was that on his triumph he remembered Pakistan proudly and flood victims too. Great!

Ryan Seacrest

Looks like I have some new plans on Wednesday. I will be able to introduce the “American Idol” judges panel. We will send you a picture.

Justin Bieber

You can’t play to rumours. You can’t let hate beat you down. You need to know who you are and kill them (haters) with kindness. Take the high road. Positive energy.

Dia Mirza

Best way to unwind after a tedious day, a game of Scrabble with Mom. Even more refreshing when I win.

Shah Rukh Khan

Was watching Karate Kid. Loved the film. Have been seeing all of them for years and they never fail to make me love kids even more.
