The Week in Celebrity Tweets

June 18, 2012 By Calum Shanlin | @calumshanlin

How do you use Twitter? Do you tweet a lot or are do you just like to lurk with the occasional tweet? No matter how you use it, if you follow CBC Live on Twitter you'll know that we like to share our favourite tweets from CBC personalities and keep you up to date with what's going on in and around the CBC, across the country. It's been a busy week in Toronto, with the NxNE and Luminato festivals taking over. The CBC crew in Toronto have certainly been taking it all in... check that out and the rest of our favourite tweets of the week:

Wait. What? It may seem like a while ago already, but it was only last week that the Kings hoisted the Stanley Cup in LA. Mr. D's Gerry Dee took in Game Six before heading back to Halifax to shoot season two of his hit show.

Read all about Tracks on Tracks - the amazing musical experience. We headed down to the after party and checked out the Tracks on Tracks showcase on Wednesday as part of Toronto's NxNE festival.

Rick Mercer was one of the lucky ones that got to enjoy a fantastic night at Massey Hall as part of Luminato. Her sister, her children and many more paid tribute to Kate McGarrigle at Love Over and Over.

The next day, Radio 2 Morning's Tom Power (and thousands of others) enjoyed Dan Mangan and Kathleen Edwards perform for free at David Pecaut Square. Tom was hosting the event.

Hundreds upon hundreds of Dorothy hopefuls have certainly done just that, all dreaming of meeting Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber further down the Over the Rainbow line. Good luck to them all!
