The Week in Celebrity Tweets

August 13, 2012 By Calum Shanlin | @calumshanlin

As another week goes by, another one billion tweets are sent out (that's right - one billion tweets). With so many users it's easy to miss out on some of the goings on, which is where CBC Live comes in. Every week we like to round up our favourite CBC related tweets and 140-character gems from CBC personalities. Check them out below:
