Twitter Tuesday: Bros, meet Chet Haze

The Twitterverse is a vast and vacant one, a expanse muddled with one-liners, chunks of internet "wisdom" and lots of inappropriate ass-shots courtesy of certain famous people's wives (we're looking at you, Ice-T and Coco Austin). So, how does one go about deciding which A, B, C (and especially) D-List...

The Twitterverse is a vast and vacant one, a expanse muddled with one-liners, chunks of internet "wisdom" and lots of inappropriate ass-shots courtesy of certain famous people's wives (we're looking at you, Ice-T and Coco Austin). So, how does one go about deciding which A, B, C (and especially) D-List celebrities to follow? Have no fear, fellow tweeters, we're here with new weekly recommendations for the best celeb and semi-celebs to follow and pretend to be friends with on Twitter. Our first installment is Chet (son of Tom) Hanks, better known as Chet Haze, the 20-year-old rapper and most prolific of tweeters.

Like many tweeters, Chet also tries to speak in truths (see above). Who doesn't agree that most modern day Biggie re-workings are whack? Even when Girl Talk lays B.I.G.'s "Juicy" over Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" it doesn't feel right. Chet gets that. Chet gets us. We get Chet.
