0:00:05 > 0:00:07Tonight we're getting twitchy
0:00:07 > 0:00:11with 2011's most annoying celebrity tweeters.
0:00:12 > 0:00:162011 has been the year that even more celebrities have taken to Twitter,
0:00:16 > 0:00:20but who knew so many of them would be serving up such dire drivel?
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Here, with their very own dodgy spelling and grammar,
0:00:23 > 0:00:26are the year's top five tiresome tweeters.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30At number five, it's Mel B, who irritated us
0:00:30 > 0:00:33with this romantic tweet back in June.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41I actually got into a huge barney with Mel B this year,
0:00:41 > 0:00:47which was quite well documented on Twitter, but actually it was all sparked by this tweet.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51A whole load of victims of rape were really disgusted by it.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54It was just a ridiculous comment, and she has to be
0:00:54 > 0:00:58one of those celebrities who should just be banned from Twitter.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Wayne Rooney is at number four
0:01:00 > 0:01:02after he tried his hand at social commentary
0:01:02 > 0:01:04following the summer riots.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15I don't think he's one to be judging people on, you know,
0:01:15 > 0:01:18"Just cos you haven't got a job, you can burn down buildings."
0:01:18 > 0:01:21I don't really think he should be casting wider views on society
0:01:21 > 0:01:23when he sleeps with grannies.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27At number three, Duncan Bannatyne turned gangster
0:01:27 > 0:01:31after a mysterious Russian sent threatening tweets to his daughter.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43I was just a bit upset that on the new series of Dragon's Den,
0:01:43 > 0:01:47they didn't go, "And first in the Den tonight is Yuri from Moscow.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50"He's looking for £25,000 for his new kidnapping business."
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Imagine Duncan's response.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54At number two, 50 Cent managed to annoy us
0:01:54 > 0:01:57by making light of the horrific tsunami
0:01:57 > 0:01:59that destroyed parts of Japan in March.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09"LOL."
0:02:09 > 0:02:11If ever there was a time for an LOL,
0:02:11 > 0:02:15it is definitely when there is a massive earthquake in Japan.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18It's ridiculous. You'd think that somebody like 50 Cent
0:02:18 > 0:02:21would have somebody monitoring their tweets.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24There will be some checks in place, but no.
0:02:25 > 0:02:2950's 140-character thoughts might have irritated us this year,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32but that's nothing compared to bad-boy footballer, Joey Barton,
0:02:32 > 0:02:37a man who has undergone something of a Twitter-aided transformation in 2011.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Joey Barton - footballer by day,
0:02:40 > 0:02:44deep-thinking Twitter philosopher by night.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49It's like finding out BNP leader Nick Griffin is a reggae DJ in his spare time.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54Joey Barton, footballer, a man once famed for stubbing out a lit cigar
0:02:54 > 0:02:58in the open eye of one of his disbelieving team-mates
0:02:58 > 0:03:02has overcome a kind of cultural intellectual revolution,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04and become Renaissance man on Twitter.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11This year, Joey has developed the habit of quoting writers and philosophers in his tweets.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15When he fell out with his old club, Newcastle, in July, he tweeted the following.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25I don't trust Joey Barton's tweets when they're Orwell quotes.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28I get the impression he's getting these quotes off a website.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33I don't think he's trawling through Orwell's books, picking out a really meaningful quote.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Maybe the reason we aren't convinced by Joey's literary musings
0:03:37 > 0:03:41is because most of his tweets reveal a more basic side to his hashtag philosophy.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43He gets criticised once on Match Of The Day
0:03:43 > 0:03:47and he has a go at Alan Shearer's hairline and his shirt.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55He showed that he was actually, at heart, a real philosopher.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Jean Paul Sartre would be proud today.
