Meet The Twitterati: Top 20 Non-Showbiz Celebs with the Most Followers

Published: Feb 25, 2010 - 10:00am

These personalities might not make a box-office killing, star in primetime shows or top the record charts, but they do have quite the follower flock.


1. HappySlip
Number of Followers: 53,666
HappySlip, Christine Gambito in real life, is the Fil-Am Youtube sensation known for her one-woman videos, some of which poke fun at Pinoy culture and practices. The name "HappySlip" comes from her mom's constant reminder to wear a half-slip, which she pronounces as "hap eslip." Christine says the name also reflects that she'd like people to "slip into happiness" when they watch her videos. Born and raised in the U.S., she toured the Philippines for 20 days in 2008 as a Department of Tourism ambassador.

Twitterati Trademark: Dishes the latest on her videos, replies to video comments and sometimes tweets about personal things like an emotional wedding that exhausted her.

Sample Tweet: "Glad to hear that some of you made some chocolate covered strawberries after watching my new video!! :-)"


2. Tim Yap
Number of Followers: 33,907
"Eventologist," TV host, club co-owner (Encore, Manor, Mansion and soon, Republic) and The Philippine Star's Supreme editor and creative director Tim Yap's latest endeavors are Tweetbiz: The Bizniz of Chizmiz, a showbiz talk show on QTV-11 and V Trends by Tim Yap on Channel [V], a show on pop culture.

Twitterati Trademark: Tweets his travels, happening parties, celeb encounters and spottings, and industry inside info. He also frequently gives away prizes such as cell phones and concert tickets in a contest section he calls #YAP4GRABS. Says the goal of his personal Twitter site is "to inspire."

Sample Tweet: "Maggie Wilson's engagement ring,a pink diamond from Israel has the words engraved, "Im yours!" Victor Consunji proposed in Bali last feb 13" and "For Sex And The City 2, Sarah Jessica Parker is carrying a proudly Pinoy Bea Valdes bag :) mabuhay ang Pinay!"


3. Georgina Wilson
Number of Followers: 32,056
The Filipino-British model currently stars with Wowowee's Willie Revillame in the biggest EDSA billboard near the Guadalupe Bridge. She was once actor Richard Gutierrez' girlfriend but they broke up because "long distance affairs are difficult." Rumors have been circulating that she's planning to join showbiz but she's "just trying to figure out what [she] wants to do," PEP.ph reports.

Twitterati Trademark: Tweets about her shoots, projects and loves, sometimes punctuated with expressions like "Stress Drilon" and "kalurky."

Sample Tweet: "I also think I'm way too addicted to my blackberry. U get nervous when it dies! I'm such a Crackberry addict!!"


4. Liz Uy
Number of Followers: 27,901
Stylist extraordinaire Liz Uy of Preview may not be an artista but she's certainly part of the showbiz world. Once the girlfriend of box office king John Lloyd Cruz, Uy styles her celeb friends, some of whom are also on Twitter like Kris Aquino, Anne Curtis and Georgina Wilson.

Twitterati Trademark: Tweets about Preview shoots and intern needs, fashion (naturally), and parties (her recent glitteratti birthday party was a trending topic among local celebs for a couple of days).

Sample Tweet: "Omg!!! I just landed and got word that my shoot tomorrow won't push through, and that's the only reason why I came back!!!"
