It takes a special kind of celebrity to let go of their daily self-promotional twitter rituals and involve themselves in the political news of the day. Here’s what a handful of actors, commentators and reality stars tweeted last night:
Vinny Guadagnino, ‘Jersey Shore’ (@VINNYGUADAGNINO)
I think at the #sotu, if the president just got up there and said ‘We’re [expletive]’ he’d get more votes. Hey at least he’d be telling the truth.
Tim Roth, ‘Lie to Me’ (@TimRothLieToMe)
Funny thing in state of the union... Dens and GOP...are all sitting mixed for the first time.. AWKWARD!!?
Michael Ian Black, ‘Reno 911’ and ‘Backwash’ (@michaelianblack)
People seem to like the president a lot better to his face. #sotu
Lo Bosworth, ‘The Hills’ (@LoBosworth)
Nice to see everyone in Congress so friendly for a change. Maybe we’ll actually get something done!
John Hodgman, ‘Bored to Death’ (@hodgman)
I always thought Boehner’s tan was a vanity issue. But now I realize that it’s leather chair camouflage.

Hey Biden, I will give you $10,000 if you pick your nose right now. #sotu
Lisa Gastineau, ‘The Gastineau Girls’ (@lisagastineau)
Remembering the American Dream-and all of its possibilities-Both of my parents were children of immigrants,Russia and Sicily-
Adam Baldwin, ‘Chuck’ (@adamsbaldwin)
‘Prom-seating’ at #SOTU seems to have dampened all of the applause moments. No raucous cheering from any bloc...
Adrienne Maloof, ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ (@AdrienneMaloof)
I personally think it’s important to keep the hope - and I think that the #SOTU focused on positivity, motivation and forward-thinking.
Bill Maher, ‘Real Time with Bill Maher’ (@billmaher )
Obama: ‘We do big things’ - inspirational, sure, but,um, what was the last one?
Michael Ian Black
My prediction for Republican response: ‘I loved it! Wouldn’t have changed a thing!’ #sotu
Betsy Fischer, ‘Meet the Press’ (@BetsyMTP)
Does Michele Bachmann have a stage manager that can point her to look at the camera? #verydistracting
Keith Olbermann, formerly ‘Countdown with Keith Olbermann’ (@KeithOlbermann)
Did the Tea Party not spring either for a Camera Red Light or a combined camera-teleprompter? It costs $3 extry #sotu #InsaneClownResponse
John Hodgman
Why aren’t we also getting Snooki’s official response? Or from the cast of animal [h]oarders? Don’t other cable stations want to make money?
Eric Roberts, ‘Celebrity Rehab’ (@EricRobertsER)
watching WIFE SWAP during #SOTU. How bad a person does that make me? Both programs are tearjerkers & have heart.
