Celebrities love Twitter and they use it just as much as (if not more than) your average tweeter. On Monday, August 5, they used it for a variety of reasons. The president asked for support, comedians did what they do best— made jokes, a few gave shout outs to their peers, and others shared emotions or opinions.
Here are the top ten celebrity tweets from August 5:
