(Newser) – Twitter king Ashton Kutcher has threatened to turn off the tweets if the site goes ahead with a reality show, CNN reports. "I really don't like being sold out. May have to take a twitter hiatus," Kutcher tweeted in response to news that the microblogging site had plans for a show that would put people on the trail of celebrities.

"It's all fun and games until somebody gets stalked," wrote Kutcher, whose Twitter following has ballooned to more than 2 million. Wife Demi Moore, herself with some 1 million followers, likewise threatened to close up shop: "I hope this isn't true—if it is, our Twitter time may come to a quick and sad end!"

(NEWSER) - You know it's really over when a breakup affects a Twitter handle. So to make it officially over and done with, Demi Moore is no longer @mrskutcher, and is now @justdemi on Twitter. Though Demi and Ashton Kutcher announced the end of their marriage last year, Moore has been agonizing about her Twitter handle. She asked her 5 million followers for change suggestions, and discovered that many possibilities had already been claimed by others. (An imposter has already snatched Demi's old @mrskutcher moniker, but don't be fooled, warns MTV .) It was "so hard finding a name that was fun somewhat playful and available," she tweeted. So "for now it will be @justdemi. It could grow on me," she tweeted. More»
