What started as a simple bet has turned into a tweet-olution.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Nurse Jackie star Peter Facinelli made a bet with his friend Rob DeFranco that he would not be able to get 500,000 Twitter followers by this Friday, June 19th. The stakes? Facinelli's actor chair from Twilight if he loses and Rob DeFranco's Hollywood Boulevard dignity (video-taped dancing to Facinelli's famed favorite song "Single Ladies" in a string bikini) if he wins.
In support of Facinelli's movement, celebrities such as Ryan Seacrest, Demi Moore, Perez Hilton, Gil Birmingham, and Billy Burke came out in support with their own supportive tweets (see the photos below).
With 174,000 followers, Facinelli's time to meet the 500,000 goal is ticking down quickly.
Those who aren't already should follow Peter Facinelli on Twitter and help him meet his quota. The video that will follow will be well worth the effort.
