Ashton Kutcher Pranks CNN

Tweeters in Atlanta received a big surprise Wednesday when Ashton Kutcher, along with Demi Moore, invited them to "ding-dong-ditch" CNN founder Ted Turner's restaurant, Ted's Montana Grill.

After the dropping off nearly 800 boxes of ding dongs, Kutcher revealed a second mission: dropping a huge banner with his Twitter name @aplusk over the CNN headquarters.

The prank was the result of a challenge between CNN and Kutcher to race for one million followers on Twitter. Kutcher will also donate 10,000 mosquito bed nets to charity for World Malaria Day.

If you missed the event, CNN.com posted video footage and a story.

Twitter users enjoyed the Kutcher prank:

Exclusive: Melissa Rycroft's Real Twitter Account

Yes, "Dancing With the Stars" contestant Melissa Rycroft has a Twitter account. And, no, it's not @MeLi_Ry or @MeL_Ry or @OfficialMelissa.

In a statement given exclusively to Breaking Tweets Entertainment, Rycroft has empowered publicist Penelope Jean to set the record straight. Jean says, "Someone is running a fake Melissa Rycroft account on Twitter. It is no joke as this person has copied all of her personal photos and videos off her Facebook page and are using them on the copycat Twitter account. The use of these photos is unauthorized and fraudulent."

Advocating for Rycroft, Jean says she is concerned because "this person is a liability to Melissa's good name and reputation."

Our research showed that some Twitterers have been duped by the fake accounts:

   MistralWinds @MeLi_Ry So, are you the real or are you faking to be Melissa Rycroft. 20 Apr 2009 from web in reply to MeLi_Ry

But others are actively working to spread the truth:

   Laurencoop16 @flgal44 meliry isnt realy melissa rycroft

Jean (@penelopejean) sought out Breaking Tweets on Rycroft's behalf because she wants "to stop this violation. This is what social media is for, what Ashton Kutcher (@aplusk) spoke of in his race to a million victory speech. Melissa has herself been fighting this battle. A few people are Tweeting about it. But the fake is talking with other celebs as if she is Melissa and that is deceitful and needs to stop."

According to Jean, Rycroft--who is also know for her appearance on "The Bachelor"--has only one Twitter account: @Melry217. You can see Rycroft say it for herself in the video below. Let the following and unfollowing begin!

The battle for one million Twitter followers

The battle is on to be the first Twitterer with one million followers. Ashton Kutcher is taking on CNN to see who can obtain the most followers on Twitter first. To help him reach his goal, Kutcher upped the ante, saying he will punk CNN creator Ted Turner should Kutcher reach one million first, according to a Washinton Post article.

The article says Kutcher is trailing by tens of thousands of followers, but he hopes also offering the game Guitar Hero to his one millionth follower will help his chances. He promised to donate to World Malaria Day as well, CNN reports.

Many Twitterers are excited about seeing Kutcher reach one million followers, while others find the issue rather ridiculous:

   mikeburnett Being Ashton Kutcher's 1 millionth fan or being a character in a Sims game - which is more depressing? 16 Apr 2009 from web
