The art of drawing portraits is not easy, as details are very important, but the art of creating representative caricatures is even more challenging. The artist will have a very developed sense of noticing the particularities of physical appearance and find a way of expressing them through artistic drawing or painting.

Funnymen (and Women) We’re Following Now

Sarah Silverman

The notoriously (and proudly) raunchy stand-up comedienne and star of her self-titled Comedy Central show puts out a consistent stream of quality, laugh-out-loud-inducing tweets. Silverman’s quips range from off-color observational humor ("You never hear the success stories involving autoerotic asphyxiation. #unsungheroes") to cutting social commentary ("All girls with fake boobs have dogs named after either liquor or cars."). Then, there’s also the occasional disarming personal revelation: "I’m pretty sure that people who romanticize sadness have not known sadness. I know… it’s not a competition." Her place as the comedy fan’s ideal girlfriend is cemented.

Jim Gaffigan

The quintessential Midwestern comic and food fetishist (and surefire hall-of famer for "Pale Force" alone) is heavy into sarcastic photon gags, but also dishes his trademark self-effacing jokes: "The blender I never use: The health club membership of kitchen appliances." Then, there are his social observations: "The Hummer limo is really the douche bag chariot." And, there are copious junk food-based riffs: "Pizza Hut: ‘Is the pizza good?’ ‘Good? They make it in a hut!’ ‘Um I think I’ll just eat at Radio Shack thanks.’" Often, he thoughtfully plays with a topic over multiple posts, showing comedy fans how a pro puts jokes together.

Neal Brennan

There were a few tumultuous years over which Dave Chappelle went from relatively familiar face to household name, and, then, just as quickly, fled fame to become a reclusive genius. When Chappelle walked away from his show at its peak, few people took notice of the other genius behind the scenes: Dave’s skinny, white, head writer Neal Brennan. His tweets reveal the origin of the show’s darker, more acerbic bits: "Looks like that movie ‘Old Dogs’ is about Seth Green getting raped/eaten by a gorilla while Travolta and RWilliams watch. I bought 100 tix." Others belie a clear-eyed view of the way Hollywood works: "Oprah’s 1st question when she interviews Sarah Palin, ‘Why do u think people like us even though we’re clearly both huge assholes? You 1st’" He’s so funny that we’ll even forgive his apparent obsession with ‘Jersey Shore’: "Snooki at the tanning salon: "Hey Jerk-off, make me look like a coal miner."

Rainn Wilson

Though more a comedic actor than a stand-up comic, Wilson still keeps up with the best of them and his tweets explain why he’s the standout comic force on ‘The Office.’ His tweets often have the mock-stern voice of Dwight Schrute behind them: "Want to tackle childhood obesity? Start with Fat Albert. You’re welcome, America."; "You know what the biggest cause of inner city crime is? Malarkey. Too much malarkey and shenanigans." His tweets also venture into the playfully politically incorrect: "Apologies 2 the blind who were offended by my last tweet. The Blind Side is actually abt the dangers of highway driving & rear view mirrors." And, of course, he’s not afraid to be obscene — in a good way: "It’s so beautiful here today it’s like angels are jizzing all over the face of Los Angeles."

Weird Al Yankovic

Once exiled to the comedy ghettos along with gimmick artists like Gallagher or Carrot Top, the patron saint of nerdcore comedy has finally gotten the respect he deserves for his three-plus decades of unparalleled musical parody. His tweets reveal why: Weird Al is a sweetheart but still has a wicked sense of humor. Gracefully predicting his recent Grammy loss to Colbert, he quipped: "Wow, this is so exciting – in just three days I’ll be losing a Grammy to Stephen Colbert!" He’s not above taking the piss out of the Governator’s puzzlingly still-impenetrable accent: "I can’t wait to see this "Abidah" movie Schwarzenegger was talking about on the Golden Globes." And he loves skewering pop-cultural dross, too: "Hey, @BillGates, you seeing this??? RT @ashleytisdale: went grocery shopping and now cleaning the house!!!!" Without fail, Al’s tweets demonstrate his keen eye for finding the ridiculous in our culture.

Brit-pop princess and original queen of MySpace Lily Allen has her own quirky sense of style. She’s not your typical princess of beauty, but her unique style and personality pushes her right into the top ten. A dotted Moonshine bikini would be a great match for her body type. She often responds to rumors through her new twitter account @lilyroseallen.

#9 Tila Tequila

If you’ve seen this MySpace celebrity’s reality show or music videos, you know shyness isn’t one of her qualities. A Victoria’s Secret Sequin floral bikini would be great for showing off her sexy assets.@officialTilaer is her personal twitter account where she says she reads and replies to all messages sent to her.

#8 DJ Tamara Sky

Possibly the hottest DJ on the planet…literally. Tamara Sky has been Miss Puerto Rico Bikini and was even on the cover of the Mexican edition of Playboy. A Vix Jen bikini that Sarah Michelle Gellar was seen wearing would have this goddess of turntables turning heads. Follow her tweets here: @TamaraSky.

#7 Brooke Burke

Recently, Brooke Burke won the 7th season of Dancing With The Stars and started her own online maternity store. It’s possible her days of posing for Playboy, FHM, and Maxim are behind her, but that doesn’t mean she’d ignore a comfy cotton Victoria’s Secret ribbon-trim triangle top bikini. As a modern mum she actively tweets on @brookeburke.

#6 Audrey Kitching

Alternative model Audrey Kitching claims she’s "changing the beauty standards one day at a time" with her clothing line at Hot Topic. We don’t know if she’d try on a pink & yellow Bubble Gum bikini, but it’d definitely match her her style. Her real twitter is: @RealAudreyKitch.

#5 Ashanti

When the "Princess of R&B" isn’t making seductive songs with her boyfriend rapper Nelly, she’s tearing up the runway as a model for charity. Who wouldn’t want see a music video with her in the Two Tone from J Valentine? Read her tweets on: @AshantiD.

#4 Taylor Swift

The New York Times described Swift as "one of pop’s finest songwriters" while we would describe 19-year old country star Taylor Swift as one of the finest girls on twitter. @taylorswift13 is her official twitter. We’d like to see her sport a saucy sequin silver bikini to add some spice to her innocent beauty.

#3 Jessica Alba

A Maya Signature bikini, or just about any other type of swimwear she’s been seen in, looks amazing on this Hollywood actress. Dubbed "Sexiest Woman in the World" by FHM in 2007, it’s safe to say she’s the sole reason Fantastic Four had a sequel. Read her daily tweets here: @RealJessicaAlba.

#2 Hayden Panettiere

Hayden Panettiere may wear a cheerleader outfit on the TV show "Heroes," but we all know a Vix Ju bikini she’s been seen wearing would be a better fit. It’s too bad those Neutrogena commercials only show her beautiful smile. See her twitter on: @hpanettiere, although she’s not been much of a tweeter so far.

Update: We’re now less sure this account is genuine which could disqualify Hayden from our top 50 list.

#1 Adriana Lima

The number one woman on our list, is perhaps the most obvious. If you’ve seen a Victoria’s Secret or Maybelline commercial, then you know Brazilian model Adriana Lima would look stunning in a Victoria’s Secret ruffled triangle bikini. Catch her tweets here: @angeladriana.

We couldn’t help but give Adriana Lima the top spot when her Twitter profile features such a hot shot of her in a bikini:

Lady GaGa

Lil’ Jon

Ryan Seacrest

Kate Gosselin

Snoop Dogg

Eminem

Tara Reid

Renee Zellweger

Mariah Carey

Ah, yes–the wonderful, magnificent “hand-bra”. There’s just something about a woman holding her own breasts that sends a magical lightning bolt of lust through any man worth his weight in Jergens. Maybe it’s that we want to put our hands there, or maybe it’s how freakin’ hot you look doin’ it. So get ready because if you’re already a breast-man, this could possibly be the greatest thing you’ve ever seen in you’re entire life. And if you’re not a breast-man, you’re about to become one. You’re welcome.
