Is Will Smith using Twitter? The answer appears to be yes, but why then, aren't more people following? You'd think the world's biggest movie star using the world's hottest social networking site would attract more than the current 12,212 followers. Seven Pounds was bad, yes, but it was certainly forgivable. So what's going on?

We were alerted to Will Smith's Twitter page by the world's 1,498th biggest movie star, comedian Jeffrey Ross (smart enough to make RealJeffreyRoss to avoid confusion of this kind), who tweeted two days ago "But follow my boy @willsth (Actor Will Smith) Funniest guy on the planet." When Jeffrey Ross asks us to do it, we do, so we began following Smith who, according to his profile is--in the world's biggest understatement--"Not Your Every Day Man."

Ideally, the easiest way to find out of this was actually Mr. Smith would be by reading the man's tweets. Unlike say, Jim Carrey, Smith is a strong protector of his image, and wouldn't dare tweet anything controversial enough to muck it up. What's so confusing about this user's Twitter stream, is that just when a tweet has us convinced it's Will Smith, another has us convinced otherwise.

Tweets that make us believe this is Will Smith:

● "Who says sky's the limit when there are footsteps on the moon?" - Vaguely inspirational quotes that may or may not be original are a celebrity staple on Twitter. ● "My long time friend TI was released about two weeks ago. Just hung out with him last night! He's a good man ya'll." - Will Smith and T.I. appear to actually be longtime friends. ● "Happy Valentines Day. I wish everyone a safe and extraordinary day." - Well wishes to his devoted followers, classic Smith. ● "R.I.P Guru" - Paying respect to the fallen member of legendary rap group Gangstarr. Let us not forget that Will Smith was once a legendary rapper too. Solidarity, brother. ● "True love is like ghosts. Everybody talks about it but few have seen. I love you Jada. Goodnight Twitter." - This tweet contains that recycled wisdom seen above, a shout out to the wife he's been married to forever, and acknowledgment of Twitter as it's own entity, a God-like sentiment from a God-like man.

Tweets that make us believe this is a Will Smith impostor:

● "Taking Jada to Red Lobster for dinner tonight. What's a good dish there?" - Rrrrrright. ● "Just got an ipad. Jada convinced me. It's such a confusing device. Need some getting used to." - Tweeted on February 11th, not even Will Smith would score an iPad that early, unless he found one in a bar. ●"Watched Clash of the Titans tonight with Jada! Great Movie ya'll." - Even the man who made Wild Wild West would never call this a great movie. ●"The reason I posted that jazz clip is because I have important news. We'll be doing a grown up 2hour episode of Fresh Prince Coming 2011" - No, you're not. ●"@KristenStewartP just sent me one of her new pomeranian pups. It's such a rascal" - Everyone knows that real Will Smith and fake Kristen Stewart had a falling out last year.

So yeah, it's probably not Will Smith, but whoever it is added two thousand followers since yesterday, proving once again that when Jeffrey Ross asks you to do something, you do it.
