Celebrity Women on Twitter 2012

This year funny famous women have kept us giggling with their Twitter accounts. Classic comediennes like Ellen DeGeneres, Joan Rivers, and Kathy Griffin were joined by the new generation of humorous twenty- and thirtysomething celebrities like Lena Dunham, Mindy Kaling, and Rebel Wilson, and we even saw budding young jokers like Tavi Gevinson and Maude Apatow get their funny tweet on.

These ladies gave us chuckle-worthy sentiments on newsy events like the Olympics, the election, and hurricane Sandy. They weighed in on entertainment highlights from the hottest blockbusters and sexy leading men to The Bachelor. And they weren't afraid to share their witty, sassy, and snarky musings on the everyday challenges and quirks of being a woman. Take a look back at what these funny actresses, stand-up comedians, writers, and models entertained us with in 140 characters or less this year!
