After reading @JennyHolzerMom and @AuthenticWmGibson, I'm interested in other twitter feeds "in the style of" famous people. Any suggestions?
Noteworthy people parodying themselves are also appreciated.

Best answer: This isn't ongoing, but back in the day Werner Herzblog was fairly astounding, in a very nonchalant yet also touching and feeling way.

Pau Gasol belongs to the real Pau Gasol, but a lot of people like to read it as the abnormally tall brother to @NormalTweetGuy

Wise Kaplan and Cranky Kaplan (some background)
KimKierkegaardashian: "Worldly anxiety always leads us toward petty restlessness & away from the sublime calm of simple things. That's why I love a nude lip."
(That Jenny Holzer one is hysterical, by the way.)

Best answer: The Mockney Cook is a bang-on and often surreal parody of Jamie Oliver. I unfollowed the account though, because it posts constantly - to the point I'm beginning to wonder if it's not randomly generated from a spreadsheet somewhere.
