Some Celebrities Will NOT Twitter!

Whether its about eating ribs in bed or comments about race relations, it's clear that number of tweet-crazed celebrities is soaring.

But some stars are rolling their eyes at the new trend.

"I'm afraid of the Internet. I'm too old to tweet," said Paul Rudd when E! News caught up with the stars of I Love You, Man at Austin's South by Southwest Film Festival. "So I don't tweet, I tw-t."

"If I didn't talk to you in high school, I don't need to talk to you you now," agrees costar Jason Segal.

And while some stars will tweet their exact location , Office vixen Rashida Jones isn't so hot on the idea, "I don't need to invite stalkers into my life. I just don't really see the point."

This could be part of a growing trend among celebs who were stung by the Twitter bug.

P. Diddy, who has been known to twitter about tantric sex and raucous parties, recently switched his Twitter to private, which means that only 107,356 of his followers will know when Diddy decides to party till 6 in the morn' or stay home and floss.

However, one high-profile Tweeter has become one bona-fide member of the Twitterati, actor and Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau. At a panel discussion for Rudd and Segal's movie, titled "I Love You, Man: Are You Saying it Enough?", Favreau applauded Twitter as a "grassroots" way to reach out to fans and generate word-of-mouth buzz for smaller movies.
