Maybe he was kidding. Maybe he had a change of heart.

But here’s what Wil Anderson told TV Tonight on the Logies Red Carpet when asked if he was planning to use Twitter.

“I promised to be well-behaved tonight. I’m going to be professional. I’m going to get so drunk I can only use my thumbs,” he joked.

“No I was going to tweet tonight, but I was at the Pixies gig at the Hordern Pavillion the other night and I lost my iPhone. So at the moment I have a $40 Nokia, and there’s no capacity to tweet.

“A couple of the ABC people around the table have their iPhones with them so I think if the occasion arises, I may be able to hijack someone else’s phone.”

This week Anderson was the subject of media stories about some of his Logie tweets, but he can be grateful somebody else took most of the tweet-heat after he obviously found a working iPhone.

Maybe he borrowed one from Catherine Deveny….

  1. Twitter seems to be the new mindless thing for people to waste time on when they have nothing productive to do or nothing better to do.

  2. One of Anderson’s worst tweets was removed. It referred to a well respected actress and her resemblance to a character fro Lord of the Rings. It least he had enough sense to realise he went too far with it, unlike that classless Deveny woman.

  4. All of those ACA and TT stories didn’t try very hard to expose anything. I mean, if they really wanted to sensationalize the story they should have gone to Dan Illic’s twitter and found the pic Dan posted of Wil standing with an iPhone in one hand, and drinking from a bottle of wine in the other. They would have had a field day ‘Drunken Star Slurs Off Entire Television World!’

  5. Lol, he borrowed the phone from Dan Ilic from Hungry Beast.

    “At #logies on @danilic phone. They have put us on front table to cut down on tweets but we shall do our best…”

  7. I thought Wil’s Twitter posts were within reasonable limits, it was nothing worse than what was said on The Glasshouse. I certainly got a laugh out of them.

  9. If someone sits next to you on the bus and offers you their inane and meaningless moment to moment observations, you do your level best to get away from them. I fail to understand how the delivery mechanism alters this. Twitter is truly the most amazing piece of marketing in the complete history of things-we-don’t-need.

    Mind you, Wil’s moment to moment thought processes would be more amusing than the averages bear’s….
