Ellen Barkin has whole heartedly embraced new media

18 hours ago, something magical happened.

Likeable Ellen Barkin, star of Ocean’s Thirteen, Broadway’s recent critically lauded production of The Normal Heart (and mother or two) decided to get a twitter account. Over the next half a day, that has turned out to be a big f*cking deal. (the words she would most likely use)

Some highlights of Barkin’s profanity laced ranting over the last day:

“And yes, this old white broad can use the word “brutha” cuz she’s from the muthafukkin’ Bronx. Straight up project style.”

“Someone just tweeted at me that I was an “endearing hot mess.” Whoever the fuck you are… I’m 57 years old, it’s only gonna get messier.”

RT “@brianaugust your fuck to tweet ratio is fuckin impressive” I fuckin love you, you brian fuckin’ august, you badass muthafukka.”

And my personal favorite:

“Fuck you twitter bird without a fuckin’ face. I just verified my own fuckin’ self:"

That's how you get verified on twitter straight up project style.
