In my opinion the picture browser should be your homepage with a twitter stream running off in one column. Then people could click in to the twitter streams they were interested in. This is just a guess of course, but I've always felt like people like pictures over text, especially when it comes to celebrities. (For the record, I am almost assuredly not your target market; I have no idea who most of these people are with the exception of the politicians.)

  Was thinking along the same lines. As you said pictures seem to be far more popular.

    I have made photos as the main feature of the site now.

(Not your target market, but I'm sure with some work your site could be interesting to some.) 1. As someone has already said, feature the photos more strongly in your layout. Otherwise what you've put up is a little too like Twitter Lists, right? 2. Maybe make their name and photo larger (even if it means using a stronger photo that isn't their current avatar). 3. Upgrade the design - it's pretty bland and not very "celeb". Needs to be brighter and bolder. 4. You'll want to have more countries represented before plugging it to the public - I'm sure you could do a country per evening for a couple of weeks, just find a list of movie and sports stars, track them down online and get them into your database.

  1: Yeah. Will be doing so 2: In the photo view or the tweets view ?

    Tweets view. For celeb lovers, I imagine a big part of it is the vibrant looks and identities and small avatars might not really cut it. Maybe just use a larger version of their avatar because custom-creating your own adds more work you don't want to be doing.
