It takes a special kind of celebrity to let go of their daily self-promotional twitter rituals and involve themselves in the political news of the day. Here’s what a handful of actors, commentators and reality stars tweeted last night:

Vinny Guadagnino, ‘Jersey Shore’ (@VINNYGUADAGNINO)

I think at the #sotu, if the president just got up there and said ‘We’re [expletive]’ he’d get more votes. Hey at least he’d be telling the truth.

Tim Roth, ‘Lie to Me’ (@TimRothLieToMe)

Funny thing in state of the union... Dens and GOP...are all sitting mixed for the first time.. AWKWARD!!?

Michael Ian Black, ‘Reno 911’ and ‘Backwash’ (@michaelianblack)

People seem to like the president a lot better to his face. #sotu

Lo Bosworth, ‘The Hills’ (@LoBosworth)

Nice to see everyone in Congress so friendly for a change. Maybe we’ll actually get something done!

John Hodgman, ‘Bored to Death’ (@hodgman)

I always thought Boehner’s tan was a vanity issue. But now I realize that it’s leather chair camouflage.

Michael Ian Black

Hey Biden, I will give you $10,000 if you pick your nose right now. #sotu

Lisa Gastineau, ‘The Gastineau Girls’ (@lisagastineau)

Remembering the American Dream-and all of its possibilities-Both of my parents were children of immigrants,Russia and Sicily-

Adam Baldwin, ‘Chuck’ (@adamsbaldwin)

‘Prom-seating’ at #SOTU seems to have dampened all of the applause moments. No raucous cheering from any bloc...

Adrienne Maloof, ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ (@AdrienneMaloof)

I personally think it’s important to keep the hope - and I think that the #SOTU focused on positivity, motivation and forward-thinking.

Bill Maher, ‘Real Time with Bill Maher’ (@billmaher )

Obama: ‘We do big things’ - inspirational, sure, but,um, what was the last one?

Michael Ian Black

My prediction for Republican response: ‘I loved it! Wouldn’t have changed a thing!’ #sotu

Betsy Fischer, ‘Meet the Press’ (@BetsyMTP)

Does Michele Bachmann have a stage manager that can point her to look at the camera? #verydistracting

Keith Olbermann, formerly ‘Countdown with Keith Olbermann’ (@KeithOlbermann)

Did the Tea Party not spring either for a Camera Red Light or a combined camera-teleprompter? It costs $3 extry #sotu #InsaneClownResponse

John Hodgman

Why aren’t we also getting Snooki’s official response? Or from the cast of animal [h]oarders? Don’t other cable stations want to make money?

Eric Roberts, ‘Celebrity Rehab’ (@EricRobertsER)

watching WIFE SWAP during #SOTU. How bad a person does that make me? Both programs are tearjerkers & have heart.
