ANGELINA JOLIE JOINS TWITTER.COM

Angelina Jolie has succumbed to the celebrity Twitter trend - she has taken over control of an account set up in her name on the social networking site.

The Hollywood actress discovered a savvy internet user had already acquired her name as a log-in, so she contacted Twitter.com bosses to have the impostor booted from the site and now plans to use the @AngelinaJolie tag for herself.

A source tells UsMagazine.com, "Jolie had her people obtain the account for her so no one else could have that user name. There was actually someone else using @AngelinaJolie but Angelina requested the account suspended and took it over."

But don't expect Angelina Jolie to tweet about her life with partner Brad Pitt - the blog will likely only be used to raise awareness for the star's charitable causes.

The insider adds, "If she uses it, it will be for charity-related items or sharing links."
