Celebrity use may prove to be a big driver of general Google+ use. It certainly helped with Twitter. We live in a society that is obsessed with celebrity, and we tend to want to follow people on social networks who have updates that may be of interest to us.
Last month, we looked at a list of early adopter celebrities on Google+ and more have joined since then. Google’s Pedro Dias provided a helpful list including some that weren’t in the previous article.
The previous list included William Shatner, Britney Spears and Newt Gingrich to name a few. Here are some more (click on the images to go to the profiles).

All of the celebrities on this list are verified. Google announced late last week that it was beginning to verify accounts, starting with celebrities and public figures (though they will roll this out to more people in time).
Know of other celebrities that weren’t on either of these lists? Please feel free to share in the comments.
