Ashton Kutcher and Britney Spears are fighting to hit 1 million followers on Twitter. Britney currently has 912,520 followers and Ashton has 914,473. Both are competing with the CNNbrk account which tweets out breaking news on CNN.com. CNNbrk has about 946,673 followers.

If Ashton wins, Electronic Arts agreed to put the millionth follower in the next version of The Sims. Perhaps that will give people incentive to follow the That 70′s Show star. Ashton’s wife, Demi Moore has about half a million followers on Twitter, but keep in mind that she has already saved a life using the service.
