If they have a blue check mark unfollow them.

Ok, are you breathing? Should we keep going?
Good, now that you've calmed down let me explain why I say that.
Unless your really into that celeb and care what they do with their life there's no reason to follow them. They won't follow you back, they won't answer your repeated messages to them no matter how cleverly written you think your message was and they won't like or retweet your posts, ever. So you're basically wasting your limited number of follows on them( yes there's a limit to how many people you can follow). If your a normal individual the limit is 5,000 there are circumstances that allow you to follow more people. Here I'll let twitter explain it. They do a better job than I can. Click Here. Wait! Come back when your done there's much more to learn my twitter cubs.
So how do you rule twitter?
Step 1
Follow people, real live people like you and me. How do I find these people you ask? That's a good question, I'm glad you asked. You can start by following your friends and the people twitter suggests for you, (but not the celebs, or at least not all of them) they do a good job of suggesting people. Once you get bored of that try searching for people that have simular interests to you. Search # tags. For instance if you like skiing search #skiing, if your into sports search #sports and if your into curly haired llamas with painted toenails, well I'm really not sure what you would search there but you get the idea. Once you've followed a good group of people with simular interests to you it's time for step 2. This is where you start getting followers.
Step 2
On average for every 100 people you follow about 10 will follow you back. Is there some scientific algerythem for this? Maybe! I don't know but per my experience that's what happens. With that math if you follow your max number of 5,000 people your only going to get 500 followers back. Dont get me wrong that's a great number of followers but we are here to be twitter masters. We want thousands of followers. Right? We want people to know how amazing our lives are( in 140 characters or less). Plus it's no fun just watching what other people are posting. We want likes and retweets and comments. We want to have conversations with people. We want to direct message someone and make a connection. In order to have that we ourselves need to be interesting and engaging. How do we do that you ask? First check your profile and be honest with yourself. Do you have intersting tweets? Are there eye catching tweets in your time line? If not get out there in the world and start taking pictures and tweeting them. Take picture of fun things you do. Take pictures of beautiful things, if you find something interesting tweet it. Chances are if your interested in it someone else will be too. Now you have a profile that people will want to follow. Time for the final step, and this is a big one.
Step 3
Start liking, retweeting and commenting on the people's tweets that your following. They will do the same in return and this is where the real magic happens. Every time someone retweets your post their followers in theory are your follows too. Let's say 40 (just a random number, not an actual number) of your followers see your tweet and 1 of them retweets it. Now 40(still a random number) of their followers see it as well. Thats 40 of your followers and 40 of theirs bringing the total to 80 (still random) people seeing your tweet, and if one of their followers were to retweeted their retweet the number increases. Every time the number of people seeing your tweet increases the potential number of people who will want to follow you goes up.
