Twitter king Ashton Kutcher has threatened to turn off the tweets if the site goes ahead with a reality show, CNN reports. "I really don't like being sold out. May have to take a twitter hiatus," Kutcher tweeted in response to news that the microblogging site had plans for a show that would put people on the trail of celebrities.

"It's all fun and games until somebody gets stalked," wrote Kutcher, whose Twitter following has ballooned to more than 2 million. Wife Demi Moore, herself with some 1 million followers, likewise threatened to close up shop: "I hope this isn't true—if it is, our Twitter time may come to a quick and sad end!"
