Celebrity Watch: Margaret Atwood is officially everywhere, from Twitter to Rob Ford: The Opera and more

She’s all over your Twitter feed Atwood, with her 300,000-plus followers, is an evangelist for social media: at a recent tech conference, she declared that Twitter and the Internet boost literacy, eliciting many an OMG and LOL among literacy experts.

She earned her wings In Rob Ford: The Opera, which had a sold-out performance in January, Atwood was portrayed as an angel of judgment, come to show the mayor the error of his ways.

She humbles the Ford brothers After inviting ridicule for claiming not to know who Atwood was, Doug Ford was forced to admit that “she’s a great writer.” Sounds like an excellent book jacket blurb.

She’s bigger than Homer A new production of Atwood’s The Penelopiad, starring Megan “Anne of Green Gables” Follows, opened in January. (Short version: men are shitty; ancient Greek men are shittier.)

She’s the Che Guavara of the Annex Spacing magazine has sold more than 1,400 “Atwood for Mayor” buttons, and at last fall’s Labour Day parade, some marchers wore homemade Atwood masks.

She sells popcorn Even as Payback was screening at Sundance, Sarah Polley announced plans to direct a film version of Alias Grace. Atwood quickly tweeted her approval.

She’s an ice queen During a recent Arctic cruise, Atwood stumbled across a two-billion-year-old fossil. The trip inspired her to write a short story for the New Yorker about a woman who kills men and dumps their bodies in the frozen north. (Wait: what?)
