The Hudson Buzz can't possibly comment on every Twitter post by celebrities with connections to the Hudson Valley, but with the launch of a new feature — Tweets of the Week — we'll pick five of the funniest, boldest and best related tweets for your consideration.

At No. 5, Harriman's own Jermaine Paul tweeted a link to a Facebook photo of his July 29 performance for the Monroe Concert Series.

Paul earns bonus points for incorporating two social-media platforms with one post. Cheers!

Our birthday present to Bedford resident Martha Stewart is the No. 4 spot on this list. (It's a good thing.)

Stewart celebrated her 71st birthday at the Bedford Post Inn, which is co-owned by Pound Ridge resident Richard Gere. It's pretty tough to have a more dense combination of celebrities and local flavor.

At No. 3, Rye Country Day School alumnus Nick Kroll is disappointed in the range of a popular TV twosome.

As noted by a couple of his followers, it's equally frustrating that Franklin & Bash failed to qualify.

Earning this week's silver medal is Suffern native Dave Annable, who's got a similar case of Olympic fever. He also delves into dinner plans, and seems remarkably secure about doing so.

His reponse to Sports Illustrated's Jimmy Traina — who called it the "Saddest tweet I've ever seen!" — might be even better: "Oh, it gets worse... we sat at the bar."

Taking the top spot on this week's countdown is Annable's "666 Park Avenue" co-star, Vanessa Williams, who tweeted a picture from her middle-school days at Robert E. Bell Middle School in Chappaqua.

She says, "Yikes," but how adorable is she? It's the gold for Williams this week.
