Hugh Laurie's fans won't receive many updates from him on Twitter.com anytime soon - he can't see the point of the social networking site.
The House star has acquired thousands of followers on the blogging site but he rarely logs in to his account because he "doesn't understand" the online craze.
He explains, "As I look around my friends' tweets I see banality on all sides. I don't understand the purpose of it."
But Laurie can see why his former Jeeves and Wooster co-star Stephen Fry is one of the most popular celebrity tweeters, branding his friend's comments "the absolute best - the cream of the crop".
He adds: "I think if people were able to take these 140 characters (allowed in each post) and develop a poetic Western form - a haiku of our own in which all human existence could be compressed into those 140 characters - that would be a satisfying thing, but that's not what I see when I read them."
