Ashton Kutcher -- Twitter's top tweeter -- warned he may pull the plug on his tweeting if the micro-blogging service partners on a reality TV show.
"It's all fun and games until somebody gets stalked," Kutcher wrote in a Twitter posting late Monday.
Variety magazine reported Monday that San Francisco-based Twitter.com had partnered with TV producers Reveille and Brillstein Entertainment on an unscripted show that would be "putting ordinary people on the trail of celebrities in a revolutionary competitive format."
Twitter co-founder Biz Stone said there was "no official Twitter TV show" in the works, but "we have a lightweight, non-exclusive, agreement with the producers which helps them move forward more freely."
Kutcher used Twitter to post a link to a news report about the partnership along with this message: "Wow I hope this isn't true. I really don't like being sold out. May have to take a twitter hiatus."
"Five Killers" director Robert Luketic, who caught Kutcher's Twitter addiction, also suggested he would disappear from the Twitterverse.
"Ahh yeah. If this is true my shop is closed," Luketic tweeted in response to Kutcher's message.
His wife, actress Demi Moore, also threatened to shut down her Twitter account, which has more than 1 million followers.
"I hope this isn't true -- if it is our Twitter time may come to a quick and sad end!" Moore tweeted Monday.
