Celebrity Actor Lance Gross Takes Supporters Out to Lunch

Remember when getting a signed photo and a thank you note from your favorite celebrity was a big deal? You thought you'd struck it big to take a photo hugging him or holding his hand. Now imagine your favorite celebrity taking you out to lunch just from simply responding to a tweet. Actor Lance Gross (popular for his role as Calvin on "Tyler Perry's House of Payne") is showing his appreciation to Twitter followers and fans by taking them to lunch.

Apparently Lance Gross, who was also in the film "Our Family Wedding," tweeted about taking a supporter to lunch and Twitter user i_Tash reminded him. Her tweet said, "What happened to @lancegross taking his supporters out to lunch?? *cleared my calendar* #imjustsayin"

To her surprise, Lance Gross responded with a tweet, "Almost forgot that I said I was taking some supports out to lunch this week! @i_Tash just reminded me. So @i_Tash I'm takin u 2 lunch"

The amusing part was in her response. First reaction Tweet was o_O. Second reaction Tweet was "Pause." Third reaction Tweet was "Am I the only 1 that saw that tweet?? *rubs eyes*" Then, "Well Mr. @lancegross I'm there! :D" But the most amusing one was "Bout to go play the lotto!!!!"

While i_Tash was pondering on her luck, Lance Gross decided to take a second Twitter user out, which turned out to be Twitter user MizzMiranda86. Her response: "Woot woot RT @LanceGross: The next supporter is @MizzMiranda86 :)"

As great as the idea sounded, many may have wondered would he actually follow through. Both ladies are pretty and he may have had good intentions, but would he really take them to lunch? Like clockwork, the very next day Lance Gross did just that and proved it by retweeting a photo of MizzMiranda86 out with her friend.

His tweet earlier today: "I keep my word. Just left my appreciation lunch with @MizzMiranda86 & her friend @Keptup ! Very kool ladies. http://twitpic.com/29trp0"

And apparently he enjoyed himself because he's going to do it again. Ladies from Atlanta, get ready for Lance Gross to (maybe) take you out to lunch. His latest tweet: "Atlanta is next! I'ma take out 5 Supporters in atlanta! I'll let you know when I'm about to pick. It'll be the weekend of Aug 7th..." i_Tash's lunch date with Lance Gross will be coming up soon.

Now what could beat that? Mr. Gross is clearly gorgeous, newly single and appreciative of his supporters. What a nice way to end their Twitter Day!
