Draw Something maker Zynga added more than two dozen new celebrity names to their already large stockpile of prompts available in the game. Players will have a choice to pick any one of these celeb or TV show names when drawing for their friends.

Some of the new entries are meant to tie in with current pop culture events. Kate Winslet was included because of the 100th anniversary of the Titanic sinking, and Mad Men was included because of the new season of the popular AMC show.

"Every week, we rotate a bunch of new words through the game and take out older words. We look at music charts, TV, movie releases, and the like to take the pulse of what’s popular and include it in the game," OMGPOP CEO Dan Porter said.

Porter added there are about 20 celebrities in the game at any given time.

Draw Something has been complete smash hit, getting 50 million downloads in 50 days from around the world, and netting $180 million for the game's original creators, OMGPOP, after they were sold to Zynga.
