The twinkle comes from atmospheric conditions on earth, if lower in the horizon, then the twinkle is increased as the light has to pass through more atmosphere. Air pollution nearer urban areas also effects the twinkle. No particular stars twinkle more than others, it's mainly due to their position in the sky and local atmospheric conditions.
