Mark Ruffalo has lost wallet returned by fan

Mark Ruffalo had his lost wallet returned by a stranger who contacted him on Twitter.

The 46-year-old actor – who played The Hulk in ‘The Avengers’ – left his wallet in the back of a cab in Chicago, but was delighted it wasn’t gone forever after a fan contacted him on the social networking site to say he had picked it up.

The good Samaritan tweeted to the star: ”I have your wallet. Found it in a cab in Chicago on Friday. Let me know the best way to get it back to you. Thanks.”

It took a couple of days for the actor to see the message, but he could barely contain his gratitude when he did respond.

He said: ”Thank you! Wow! Another point for the decency in people.”

The pair then reportedly exchanged a few direct messages on the social networking website to arrange the safe return of the wallet.

The ‘Begin Again’ actor later concluded: ”You are a hero!”

Meanwhile, Mark recently expressed an interest in appearing in a Hulk solo movie, and he thinks it would be particularly fascinating to explore the conflict between his character Bruce Banner and his superhero alter ego.

He said recently: ”It could get very boring to watch the guy who’s moping around who doesn’t want to do the very thing that we’re all dying to see him do.

”And so I think that’s the tough part of cracking that nut. I think that’s what’s made it problematical in the past. But I do feel like we’ve gained some ground on this new version of him, which has – he’s sort of turning to face himself, and I think the relationship between Banner and The Hulk as a conscious conflict, it could be really interesting.”

Alec Baldwin pays tribute to late co-star Elaine Stritch

Alec Baldwin has paid tribute to late co-star Elaine Stritch.

The 56-year-old actor has hailed the Broadway legend – who played his mother on hit sitcom ’30 Rock’ – as ”one in a million” in an emotional homage following her death at her home in Michigan at the age of 89 yesterday (07.17.14).

In a series of tweets, Alec wrote: ”A woman that I loved and admired, and a true one in a million, has gone to her rest.

”I’m sure that even God is a bit nervous right now. I love you, Elaine.”

He later shared a photo of himself and Elaine accompanied by the caption: ”Thanks to all who took time to remember the one and only Elaine Stritch…”

Alec was not the only celebrity to pay tribute to the great actress.

‘Girls’ star Lena Dunham also posted a suitably funny message dedicated to Elaine on Twitter, writing: ”Here’s to the lady who lunched: Elaine Stritch, we love you. May your heaven be a booze-soaked, no-pants solo show at the Carlyle. Thank you.”

Lena went on to post a photo of Elaine laughing as she enjoyed an ice cream to her Instagram account.

Mia Farrow also used social media to reflect on Elaine’s passing as she tweeted: ”I suspect Elaine Stritch won’t know how to rest-in-peace! Iconic entertainer, force of nature, my wonderful movie-mom.”

Jason Biggs apologizes for ‘insensitive’ joke

Jason Biggs has apologized for making an ”insensitive and ill-timed” joke about Malaysian Airlines.

The ‘Orange Is The New Black’ actor sparked outrage when he wrote on Twitter, ”Anyone wanna buy my Malaysian Airlines frequent flier miles?” shortly after news broke that a commercial plane carrying 295 passengers was shot down by a missile over the Ukraine on Thursday (17.07.14).

The 36-year-old star initially defended himself, saying he was merely a believer of the idea that laughter is the best medicine, after being inundated with abuse from his followers.

But soon afterwards he deleted the original post and tweeted: ”Hey all- ok, so- I am deleting my previous tweets. People were offended, and that was not my intent. Sorry to those of you that were.

”This is obviously a horrible tragedy, and everyone-including myself- is sad and angry about it. Sending positive thoughts to the victims and their families.”

The former ‘American Pie’ star added: ”P.S. No one is making me send these tweets- I simply understand that my comments might have come off as insensitive and ill-timed. For that, I apologize.”

This isn’t the first time the actor has caused controversy online.

He was previously criticized for the posting the following tweet after ‘The Bachelorette’ contestant Eric Hill died in an accident earlier this year: ”Crazy rule change–instead of voting off the contestants, this season #TheBachelorette gets to kill them off.”

Jason Segel quit Twitter over burrito row

Jason Segel quit Twitter over a burrito debate.

The 34-year-old actor hasn’t used his account on the social media website for over two years after he upset some fans of the tasty Mexican snack.

Speaking on ‘The David Letterman Show’, he said: ”It was 2am and I was hungry so I went to my kitchen and I had a choice between a burrito and a sandwich. I chose to make a sandwich; it was delightful.

”So I innocently tweeted, ‘Sandwiches are more diverse than burritos.’ For the next day and a half, there was a firestorm of debate. ‘You’re an idiot, you don’t know about burritos.’ And I said ‘I do know about burritos and if they get too diverse, they’re a wrap.”

When the things had cooled down, the actor posted a picture of him with a burrito and wrote: ”Ok. Burrito lovers. I made a giant delicious burrito. Get off my back. It’s still not as good as a sandwich. Sorry [sic]”

The ‘Sex Tape’ star – who still has an impressive 2.53 million followers despite sending his last tweet in April 2012 – also revealed some of his favorite types of sandwiches.

He said: ”A BLT. BLT’s the best sandwich because it can be eaten any time of the day … Tuna melt, delicious. Plain old grilled cheese – fantastic.”

Cheryl Cole takes new husband’s name

Cheryl Cole has taken her new husband’s name.

The ‘Crazy, Stupid, Love’ singer – who secretly wed French restaurateur Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini last week – kept her surname from her marriage to Ashley Cole for four years following their divorce in 2010, but plans to be known just by her first name in her pop career.

A friend of former Girls Aloud star told The Sun newspaper: ”Cheryl is very traditional and she is taking JB’s name going forward.

”She kept the Cole name after her divorce from Ashley as it felt like a backwards step reverting to [her maiden name] Tweedy. But this is a very different situation.

”She’s a traditionalist and this is the man she plans to spend the rest of her life with.

”For music, she’s likely to use just Cheryl for her official artist name in the future.”

While Cheryl will drop her surname for her music, she is expected to use her surname on ‘The X Factor’ – the UK reality show of which she has returned to the judging panel – and will be announced as Cheryl Fernandez-Versini by the series’ famous voice Peter Dickson when the live shows start to mark a ”new phase” for the pretty brunette.

A show source said: ”It’s certainly a mouthful, but it’s great because her return to ‘X Factor’ will mark a new phase in her life.”

Cheryl first sparked speculation she was changing her name after changing her Twitter handle from @CherylCole to @CherylOfficial yesterday (07.14.14).

The ‘Fight For This Love’ hitmaker is believed to have wed Jean-Bernard in a small ceremony of just four – which included her mother Joan Callaghan – on the island of Mustique, in the West Indies last week.

She took to Instagram to confirm the news, captioning a photo of a sparkling diamond on her ring finger: ”I usually do not discuss my personal life but to stop the speculation I want to share my happy news… Jean-Bernard and I married on 7/7/14.. We are very happy and excited to move forward with our lives together.. (sic).”

Did Calvin Harris dump Rita Ora on Twitter?

Calvin Harris reportedly dumped Rita Ora publicly via Twitter.

The superstar DJ, who had been dating the singer and actress on/off for more than a year, took to the social media site last week to announce their relationship was over, but Rita was supposedly unaware he was going to release the message and still thought they could work through their issues.

An insider told The Sun newspaper: ”Rita was left embarrassed when he tweeted that it was all over.

”She didn’t think he was going to make the announcement, so she was shocked.”

Last week Calvin wrote on Twitter: ”To address speculation — myself and Rita ended our relationship some time ago. She is a beautiful, talented woman & I wish her all the best. (sic)”

The couple first split in January for a couple of weeks after a huge row but despite getting back together their hectic schedules meant they rarely saw each other.

Rita, 23, had also been seen partying and cosying up to other men in Instagram photographs and spent time been in Mexico with friends including the R&B singer Khalil Amir Sharieff, who was arrested in Miami with Justin Bieber earlier this year for drag racing.

The source said: ”It was Calvin’s decision to end the relationship. They had been arguing for months and had grown apart.

”She was constantly posting snaps of her with other groups of friends and her trip to Mexico and photos of her with Khalil were the final straw.

”Calvin likes more privacy than Rita and he hated the extra attention that came with being her boyfriend.”

Since their break-up, Calvin, 30, has been spotted partying with a number of beautiful women and stars including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in West Hollywood.

Amanda Seyfried: Dominic Cooper romance wouldn’t have lasted

Amanda Seyfried doesn’t think her relationship with Dominic Cooper could have lasted ”long-term”.

The ‘Mamma Mia!’ co-stars split in 2010 after around two years of dating, but the 28-year-old actress thinks they were always too different to stay together for long.

She admitted: ”It would never have worked long-term. I’m too uptight for him. Or he’s too relaxed for me.

”He’s been with the same girl for ages. I hope they’re happy.”

The ‘Lovelace’ star also spoke about the debilitating effect anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) had on her when she was younger, admitting there were times she thought she was ”crazy”.

Speaking to the new issue of Britain’s ELLE magazine, she said:

”I feel terrible for the younger me, because I thought I was crazy. Where was the fear coming from? It doesn’t make any sense.

”It becomes physical – I would get dizzy and cry and the lights were too bright.

”I had my anxiety and my OCD – a lot of kids have it. You’re afraid of it; you’re afraid of your brain.”

And the stunning star – who is dating actor Justin Long – also admitted to having insecurities about her looks.

She said: ”I would be lying if I said I wasn’t constantly aware of what I’m doing with my body.

”I don’t have to look like a supermodel. I don’t have to have those abs – the camera doesn’t see that. But because we have all been designed to want these things, I’m a victim of this stuff, too.”

Oscars selfie ‘breaks’ twitter

The star-studded Oscars audience ”broke twitter” last night (03.02.14).

A ‘selfie’ picture organized by Academy Awards host Ellen DeGeneres, who handed her phone to Bradley Cooper to take the photo, became the most retweeted post ever on the social networking website, amassing over 1.1 million reposts in just half an hour.

As well as Ellen and Bradley, Jennifer Lawrence, Jared Leto, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Kevin Spacey, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Lupita Nyong’o and her brother Peter all crammed into the photograph, much to the excitement of fans.

However, the website was then hit by technical difficulties which prevented further retweets, and Ellen told the audience at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre: ”So this is true. We just crashed Twitter. We got an email from Twitter, and we crashed and broke Twitter. We have made history. See, Meryl, what we did? You and I? It’s amazing, we really just made history. It’s fantastic.

”It’s back up again and it has the most retweets ever–and we’re all winners tonight, that’s what it means, that’s what I was trying to say early on.”

However, Ellen poked fun at ‘American Hustle’ star Bradley insisting they could have crammed even more stars into the photo if his body was different.

Posting the photo, she wrote: ”If only Bradley’s arm was longer. Best photo ever. #Oscar.”

The 56-year-old star was a hit as Oscars host, goading the audience with gentle humor.

Early in the evening, she said: ”I think you should think of yourselves as winners. Not all of you, but the people who’ve won before – you should think of yourselves as winners.”

She later added: ”Between all the nominees here tonight, you’ve done over 1400 films, 1400 films, and you’ve gone to a total of six years of college.”

Teresa Palmer gets married

Teresa Palmer has got married.

The ‘Warm Bodies’ star tied the knot with her fiancé Mark Webber, who she first started dating in September 2012, in a private villa in Punta Mita, Mexico, on Saturday (21.12.13).

She told Australia’s WHO magazine: ”Mark and I are thrilled beyond words to be married in a very intimate and spiritual ceremony. We felt blessed to be surrounded by just a very small number of best friends and family.”

The 27-year-old actress wore a white lace Pallas Couture dress, which was complete with shoulder embellishments while she and her beau took their vows beneath an altar covered in pink and white flowers.

The blonde beauty and the ‘Goodbye World’ star were reportedly keen to wed before their first child is born next year.

The couple originally met on Twitter after Teresa tracked down Mark – who has five-year-old son Isaac from a previous relationship – to compliment him on a movie he made.

She previously said: ”I looked him up after I saw the film he directed ‘The End Of Love’. We tweeted each other and actually fell in love over email before finally getting to meet face to face. It was almost like old- fashioned love letters.

”My family and friends really love him and I think he’s changed my perspective on a few things about my life.”
