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.”

Amanda Bynes: ‘I’m a hero’

Amanda Bynes considers herself "a hero".

The troubled 27-year-old actress had her first nose job last month, claiming she went under the knife to remove skin that was growing between her nose and her eyes, and after following up with more surgeries she has applauded herself for overcoming what she calls a "birth defect".

In a bizarre Twitter rant, she wrote: "I was born with a webbing in between my eyes. That was a birth defect that I had surgically removed! I’ve never been more excited!

"I consider myself to be a hero to have suffered 27 years with a birth defect and to just now have it surgically removed! I had to share my story with you so the media would stop using old photos of me and stop writing lies about me having odd behavior when I was just embarrassed to share the fact that I had a birth defect.

"My doctors are heroes who also correct kids who have cleft lip — something as traumatic as webbing in between your eyes! I wanted to share my story with you to prove that I’m not crazy, I was just embarrassed (sic)."

Amanda, who was recently charged with attempted evidence tampering, reckless endangerment and marijuana possession, has been open about her previous procedures, explaining she had them in order to "feel prettier".

She tweeted: "I had a nose job to remove skin that was like a webbing in between my eyes. Having surgery was the most amazing thing for my confidence!

"I wasn’t going to tell anyone, but I look so much prettier in my new photos that I don’t want old photos used anymore! I’m so sick of magazines and blogs using old photos! When will they stop? I will never look like that again!"

Amanda Bynes has another nose job

Amanda Bynes has had a second nose job.

The ‘Easy A’ actress – who was allegedly kicked out of her apartment in New York City on Tuesday (05.28.13) after being charged with attempted evidence tampering, reckless endangerment and marijuana possession – has confirmed she underwent surgery for the second time on Saturday (06.01.13), after being unhappy with her appearance in her recent mugshot, but still isn’t satisfied with the results.

The 27-year-old star told gossip website TMZ.com: "I’m getting one more in 3 weeks, they are short amazing surgeries done while I’m awake but under general anesthesia. It’s almost perfect."

Amanda has claimed that she wasn’t wearing a bandage during the healing process because her doctor told her it was unnecessary.

She explained: "I have no bandage on. It’s healing on it’s own like my doctor asked."

The actress attempted to shield her face from paparazzi in Manhattan over the weekend but said she will stop hiding once her nose "doesn’t look so awful in photos."

The ‘She’s All That’ star revealed she had her first nose job last month, claiming she went under the knife to remove skin that was growing between her nose and her eyes.

She was initially very happy with the results and shared the news on Twitter, writing: "I had a nose job to remove skin that was like a webbing in between my eyes. Having surgery was the most amazing thing for my confidence!

"I wasn’t going to tell anyone, but I look so much prettier in my new photos that I don’t want old photos used anymore! I’m so sick of magazines and blogs using old photos! When will they stop? I will never look like that again!"

Russell Brand spotted kissing British actress

Russell Brand was spotted sharing a kiss with a blonde British actress.

The ‘Arthur’ actor was seen smooching with BAFTA-winning star Sheridan Smith after his ‘A Night of Spontaneous Comedy’ show at London’s Soho Theatre Comedy bar on Tuesday night (21.05.13).

Sheridan had been in the audience at the show, and has also been spotted hanging out with Russell at a food festival last week, but denies any romantic link with the notorious lothario.

On the night of his show, she wrote on Twitter: "Just had dinner with lovely friends. And yes they’re wrong yet again. He’s one of my best mates Xx (sic)."

After the Soho Theatre Sheridan – dressed in a black dress and brown heels – was escorted to a nearby hotel by Russell’s driver, where she continued the evening in the bar. The comedian-and-actor – who was divorced from singer Katy Perry last year – followed her a short time later.

Sheridan – who last had a short relationship with film director Reg Traviss – claimed last month she has never been on a date, saying: "I’ve just filmed a drama called ‘Dates’ but I don’t think I’ve ever actually been on one

"I haven’t really been swept off my feet. I haven’t been asked out, or maybe I would go. Then again, the idea of sitting opposite someone and making chit-chat – that makes me cringe!

"Everyone is obsessed with linking me up but I’m alright at the moment!"

Despite them kissing, Sheridan denies she and Russell are dating.

Lady Gaga cancels Jakarta gig

Lady Gaga has cancelled her gig in Indonesia after receiving death threats.

The ‘Judas’ singer was set to perform in Jakarta as part of the Asian leg of her ‘Born This Way Ball’ tour but has now axed the show because hardline extremists complained her sexy clothes and dance routines would corrupt young people.

Islamic Defenders Front called Gaga a "messenger of the devil" and vowed to turn out at the airport by the thousands if she tried to step off the plane.

Minola Sebayang, a lawyer for concert promoters Big Daddy, said: "It’s unfortunate. But with threats if the concert goes ahead, Lady Gaga’s side is calling it off. This is not only about Lady Gaga’s security, but extends to those who will be watching her."

Gaga is "devastated" by the decision to pull the plug on the show.

She tweeted: "There is nothing Holy about hatred. We had to cancel the concert in Indonesia. I’m so very sorry to the fans & just as devastated as you if not more.(sic)"

Salim Alatas, of Islamic Defenders Front, said: "This is a victory for Indonesian Muslims. Thanks to God for protecting us from a kind of devil."

However, fans – who have been offered a refund – are not happy and think she has been treated very harshly.

Johnny Purba, 25, said: "This only shows to the world how weak security forces are in this country, how police are afraid of a bunch of hard-liners. Gaga’s two-hour show will not hurt Indonesian Muslims. For God’s sake, she is not a terrorist."

Gaga had previously vowed to perform a stripped down version of the concert, which was due to take place on 3 June at the 52,000-seat Gelora Bung Karno stadium.

She tweeted: "The Jakarta situation is 2-fold: Indonesian authorities demand I censor the show & religious extremist separately, are threatening violence (sic).

"If the show does go on as scheduled, I will perform the BTWBall alone (sic)."
