Katy Perry is officially the first celebrity to hit 50 million followers on Twitter, beating the likes of Beyoncé, Madonna and Lady Gaga.
Katy used the opportunity to plug her boyfriend John Mayer’s re-emergence to the Twittersphere by urging her fans to follow his page that has been in a “coma state”.
However it doesn’t seem as if John was too happy about rejoining the social media platform, joking that he had “mixed emojis”.
A much loved and respected actor was lost this weekend and many of his fellow actors and public figures have been using social media outlets to voice their grief and dismay at losing Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Gwyneth Paltrow uploaded this cute picture of her laughing alongside Philip saying, “Philip was a true genius”.
Madonna took to her Instagram account to voice her grief, writing “Lost another genius! What a tragedy”.
Sir Ian McKellan’s touching tribute to the late actor featured an image of Philip and Natalie Portman shooting for the movie, The Seagull in 2001. McKellan talks about his regret at not meeting Hoffman when he came to see his play last month, saying; “Last month he came to our plays at the Cort Theatre. I wish, now more than ever, we had met afterwards, so I could have told him of my admiration”.
We can’t say we blame her for not wanting to be associated with this; such an irresponsible and odd invention. Due to appear on a Superdrug shelf near you, these weighing scales compare your weight to a celebrity’s weight rather than giving you figures.
So, for example if a woman were to weigh 8st, they would be compared to Cheryl Cole or Kate Middleton, 9st 2 and they would be compared to Rihanna, or if they were 18st, Melissa McCarthy.
Following bemusement and general anger from the public and indeed Ms. Cole herself, Superdrug issued a statement that withdrew the product.
Not only does this seem disrespectful to celebrities (not to mention they’re more than likely wildly inaccurate figures), it would have encouraged young, healthy women and girls to aim to be the weight of their favourite celebrity. Not good.
Everybody is different and weight is based on so many different factors.
Professor Green is known for his Twitter rants and this time was no different.
Following a report that his five-month marriage to former reality TV star Millie Mackintosh is on the rocks, Professor Green took to his Twitter account to vent his anger at the story.
Labelling the rumours as “absolute lies,” the rapper went on to say that: “a year ago id have lost my rag … amazing the difference a year and a healthy mind can make”.
We’re so glad you’ve matured, Stephen.
Lee Ryan has finally admitted that he might have been a bit out of line during his time in the Big Brother house.
The Blue singer was involved in a love triangle with Casey Batchelor and Jasmine Waltz and had them both in tears.
He took to Twitter to make a public apology, writing: “I’m sorry if I hurt anyone for what I’ve done…. I’m so so sorry.”
The 30-year-old claims he hasn’t done well in relationships since one of his exes broke his heart and now he is scared of getting hurt again.
When he spoke about his feelings for the two women, he said: “I got butterflies with Jasmine and she felt the same way and I know she did. But I was friends with Casey and I missed her friendship when we wasn’t being friends, and I think that’s what’s so confusing for people to see.”
Perhaps it’s true what they say – once bitten, twice shy.
Last night, singer Kesha released an update on her recovery from an eating disorder. Kesha has been in rehab for treatment since the beginning of January.
Speaking through a friend as she does not have access to Twitter at the moment, the singer wrote to her 3.5 million followers: “I’m overwhelmed to tears by all of the love, letters, and support!! I’ll be back soon and better than ever”.
At the start of the month, it was announced through a spokesperson that Kesha would be entering rehab for an eating disorder. The singer herself said, “I’m a crusader for being yourself and loving yourself, but I’ve found it hard to practice”.
Get well soon Kesha!
…little baby girl, aww!
Kelly wrote, “We just found out we’re having a girl officially! I knew it! Only a girl could cause this much drama with all this vomiting ha!”.
We all know the singer has had a tough time during her pregnancy, tweeting numerous times about her morning sickness, “Ladies if you r pregnant & sick as a dog trust me when I say the one thing u will keep down might just be “baked potatoes” #godblesspotatoes”.
Kelly also took a photo of her dogs and claimed the small victory of being able to walk them without puking. Poor girl.
Get well soon Kelly and congratulations!
Katie Hopkins has been talking again and just like every other time she’s done that, she has offended someone.
However, this time we think she chose the wrong girl to pick on.
No stranger to confrontation (Christina Aguilera, Lady Gaga), Kelly Osbourne didn’t react well when Hopkins made a jibe about her mother Sharon’s plastic surgery.
Kelly branded Katie a “hypocritical, vile creature” and warned her never to talk about Sharon again.
However Katie wasn’t quite ready to set down the wooden spoon and continued to stir. She took to Twitter to say; “Just like Peaches and Jesus, Kelly has done well due to famous parents”.
Kelly then proceeded to call Katie a C U next Tuesday.
Not pretty, but neither’s Katie’s attitude.
Shia LeBeouf has said too much again after revealing he had to send producers of the movie Nymphomaniac a picture of his, erm… manhood. Lovely stuff.
Wonder when they will reach the good ol’ reliable internet?!
This is the second time in less than a month that Shia has caused controversy after it was revealed that his new short film HowardCantour.com had uncanny similarities to animated short story Justin M. Damiano by Daniel Clowes.
Shia has also taken to Twitter, randomly apologising to Taylor Swift for nothing in particular it would seem. He also used a plane to write his apology to Daniel Clowes for the plagiarising incident.
All very strange to say the least.
