Justin Bieber + Rihanna = Love? On Twitter, at least. The two started an online lovefest when Rihanna tweeted, “Justin Bieber just flashed me his abs in the middle of a restaurant! Wow! He actually had a lil 6 packs! Sexy, lol! #Beliebersplzdontkillme.” Knowing how, um, possessive his fans can get, Bieber (who was reportedly by Rihanna’s side, according to Us Weeklycame to her rescue, tweeting, “@rihanna never that. It’s always love.” We doubt the biggest Beliebers were pleased.
Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi was traveling for her birthday this week, stopping in Disney World with her new boyfriend, Jionni LaValle and her family. Although the Jersey Shore star initially claimed her new gorilla juicehead arm candy wanted to stay out of the spotlight, she eventually tweeted pictures of their Florida adventures, like this one from Animal Kingdom. “Riden the wild rapids with Jionni and Daddy lol,” the almost-birthday girl tweeted. Hopefully, for her upcoming 23rd year, Snooki gets some Hooked On Phonics products.
Getting ready for his hosting duties, perhaps? Just before the announcement that Johnny Weir would be the host of ABC’s Skating With the Stars, the Olympic skater showed off some skills at home. “Flip,” he tweeted with this accompanying photo. Hopefully, the upcoming contestants are practicing just as diligently.
“Who am I today???” comedian Kathy Griffin tweeted of her new look this week. All was explained on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where Griffin made her own “documentary” about teen sensation Justin Bieber and performed his hit, “Never Say Never.” Despite being more than 30 years older than Bieber, Griffin rocked the 16-year-old singer’s signature hair, askew baseball hat, varsity jacket, and sneakers.
Vulcans unite! The original Spock Leonard Nimoy posed with his successors, Zachary Quinto and Jacob Kogan this week, who starred in the big screen adaptation. The Star Trek star also tweeted a classic picture from his earlier days on the space set of Fred Philips, the “genius behind Spock’s make-up.” Trekkies could hardly contain themselves.
Joan Rivers left the Fashion Police set at E! to return to the Celebrity Apprentice this week and met with the show’s smiling beauty team. But the always good-humored Rivers posed only a few minutes later, tweeting, “And here is how they REALLY feel about me!” That would be smelly and linty, apparently?
Ryan Seacrest has found his fashion god. Jersey Shore’s Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino appeared on On Air With Ryan Seacrest this week to discuss romance and other topics the reality star covers in Here’s The Situation: A Guide to Creeping on Chicks, Avoiding Grenades, and Getting in Your GTL on the Jersey Shore. Is a sneaker update the first step to the GTL lifestyle? Seacrest tweeted, “Who needs laces on ur shoes when u can have chains?? @ItsTheSituation = style icon.”
Full House father Bob Saget headed to the Big Apple this week, a place he once called home. “I miss New York,” he tweeted. Aside from posing with a statue’s backside in Columbus Circle, Saget also had some time to hang out with his old co-stars, New York City residents Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. He really is everywhere you look.
Martha Stewart was down in Spartanburg, South Carolina this week at the BMW Manufacturing Co. to film a spot for her Hallmark Channel series. Stewart met with some of the employees and put safety first, tweeting about her “protective eyewear.”
The actor behind Glee’s bad boy, Mark Salling, channeled his inner nerd, when he posed in co-star Ashley Fink’s eyewear. “I kno yall were gettin tired of the nerd glasses,” he tweeted.
Estee Lauder model Hilary Rhoda turned her Twitter status into a not-so-stealthy ad for the company, tweeting, “Forgot to put on waterproof version of my Estee mascara! Oops … channeling Alice Cooper here haha.” Rhoda seemingly found the right mascara a few days later, when she appeared at the Harry Winston store in New York for the unveiling of the Hope Diamond.
Jim Carrey refuses to give it up with his infamous #boing tweets– except this week, he came a little bit closer to defining the phrase. Carrey tweeted, “Send me pics of your #BOING or some1 elses #BOING. Capture the essence of #BOING itself! (no genitals pls) ~8^}€=;” Maybe we’ll learn what the term (and that series of characters) means through someone else’s eyes.
No diva attitude here: Cher tweeted this picture showing her fans her generous side as she signed an old Sonny & Cher photo. The Burlesque star must be in a sharing mood these days: she told Parade magazine about her marriage to her late husband and band mate Sonny Bono. “The truth is,” she explained, “I'm not so sure we should've ever been husband and wife.”
David Arquette was all about promoting his new fashion company, Propr Clothing, this week. The actor posed in a number of his designs, but none were as meta as when he tweeted a picture of himself in a shirt proclaiming, “I’m a Bad, Bad Man.” Given Arquette’s recent overshares and the rumors he cheated on his now estranged wife Courteney Cox, that shirt is seemingly the perfect fit.
