Last week when Katy Perry stopped by the Facebook offices in Palo Alto, California, she announced her upcoming Canadian and US tour dates. But Perry also managed to rub shoulders with the big boss, Mark Zuckerberg. She tweeted, “Ya know just hangin' @ "the" facebook with "the" CEO. Baller style. I like him!”
In a random act of kindness during last week’s snow storm in New York City, CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric stopped to lend IAC’s Barry Diller a helping hand. As Couric tweeted, “Only in New York: helping Barry Diller push his Maserati out of the snow in Central Park on my way to work!
Now here’s a surprise: Courtney Love was honored by the Oxford University Conservative Association. Love visited the prestigious British college last weekend to accept the title of Non-Executive Officer For Rock 'N' Roll, and take pics with Oxford students. What does that entail, exactly?

Park City, Utah is known as Hollywood’s winter wonderland escape every January when filmmakers and celebrities alike arrive in droves for the Sundance Film Festival. And this year, Ryan Seacrest found more than he bargained for: his mountain-man doppelganger. Seacrest tweeted, “Found my long lost brother at # Sundance in the #BingBar!!!”
While Sundance is a film festival, it’s not strictly created for those who are in or of the films presented. When they’re not at screenings, some stars actually hit the slopes. And by the look of Eliza Dushku’s twitpic, it’s understandable that she’d want to join in on all the excitement and success at Sundance.
Guests of CBS’ Late Show with David Letterman are kindly greeted with sweet swag in the form of cookies prior to their on-camera interviews.

This past week, former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke of his steps to a successful career as a body-builder, a leading Hollywood actor, and politician to a crowd of thousands in Toronto, Canada.

Perhaps the “real” Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is actually Lisa Vanderpump’s adorable, little 18-month-old Pomeranian, Giggy (short for Gigolo). When Vanderpump made her appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show recently, Giggy was presented with a baby-stroller, Pimp My Ride style. The pink bedazzled four-wheeler came equipped with a chandelier and pink Champagne set-up. DeGeneres tweeted, “Me and Lisa Vanderpump backstage getting Giggy with it.”
The cast and crew of Desperate Housewives traveled far beyond the borderlines of Wisteria Lane to film in Piru, California, which appears to serve as an alternative to the busy streets of Los Angeles.

Last week when Jay Leno welcomed Today show stars Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb to L.A., audiences saw Gifford doing keg-stands backstage. In this photo, it appears Olivia Munn noticed her wine glass was empty before her toast to the hosts with the most. Munn tweeted, “Still wasted guys. Still got interviews... Still wanna drink more! RT @ TodayShow.” Shortly after, the ladies replied, “@oliviamunn literally getting "day wasted" (her words, not mine) at # klgandhoda.”
“America” singer-songwriter Neil Diamond celebrated his 70th birthday last Monday, and we’ll bet he wasn’t singing the “Song Sung Blues,” when he saw this creative tribute cake. Diamond tweeted, “Check out my birthday cake! Thanks everybody for all the birthday wishes. Love, Neil.”
