Some celebrities value nuance and subtlety in a selfie. Nicki Minaj is not one of those celebrities. The rapper and Instagram provocateur showed off her trademark brand of animal print exhibitionism on Thursday, donning pasties and gold chains for this bold selfie.

In case you’ve been living under a rock, we’re happy to inform you that Kim Kardashian’s butt almost broke the Internet on Thursday. The reality TV star redefined MILF with this sultry selfie, proving that you can be a mommy and still rock an uber revealing white bodysuit on Instagram.

In this smiley selfie Miley Cyrus proves that she don’t need no man, just a big dog and a lil’ ponytail.

According to this hilarious Instagram, Ludacris really enjoyed Gravity. Nice to see one of the hardest rappers in the game rendered speechless by a visually stunning sci-fi epic.

What better way to publicize the season premiere of the third season of Girls, a series about lost, iPhone toting millenials, than with a cute mirror selfie. Welcome to new media, y’all.

This features not one but three celebs: Nicole Scherzinger, Sharon Osbourne, and Kelly Osbourne. In true celeb fashion, the three went out to dinner and felt the need to commemorate their meal with this pic.

Selena Gomez’s concerts are selfie central—the teen star always takes time to duckface with fans before hitting the stage. In this Instagram, Gomez waves her own iPhone in the air, resulting in a super meta selfie-within-a-selfie.

Snooki combined work and play on Tuesday, Instagramming on the way to a Snooki & JWOWW press junket. Snooki’s “shoulder pad action” proves that you can take the girl out of Jersey, but you can never fully take the Jersey out of the girl.

Mirror mirror on the wall, who loves selfies most of all? Paris Hilton can’t resist a good mirror pic, as evidenced by this random shopping snap. Rocking a serious smirk and huge sunglasses, Hilton captioned her creation “Shopping is my cardio.” In case the grey sweat suit didn’t get that message across.

This picture goes out to all the haters who thought a Chanel bikini and huge retro sunglasses weren’t “shark diving” attire. We just wish Rihanna had taken a follow up selfie smizing with the sharks themselves.
