ElleGirl- We’re not sure if you’ve heard, but Twitter has become the new Facebook. Unlike FB, on Twitter you can follow and tweet your favorite celebrities that you wish were your friends and sometimes pretend are. (Has anyone actually ever gotten a reply?) And it’s good for pretty much anything: remember when Osama Bin Laden died, or Blue Ivy was born, where was the first place people turned? #Twitter. Now that the the First Lady herself has graced Twitter with her presence (@MichelleObama) While most celebrities tweet for promotion purposes (The Kardashians/Justin Bieber) and some just to keep you envious of their awesome lives (Still the Kardashians/Justin Bieber), others are actually worth pressing that follow button. Here we have the best celebrities to follow on Twitter; from the laugh out loud funny to the inspirational. Check em out along with some of our fav tweets!Lady Gaga
Photo: Getty ImagesAlthough she mainly tweets (and twit pics) about her new releases and her glam life, it’s still cool to get a glimpse into this ‘Born This Way’ singer’s life. Whether you’re a die hard little monster or not, her tweets will definitely keep you if not entertained, at least interested. Favorite: “My new years resolution: Never be afraid to be kicked in the teeth. Let the blood and the bruises define your legacy. – Lady Gaga 2012″ Umm OK, Gags.Shaquille O’Neal
Photo: Getty ImagesHis bio reads: “VERY QUOTATIOUS, I PERFORM RANDOM ACTS OF SHAQNESS.” Yes, in all caps. The now retired basketball player is surprisingly and randomly funny with his obscure and whacky tweets that read similar to the stream-of-consciousness of a ditzy 13-year old girl. Favorite: “Why do they call minneapolis, the twin cities, nobody here looks a like, waaa waaa waaaaaa”Karl Lagerfeld
Photo: Getty ImagesOK, no, his Twitter is not actually verified. And it’s most likely not him tweeting, but we like to imagine Mr. Lagerfeld himself tweeting these always retweetable little gold nuggets of wisdom and inspiration. A girl can dream, right? Favorite: “I’m never content with what I do. I live in a sort of permanent dissatisfaction. I think that’s the secret to doing things well.” Stephen Colbert If you’re looking for some comedic relief between the tweets about what an awful day your friend is having and the recent devastating news story, Stepen Colbert’s Twitter is where you should (need) to turn for amazing new musings. Favorite: “I learned a lot covering the Iowa caucuses. For instance: Iowa and Idaho are not the same place. Uh oh, I’m becoming a geography nerd!”Leandra Medine
Photo: Getty ImagesAlso known as the Man Repeller, Leandra’s Twitter is the best account out there that combines both fashion with comedy. Much like her blog, but shorter and borderline better because she gets to tweet parts of her outfit daily. Favorite: “I’m so over bras”Kanye West
Photo: Getty ImagesSurprise, surprise, it’s the Twitter King himself. When Kanye tweets, the world is a better place. Or at least the world stops to listen-ahem-read. His tweets are a mix of genius and insanity that range from fashion to music to complete randomness. Much like Kanye himself, his feed is both entertaining and sometimes annoying. Favorite: “I hate when I’m on a flight & wake up with a water bottle next 2 me like oh great now I gotta be responsible for this water bottle.”Rev Run
Photo: Getty ImagesRev Run from Run DMC, provides the world of Twitter with daily tweets of inspiration. His tweets are short, to the point and always uplifting. If you’re ever feeling down, just scroll through his feed and you’re sure to crack a smile more than once. Favorite: “Be happy”Ellen DeGeneres
Photo: Getty ImagesThe completely hilarious Ellen is just as loveable on Twitter as she is on her show. Everything from witty one-liners to promotion of her show, it’s a must-follow account. You might even be lucky enough to get a retweet. Favorite: “Welcome to the world baby Blue Ivy and congratulations to your parents, Beyonce & Jay-Z. Love, your Godmother! *Unconfirmed”Barack Obama
Photo: Getty ImagesHello, he’s the president. It might be nice to know what’s going on with the state of our country from time to time. we guess. Favorite: Well, they’re all pretty important.Mindy Kaling
Photo: Getty ImagesNamed by TIME Magazine as one of the Twitter’s best, The Office writer and actress, Mindy Kaling never ever disappoints. A little self-deprecating and sometimes cynical, Mindy is a pro at 140-characters or less one-liners. If you’re not following her, do it. Now. Seriously. Favorite: “Inception was so confusing to me I have to pretend I didn’t see it so no one asks me my opinion or any questions about it.”

The torrent of spring campaigns continued this week with images from St. John, a video from Bally and both from Salvatore Ferragamo. Kate Winslet’s back for her second season with St. John. Craig McDean shot the actress in what looks like an apartment full of objects usually found on a movie set. This probably means she’ll wear St. John at the Golden Globes this weekend (she’s nominated for Carnage) but we hope she goes for something a bit more interesting. Bally, meanwhile, has released the behind the scenes video of their spring ads and it’s full of hot models—Julia Stegner, Miranda Kerr—but more importantly, puppies! And baby lambs! The lambs get up to all sorts of mischief in the video that you should watch after the jump. And lastly, Ferragamo’s released a behind the scenes look at their tropical Mikael Jansson shot images starring Gisele and Noah Mills in Jamaica. Mills sounds pretty thrilled (or as thrilled as a model can sound) to be working with Gisele for the first time.

Though the collections’ full of ladylike dresses and rich peplum coats, he walked straight to his bright silk pajama-like pieces what I asked him to pick a favorite. “I did all of them on my iPad,” he said of the prints. “There’s an application called drawing pad and I just do it with my finger. It sounds really retarded, but it’s super, super good fun. They were iPad size and then I emailed them to Jenna who works with me on all my prints and she put them in a very nice 50s-esque repeat for me. They work super well and we blew them up on t-shirts and did some really sweet little jewelry pieces. They retail for like $120! They’re good little go-with-everythings,” he said, holding one up to his neck. “Well, not so good on me, but on the right girl!”

Actress Lucy Hale wowed us on the red carpet at last night’s People’s Choice Awards in a super-sculpted, sequined mini with a luxurious side train. The 22-year old actress, who took home a a PCA for Favorite Cable TV Drama along with her fellow Pretty Little Liars castmates looked both sweet and sophisticated in her sweeping Cengiz Abazoglu dress, winning her our Prom Look of the Day as well. How to Look Good With a Side Train: Mini & Mighty What makes this trend fresh is the mixing of a short and sweet dress with a long and elegant train. Shop for a simple, sheath silhouette. This lets the long train work as a statement on its own. Opposites Attract Look for a dress that has eye-catching embellishments. The contrast between the gentle, sweeping train and a jewel or sequin encrusted bodice, gives this look its signature pop. Feet First Make sure that your train doesn’t puddle around your feet and that you can walk, dance, and even jump up and down comfortably. If the train seems a little too long and drapes around your legs, consider pinning it to the side so you can rock the dramatic look without the dramatic sound of your dress ripping. OK, think your brave enough to rock the look on
the big night? Check out our picks below!

Amber.Stardoll- We can now announce that Balenciaga has just recently signed none other than star Kristen Stewart to be the face of the newest Balenciaga fragrance for women this year! Kristen has already explained her love to the famous and exclusive brand: “Balenciaga has always stood out to me. Even when I first began to consider fashion and admittedly rarely knew the brand I was wearing, I always recognized and loved Balenciaga." she revealed to Women's Wear Daily. She also said: "It feels full circle to be involved with something that spoke to me then and of course continues to excite me now. The brand is just cool. That’s the way it is. I feel drawn to it. It provokes on a number of levels. It isn’t afraid or contrived. It hits a very cool balance, always. Always pretty undeniable.”We are really looking forward for the result and hopefully we will see some glimpse of the campaign pictures soon! We really think it's good for a company team up with such a popular superstar as Kristen! (cocoperez)

- Radio show host Fearne Cotton was spotted outside the BBC studios in yet another cool outfit. She chose a daring look combining baggy jeans with feminine ballerinas, and she totally pulls it off! And isn't her handbag to die for?

- Of course Beyoncé and Jay-Z's daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, is going to be one famous baby, but this is a new record we talking about! Baby Blue is already making history by officially becoming the youngest person to ever reach the Billboard music charts, at less than a week old! Baby Blue is credited as a collaborator for Jay-Z's newly recorded song, "Glory," which the rapper wrote about his daughter soon after her birth. Can you imagine, not even one week old and she's already breaking Billboard records? Wow this little girl is going to run the world one day! (celebritygossip)

- Sure we haven't always loved Madonna's style, she's often a bit too much out there or dresses too young. But this time, we actually like what she's wearing. The black gothic garments look cool, and the red accessories make it really interesting. Looks like someone's learning!
- Amber.Stardoll
- We knew that little Blue Ivy would be a diva, especially with Beyonce and Jay-Z as parents but we didn't know that it would already be so extreme, after all she's only a few days old! We found out that Beyonce and Jay-Z have lavished their daughter with gifts totaling around $1.5 million! From a gold rocking horse ($600,000), a custom-made crib ($20,000), and a high chair covered in Swarvrovski crystals ($15,000) Blue Ivy is set for life! Do we think this is a bit ridiculous? Yes! But is it also totally fab? YES! (nypost)
