• Stars: they're just like us! Kind of, in a roundabout "we're all human" sort of way. We always knew we couldn't be the only ones who use the reverse camera on our smartphones to apply makeup in a pinch, but we had no idea that even Taylor Swift engaged in this decidedly very normal activity.

• Is this funeral selfie a new not-so-media-savvy low for our President? Barack Obama got together with British Prime Minister David Cameron and Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt to snap a smiling photo of the three world leaders.

• Lest you thought it was only women at risk of having their whole look compromised on the basis of one bad hairstyle, think again. The artist formerly known as Harry Potter (yes, that would be Daniel Radcliffe) is sporting a new shoulder-length weave as he films the part of Igor in "Frankenstein." We hate to admit that it is not very sexy. [

• Alright, Gisele, we get it already! We don't know what you are, but we know you are
not human, as further evidenced by this (Instagrammed!) photo of the supermodel and businesswoman breastfeeding while her glam squad goes to work. [
