Gwyneth Paltrow isn’t the only Oscar winner getting familar with the scary world of social networking. The Goop Goddess dived onto the Interwebs feet first when she joined both Facebook and Twitter last week. Now Moulin Rouge star Nicole Kidman is making her nervous debut on YouTube; the star posted her very first video to fans via her personal channel earlier this month.
If you weren’t among the elite who scored an invitation to the nups of the year, it just got a little easier to come down with Royal Wedding Fever.
Prince William will tie the knot with his college sweetheart, Kate Middleton, later this month in the most-anticipated event to hit the international social scene since William’s parents, Charles and Diana, wed 30 years ago. And thanks to the wonders of technology, Royal Watchers have landed an invitation to gawk at every moment of it. Footage of the entire ceremony will be live streamed on The Windsors’ Official YouTube Royal Channel, reps for The Royal Family said Tuesday. The royal wedding is expected to be one of the year’s most watched events globally, with some estimating viewership as high as two billion people. The event will be the first British royal wedding streamed live on the internet.
Just when you thought you’d heard the last of Rebecca Black. The 13-year-old viral sensation has ended Justin Bieber’s reign as the most viewed person on YouTube after her off-key and heavily autotuned debut single “Friday” amassed more than 112 million views on the video sharing website.
Er — Is it safe to say that Miley Cyrus is not a Rebecca Black fan?
The controversial teen pop star spoke to The Daily Telegraph ahead of her upcoming tour in Australia, starting this June, and she doesn’t speak highly of musical artists who find stardom after first finding a fanbase on YouTube.
The Boy Wonder who landed a recording contract based on the rousing reception of his YouTube.com videos has once again made history on the video-sharing website. On Monday, the video promo for Justin Bieber’s Ludacris-assisted 2010 single “Baby” toppled Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” to become the most-watched video in YouTube’s five year history.
The video has logged a whopping 500.4 million views, compared with “Bad Romance’s” 362 million. Of course that doesn’t mean everyone is doing back flips for “Baby.” In fact, the vid is even more hated than Rebecca Black’s viral nightmare, “Friday.” “Baby” scored 1.1 million “dislikes” to 578,000 “likes” from YouTubians expressing their opinion with simple thumbs-up or thumbs-down rankings.
