The Oscars Selfie Has Now Been Immortalized as a Painting in Twitter HQ

Posted in: Uncategorized

If it's starting to feel like you'll never be able to escape that Oscars selfie, just imagine working at Twitter headquarters, where it's now an official piece of office art.

Twitter employee Lauren Mitcheom tweeted the photo above last night with a personalized note to Ellen DeGeneres: "Hey, @TheEllenShow! We painted a picture of you at Twitter HQ. Come take a #selfie with us!"

Appearing in the photo are fellow Twitter employees Liz Fiandaca and Genevieve Wong. We've reached out to Twitter to learn more about who created the painting (which I'm sure is going to fly right to the top of their list of media calls to return today). But for now, we're just going to assume, as we do with all things, that Samsung was behind it.

Ellen DeGeneres Is a Dancing Goldilocks in Beats Music’s Super Bowl Ad

Posted in: Uncategorized

Ellen DeGeneres will be among the parade of celebrities in this Sunday's Super Bowl, as she dances with bears and wolves in a stylish and amusing Goldilocks and the Three Bears parody for Beats Music, the subscription-based online music-streaming service.

You can see the full spot—or at least a version of it, running longer than 60 seconds—within the clip below, which will air Thursday on DeGeneres's talk show. The Beats Music app is "something I absolutely love," she says in introducing it. "I had so much fun shooting the commercial. And you're really not supposed to see it until the Super Bowl, but it's my birthday and my show, so I get to do what I want."

Beats Music also aired a spot on the Grammys that was written and narrated by Trent Reznor, who serves as chief creative officer for the service.

See the 90-second version of the Reznor spot here.
