Celebrities Social The Darndest Things

The past week has been another emotional rollercoaster. From the passing of a BMX legend to Shane Warne eating insects, a lot has happened. Here are just a few things you might have missed this week, as documented by Twitter.

Prince

Prince announced a surprise tour on Friday. Get pumped!

I love that Prince has just announced a tour for February 2016, in February 2016.

Maybe Prince will just come around to all of our houses for 20 minutes each, play a few songs and pat our cats.

RIP Dave Mirra. A positive influence on all of us growing up. If you are struggling with depression please ask for help. You're not alone!

Shane Warne

It’s been a big week for Shane Warne, having joined the cast of I’m A Celebrity, announcing his foundation will close, and Hugh Grant moving in on his ex-fiancée. Twitter had fun.

@TonyTassell I like how Shane Warne and Liz Hurley now look like twins.

Shane Warne's had a lot worse stuff in his mouth than a few bugs! He'd do that standing on his head. #NZvsAUS

Daniel Webb

A nice typo during an ABC broadcast with Human Rights Law Centre legal advocacy director Daniel Webb yielded hilarious results.

I'm with Daniel Webb...I like his thinking, his solution could solve many problems. Be more like Daniel! pic.twitter.com/temgAakftz

Jarrad Seng

A video of Perth photographer Jarrad Seng getting kicked in the face went viral. We’ll leave you with one of many videos that were spawned from the comedic gold.
