Celebrities Social The Darndest Things

Just in case you haven’t been berated enough by social media commentary during the week, we’ve compiled some of the best tweets on some of the most talked about topics. Welcome to another edition of Celebrities Social The Darndest Things.

Martin Shkreli

When Martin Shkreli, CEO of Pharmaceutical company Turing, bumped the price of aids drug Daraprim from $13.50US to $750US during the week, Twitter erupted.

@MartinShkreli should just complete his homage to capitalistic-greed-at-all-cost by making a dildo out of money and fuck himself with it.

Martin Shkreli looks like the sort of person who says things along the lines of 'This displeases me, mother'. pic.twitter.com/DCrfwwwlzy

Sad news, Martin Shkreli just bought the Happy Birthday Song.

I hear @MartinShkreli is using all that money to fund research on how to get AIDS airborne.

Oddly enough, Martin Shkreli is like if AIDS were a person.

The Emmys

While so far away from Australia, they still left their mark. Much like Andy Samberg’s opening film.

Life outside of the #Emmys needs a "Please wrap up" prompt. Like, can I use that for cab drivers and online dating and gyno appointments?

So glad the #Emmys celebrates the wealthy, famous and ludicrously attractive actors among us who so rarely get the recognition they deserve.

"Todd, if you want to us to boycott the #Emmys because you weren't nominated or even invited, we will." - you guys

Imagine being old enough to get an instant standing ovation. #Emmys

Admittedly, Hollywood stars make silly money, but feels like they're earning it when being interviewed by Ryan Seacrest. #Emmys

Chris Brown

And back to something a little more serious. The pressure for Chris Brown to be barred from Australia continues to rise, as reflected on social media.

Chris Brown should be banned from Australia. No, not that Chris Brown #Gruen http://t.co/VK6omEjczt pic.twitter.com/KVtp9XM6oT

Hey @ChrisBrown there's still a way for you to get a visa for New Zealand. Just start a cloud storage business. They love that over here ;-)

#PigGate

British tabloid Daily Mail ran a very weird article last week that alleged British Prime Minister David Cameron did something questionable with a dead pig when he was a student at Oxford University in the late 1980s.

Well this looks kind of suspicious in retrospect: http://t.co/7R4sKp4aQM pic.twitter.com/Me3JHy2W7q

BBC news says “The former Tory donor admitted to having personal “beef” with the prime minister …“ #piggate just gets weirder and weirder.

Bonus Round

Dude sitting near me at breakfast is whispering to himself.... In German. It's possibly the scariest breakfast I've ever had
