Winners of 3rd Shorty Awards Revealed


 

Every year, Twitter celebrates the best and the most influencing personalities on Twitter. If we are going to equate this to film, the Shorty Awards is equivalent to that of Oscars.

The Awards have been given on the 28th of March in New York City, USA. The nominees and fans from all over the world graced the said event. The Oscar of Twitter is a worldwide celebration because almost everybody including celebrities are using Twitter to reach out to their fans from all over the world.

“Never Say Never” Surpasses “This is It!”

 

Justin Beiber will really never say never because he is now the hot teen sensation. Almost in every part of the world, he is hailed as the most famous and brightest star of all. No wonder his latest documentary is a big hit to the moviegoers and it really gains support from fans especially in the United States.

The “Never Say Never” is a documentary film about the life of a teenage boy who once dreamed, failed, but continued on his heart’s desire until he reached the pedestal of success where he is standing now. A lot of people, especially the young ones, are very much inspired with Beiber’s success.
The Documentary “Never Say never” has earned 72.2 Million dollars domestically in the United States and it is branded as the most successful of all times. It surpasses beyond the King of Pop’s “This is It!” which earned 72.1 Million dollars domestically. It looks like Michael Jackson’s throne has been dominated by this young boy now. But of course, he still needs to trudge on a long way to even reach the level of Michael Jackson. I know that Justin Beiber will be able to accomplish, and even surpass Jackson’s accomplishment and contribution in the music industry.

Congratulations to Justin Beiber for the wonderful documentary and for inspiring people all over the world with your music.

In her effort to reach out to the people of Japan who apparently victims of the tsunami disaster which had happened last week, Lady Gaga created a wrist band. She personally designed the wrist band emblazoned with the text  "Pray For Japan" in Japanese and English version. We all know that a lot of people in Japan need our help and though this fund raising campaign of Lady Gaga, we can reach out to the victims of the earthquake and the subsequent tsunami.

The wrist bands are now available for order on Lady Gaga’s official merchandise website. She is calling all her fans which she calls “little monster” to support the fund raising campaign by buying the wrist band which costs $5 (USD). All the proceeds of the fund raising campaign will go to the victims of tsunami in Japan. All 100% of the income will help to rescue those who are in need in Japan.

The $ 5 (USD) is very small amount, but if a lot of people will buy the said wrist band, it can be a big help to Japan. Thanks to Lady Gaga for this wonderful idea of using her fame and her artistry to help those who are in need. So if you want to help the people of Japan and get this wrist band personally designed by Lady Gaga, order one now. Go to her official website and buy.

Bill Gates is the Richest Man No More

 

For the past five years, the top position of the richest man in the world has been dominated by three personalities. These are Warren Buffet, Carlos Slim and the most famous Bill Gates. Bill Gates has been consistent as the top richest man in the world for the past few years. Thanks to his invention of Microsoft application for bringing him the wealth.

However, the latest list of the richest man in the world is different because Bill Gates is not dominating the top position. The reason why Bill Gates is not the richest man in the world anymore is not because of the competing company which is Apple. We are all aware that Steve Jobs has been doing very well in the innovation of their latest applications making it a threat to the Microsoft company. But it has nothing to do with Gates wealth, the main reason is because of his charity works. Gates had given away more than one third of his money Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This foundation focuses on global health and development and U.S. education.

Anyway, getting the top spot as the richest man in the world is not a competition after all. Maybe it is high time for Bill Gates to give way to new billionaires out there. What he did is very inspiring for the youth. It is not all about the fame, it is not all about the wealth, it is not all about the honor, it is all about influencing other people with what you can give. And it just so happened that Bill Gates have the wealth to save other people, so he gave it away.
