Nothing tells us more about celebrities than their Twitter accounts. From detailing their daily lives to keeping us entertained with jokes and some very astute observations, there's much to learn from our favourite stars on social media. This week, a famous father and his (almost-equally) famous daughter both landed in our gallery — obviously humour runs in the family. Lady Gaga cleared up a rumour surrounding a nasty court case she's involved in, and Scott Dooley reckons he might be in with a chance with Miranda Kerr. Oh, and if there's one thing Lucy Hale takes seriously, it's ranch dressing . . .  There's plenty more in here — click through now!

With none of the usual careful restraint of publicists and managers, Twitter is the place where celebs can vent, give advice, spruik their various gigs and tell jokes as dry as the desert sand. This week, Ellen DeGeneres took time to wish happy birthday to two amazing women in her life, while Joel Madden sent his love to those affected by the Queensland floods. Olivia Wilde dared to question Kate Moss' most infamous quote, and Lena Dunham tweeted about her — wait for it — rash. See? No restraint. There's much more to read in here, so start clicking through!

If there's one thing we can say for sure after reading today's Tweets, it's that Australia is one popular country! Whether it's the Madden brothers or Ricky Martin, homegrown supermodels or some of our favourite local stars, everyone is wishing us a happy Australia Day — and we're wishing the same to you guys! Aside from patriotic messages, there were comments about good mates (apparently Ronan Keating is one of them!), celebrities mentioning the stars they admire, and one starlet in particular was very disturbed after coming to an Emoji-related realisation. And Rihanna? Well, she had wise words for us all — click through to find out what she, and others, had to say this week!

When there's a major celebrity event happening somewhere in the world, you can bet that the stars will be tweeting about it. This week, the Golden Globes were a major topic of discussion, especially for the super talented Lena Dunham who took home two awards. Aside from the obvious, there were three highlights for her over the course of the night — you'll find out what they were in this gallery. Actress Olivia Wilde took to Twitter to address the news of her engagement to funnyman Jason Sudeikis, while Taylor Swift let her fans know that she was okay after a slight run-in with Michael J. Fox. Juicy, right? Get clicking to read more from all your favourite celebs!

While most of celeb-land has been fairly quiet over the Christmas holidays (save for a baby announcement and some cool New Year's Eve celebrations), one place that's never silent is Twitter. While we've been taking a break, all our favourite celebrities have been as active on the social-media front as ever, tweeting well-wishes, funny thoughts, astute observations and anything else that comes to mind. Actress Lucy Hale takes issue with some modern technology features she doesn't appreciate, Andy Lee comes up with a uniquely Aussie new concept and Erin McNaught knows the solution to any problem . . . But that's not all — there's much more to read, so click through to check it out!

We got another great glimpse into the world of celebrities through social media this week, and whether they were gearing up for the holidays or reporting to work on set, there were lots of fun snaps to pore over. Stars like Miley Cyrus and Usher shared photos with their dogs, and Kim Kardashian showed off her new, not-so-real hairstyle. Judd Apatow made a TV talk-show stop with Tom Cruise, and Gwyneth Paltrow made pasta during an appearance on Jamie Oliver's cooking program. Drew Barrymore joined in on the backstage action, while Harry Styles got inked in LA. Bar Refaeli reported from Greenland, and Nicole Richie and Joel Madden shared a sweet snap as they marked their second wedding anniversary. There's more to see — just click through the gallery to check it all out! 

Nothing gives us an insight into the minds of our favourite celebrities quite like Twitter does. In 140 characters or less, celebrities can have us in stitches, leave us confused, make us wonder and basically keep us entertained all day long. This week, many stars were visiting our lovely country, and write about us they did! Benji Madden and Nicki Minaj both fell head over heels for the Aussie music scene while Russell Brand was preparing for what will probably be a wild trip to Perth. Miley Cyrus discovered a whole new group of fans, Ellen took her private jet out for a quick spin and Chrissie Swan asked a pressing question about tuna sandwiches. Yep, there were no stones left unturned — click through the gallery to get up to speed with this week's best tweets!

Sure, Twitter is a fantastic tool for gathering important news and information, but really, we love it because we get some excellent insight into the worlds of our favourite stars. This week alone, we've found out which celebrity had her fans break and enter into her home, which funnyman director has an issue with the Australian accent and why Julia Morris was having a tough time in her hotel room in the wee hours. There's also the cute young pop star who got to meet, you know, the queen, the fashionista who's currently sporting a broken toe, and the beautiful Aussie model living the good life, practising yoga at sunset in Mexico. There's so much more to learn — click through the gallery to see what else your fave stars got up to!
