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.

The purpose of the Emmy Awards is to honour the television creators and stars that entertained us this year, but who would tune in if the show itself didn't promise to entertain? The 64th annual ceremony had some memorable skits, bits and quips courtesy of host Jimmy Kimmel and many of the presenters and Emmy recipients. Check out the moments we'll remember, and let us know what your favourites were!

The 2012 Emmy Awards roll around on Monday, so in anticipation for TV’s night of nights we’ve gathered all the information we know so far about the awards show. Nominees were announced in July and since then small screen stars have talked up their roles and shows, mingled at pre-Emmy parties and gone on the hunt for the perfect dress. We’ll be covering the event live on Monday, kicking off with the red carpet, so until then, get the facts on what we can expect from this year’s show.

Ellen DeGeneres accepted her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today. The talk-show host had her wife, Portia de Rossi, as well as her mother, Betty, by her side for the ceremony. Ellen's colleagues Ryan Seacrest and Jimmy Kimmel were also on hand to toast Ellen's accomplishment, and both were seen planting kisses on her cheek as she posed with her Walk of Fame plaque. The 10th season of The Ellen DeGeneres Show kicks off in the US next Monday, and Ellen's already got an impressive roster of guests ahead for the year, including Britney Spears, Selena Gomez, and Pink. Earlier this year, Jennifer Aniston shot promos for Ellen to help hype the upcoming episodes and was a good sport while the host messed up her signature hair in one funny spot.
