Miley Cyrus sported a Lil' Kim daring outfit for the Halloween night. The controversial star took to Twitter to show off her tribute to Lil' Kim's dress that she wore in 1999 at the MTV Video Music Awards, that has just a sequin pasty on one side. Cyrus wore a floral jumpsuit and periwinkle pasty and sported a purple wig to match with the dress. The 21-year old singer snapped a series of selfies to share with her fans on social media. Lil’ Kim also showed her support of Miley’s sentiment of “just being Miley" and told MTV News “How awesome was that! Put it this way, she did me very well, I think she looked gorgeous. I love her; she’s one of my besties.” She added on: “The purple pasty with the purple hair is something that kids love, women love, and men love and people all over the world loved. “When people give you that compliment on Halloween, it’s huge.”

Kim Kardashian who has tried hard to lose her post-baby weight, even revealed that she had used the Atkins diet in a bid to lose weight. Through this selfie, it seems that the new mom was quite desperate to flaunt her bikini bod in a very revealing high-cut white swimsuit.

Rapper Nicki Minaj, who is known for sporting different hair-styles, gave a pleasant surprise to her fans on Instagram when she posted a series of shower selfies. The 31-year-old rapper posted her naked shower selfies and flaunted her original hair and natural look without any make-up and hair dos unlike her style. Well, the interesting fact is that the singer left all the pictures without any caption, perhaps she just wanted to keep her fans guessing. Some of the mobile apps even banned her shower selfies.

Obama had tweeted an image titled "Four more years" during his re-election in November 2012, which held the record of most retweeted picture ever. Obama teased Ellen DeGeneres for bringing "a bunch of celebrities" to break his record. So, Obama seems to be quite afraid of this celebrity selfie syndrome developing in most of the international celebrities.
