There is no greater accomplishment in Hollywood than winning an Oscar.

Shout out to WHOOPI, WHOOP!

We can literally hear it in her head as she walked onto the Oscars stage last night to accept her award for "Best Original Song!"

"Two down, two to go…"

And hot damn, does Adele deserve the distinction of having an EGOT, or what?!

The supremely talented singer has apparently now landed enough accolades for her contributions to the entertainment industry that she has her sights set on the much-sought-after quartet of statues, as she was overheard telling journalists in the Oscar press room that in order to secure the remaining Emmy and Tony Awards:

Chris Colfer won Favorite TV Comedic Actor at The People's Choice Awards, but he seemed more excited about who presented him the award— Ellen Degeneres!!!

When Chris stepped up to the microphone he said:

"To be handed an award by this person is just incredible"

The Glee star beat Neil Patrick Harris, Ty Burrell, and Jim Parsons.

We're sure this honor will look great next to his Emmy!!!

Ch-ch-check out his full acceptance speech (above)!!!

Justin Bieber is the talk of the town Twitterverse!

The Biebs definitely has had a LOT to celebrate this year — a number one album, sold-out tour, countless awards and hit singles, a very public break-up… it’s no wonder tweeters couldn’t stop typing about him!

This year, Justin was named 2012’s most tweeted-about celeb, with One Direction’s Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson following close behind!

Bieber’s tweet for Avalanna, a young Belieber who passed away of cancer, was the most retweeted of the year, with 223,771 retweets.

The touching tweet read:

@justinbieber RIP Avalanna. i love you

Other most retweeted tweets included:

2. @obeyMJ R.I.P. Whitney Houston. Retweet for respect. (191,043 retweets)

3. @Harry_Styles We owe you everything. Thank you so much for this. Three VMAs!! YEAH .xx (125,379 retweets)

4. @BenSavage I'm going to be a father! Well, on TV at least. The "Boy Meets World" sequel is officially happening! (114,179 retweets)

5. @NiallOfficial Guys its been 2 years today since we were formed, its been incredible so far, its all down to you guys! Love you all soo much ! Thank you (103,772 retweets)

As far as the biggest follower gains? That award goes to One Direction, whose members Louis, Liam, Niall and Harry, along with the group account, saw their followers skyrocket!

2012 also sent Twitter abuzz with the death of Whitney Houston in February, the MTV VMAs, Emmy Awards, Blue Ivy’s birth and Kate Middleton’s pregnancy announcement!

These topics caused the social networking site to erupt with millions of tweets, making them most tweeted-about celeb events of the year.

Take a look at some of the other Twit-worthy entertainment trends… AFTER THE JUMP!!!

In the past, Grey’s Anatomy creator, Shonda Rhimes, has made it crystal clear that Katherine Heigl won’t be coming back to the hit doctor-drama EVER!!

We loved Izzy Stevens, but thanks to Oprah’s Next Chapter, we were reminded why a reunion with the fiery blonde is NOT in any of our futures.

When Shonda reflects on 2008— when Katherine removed her name from Emmy consideration because she didn’t think she was given gritty enough material— we can almost see the smoke coming out of ears!!!

Shonda told Oprah:

We guess Ellen DeGeneres wanted to be SERIOUSLY bootylicious for Halloween this year!

And in that regard, she was SUCCESSFUL on all counts!

For today's very special episode of Ellen, the comedienne recreated Sofia Vergara's recent wardrobe malfunction at the Emmy Awards that left her lovely lady lumps exposed for the world to see in AH-MAZING detail, as well as her Columbian accent…at least, until the Modern Family star shows up herself and is NOT looking too pleased!

Ch-ch-check out all of the HIGHlarity (above)!

Oh MAN!

Is this EPIC or what?!

We don't know what's funnier:

Ellen making fun of Sofia's accent or Sofia making fun of Ellen's!

We seriously don't know if she'll be able to top this costume EVER!

P.S. We have to admit, she looks pretty good with long, brunette locks, wouldn't U say?! LOLz!
