Rebel Wilson held her camera steady to score a picture with Anne Hathaway at the 2013 Critics' Choice Awards.

Demi Lovato looked starstruck when she posed for a snap with former President Bill Clinton at the Unite4:Humanity Gala in February 2014. "Too excited to filter this... NO BIG DEAL - #Selfieswiththeprez.... Bill Clinton - so nice to meet you!!!!" she wrote in the caption.

The only thing more surprising than Jessica Biel and Anne Hathaway sharing a selfie at the 2014 Oscars: their wild expression!

It's common knowledge that Kim Kardashian, Chrissy Teigen, and John Legend are friends, but we didn't expect this reaction to Beck beating Beyoncé in the album of the year category at the 2015 Grammys. "This is the Beck won that award face?!?!?!" Kim captioned the moment.

We'd like to thank the people responsible for the seating arrangement at the 2015 Oscars. Without you, Meryl Streep and Jennifer Lopez's epic moment would not have been possible.

Yep, that's Jaime King in Taylor Swift's bed and Ansel Elgort in her bedroom in 2014. This is one of those random moments that could only happen at a Taylor Swift party.
