ELLEN DeGeneres managed to break Twitter re-tweet records after taking a mega selfie crammed with Hollywood’s hottest stars at the Oscars.

In between awards, Ellen paraded the aisles of the venue with her (not so subtle) Samsung mobile in the hope of taking a quick snap with Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts. Then things got out of hand.

Channing Tatum got involved. As did Bradley Cooper, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Kevin Spacey. The selfie got so star-studded, poor Bradley Cooper’s arms weren’t long enough to get everyone in.

Ellen took the picture in a stunt gunning to smash the record for the most re-Tweeted photo of all time, in less than an hour.

The record holder was a photo of US President Barack Obama hugging his wife Michelle after his re-election victory, which has more than 779,000 re-tweets.

Ellen’s celebrity shot gained 634,000 in just half an hour and has already broken over 1.2 million (at time of writing).
