Celebrity Buzz The internet's version of the Oscars was visited by the most famous body part from this year's Oscars. BuzzFeed was invited to cover the Webby Awards, so I decided to dress up as Angelina Jolie and terrify a bunch of famous people.
Culture Buzz What was the Meme Of The Year? BuzzFeed is partnering with the Webby Awards to let you choose your favorite. Get your vote on and make sure you watch The Webbys streaming LIVE on May 21st to see who wins.
Culture Buzz And fortunately BuzzFeed was invited. The Pop Tarted internet sensation debuted a year ago, and 21st Street Games — publishers of Nyan Cat Adventure — threw a brightly colored soiree. The guest of honor was Nyan Cat creator Chris Torres, whose iconic animation was originally Youtubed on April 5th, 2011.
21st Street Games is hosting a birthday party, commemorating the day Nyan Cat was born to YouTube.
SOPA and PIPA are the only things that can threaten to stop Nyan Cat. 21st Street Games made these awesome posters to help keep the government from ruining the Internet. Spread them at will!

Music Buzz
Fire in the hole tubes! Everybody down! Lara plays “Friday” and the Nyan Cat theme on piano. Then plays them back…at the same time. The result is surprisingly not horrible?
Another one bites the dust. Just a reminder, tattoos last a lifetime. Memes don’t.
