Filters, duck faces, hash tags, and throwback Thursdays define the spirit of the online photo sharing community that is Instagram. In it, celebrities and ordinary people alike capture and share the best of their fleeting memories - a trip to Europe, a fantastic meal, a hot new outfit, and new friends. We have rounded up the best celebrity Instagram photos of the summer that so perfectly encapsulate what Instagram is all about.
In this photo, Israeli fashion model Bar Rafaeli goes for a dip in the pool. Bar Rafaeli used to date Leonardo DiCaprio, until they broke up in 2011. She was recently quoted by the Daily News lamenting her current single status: “I don’t understand it, I look great. I’m cool. I like going out. I like being at home, I like movies, I like eating. So what’s wrong with me? Why am I alone?” Only a few days later, she denied the allegations from her Twitter account and said that she was “happy, single, and loving it!”
Ashton Kutcher poses in front of the Apple logo to promote his movie “Jobs” which premiered to lukewarm ratings and sales this summer. Ashton Kutcher was said to have gotten so immersed in the role of the iconic Steve Jobs that he ate the same fruitarian diet, studied like him, listened to the same music as him and walked the same way as him. That, however, was still not enough to save the movie from a pointed, critical review from Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, who said the movie let him down a bit and “it fell a bit flat”.
Jay-Z is no slouch when it comes to the innovation department. In this photo, he takes a sip of water before he stages his marathon version of “Picasso Baby” from his latest album Magna Carta at New York’s Pace Gallery. Jay-Z was not the only star there; luminaries such as Marina Abramovic, director Judd Apatow and actors Alan Cumming, Rosie Perez and Taraji P. Henson also attended and joined in the performance at times.
Actor Wilmer Valderrama takes a moment to reflect on his good fortune while sitting outside in New York’s iconic Meatpacking District. The ambitious actor recently signed with Pantelion Studios, an indie production company that is a partnership between Lionsgate and Televisa, to to a variety of projects, including both television and film.
Julianne Hough, two-time champion of Dancing With The Stars, takes a break from choreographing and dancing to jump off a boat as the sun sets. According to her, it “never gets old”. She recently returned to Dancing With The Stars as a guest judge.
Actress Minka Kelly shares her view of a gorgeous sunrise. She might be inclined to get away again, especially since her breakup with Captain America star Chris Evans was announced. According to various sources, their different work schedules made a relationship difficult to maintain. Currently Minka Kelly is filming the television series Almost Human in Vancouver.
