5 of the best celebrity-inspired hashtags

The latest trend in social media? Celebrity-inspired hashtags. Because you can’t really be a true A-lister until you’ve trended on Twitter, we rounded up some of the best hashtag memes brought to you by the stars.

1) #Riccing

It all started in November, when actress Christina Ricci posted a photo of herself squeezed into a dryer. Next up was a hotel minifridge. Now celebs like Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan and everyday plebes can’t stop snapping themselves squishing into confined spaces ranging from a dryer to a sink.

2) #Lawrencing

When Jennifer Lawrence walked onto the Golden Globes red carpet in a white Oscar de la Renta dress that resembled a trash bag cinched with black packing tape, her fans wanted to pay homage to the, well, let’s call it less-than-flattering garment. Cue #Lawrencing. Everyone from Colton Haynes (of “Arrow”) to little puppy dogs has donned their own version of the “Hunger Games” star’s dress disaster.

3) #LeBroning

LeBron James may be 6-foot-8, 250 pounds and a four-time NBA MVP, but the basketball star has an uncanny ability to theatrically collapse on the court whenever an opposing player ever so slightly brushes against him. He gets a foul called. We get a new meme.

Here are some students giving #LeBroning their very best effort:

4) #Kaepernicking

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick celebrated a touchdown against the Green Bay Packers in 2013 like any athlete would: He kissed his bicep (while flexing, of course). Since then, fans have been #Kaepernicking like pros. So much so that Mr. Kaepernick went ahead and trademarked the pose. Because, well, why not?

5) #Eastwooding

When Clint Eastwood spoke at the 2012 Republican National Convention and chatted with an empty chair, onstage, pretending it was Barack Obama, he became an Internet sensation. #Eastwooding is now officially known as the act of talking to an empty chair. Try it at your own risk.
