Meryl Streep has her fair share of a Cinderella moment at the 65th Annual British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards. On Sunday, February 12, the 62-year-old actress lost one of her black Jimmy Choo heels as she made her way to the stage inside London's Royal Opera House to pick up her Best Actress trophy.

Fortunately for the leading lady of "The Iron Lady", Colin Firth was there to retrieve the stiletto shoe and put it back on her foot. After giving her "Mamma Mia!" co-star a smack on the lips for the help, she joked with the audience, "That couldn't have gone any worse," and continued to deliver her acceptance speech.

Contrary to earlier claim, Lil Wayne was not arrested on gun charges backstage at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards. Setting the record straight was none other than Bryan "Birdman" Williams, the co-founder of the "6 Foot 7 Foot" rapper's label, Cash Money Records.

Lady GaGa often stole the spotlight with her outrageous fashion. In fact, the Mother Monster made headlines with her giant egg entrance at last year's Grammy Awards. 2012 offered a different story though.

Coming to the 54th Annual Grammy Awards, GaGa opted to go with a custom Chanel creation.

The "Wet the Bed" singer came up with the message after he made his return to the Grammys' stage for the first time since he got arrested for assaulting Rihanna back in 2009. In the tweet, he further expressed his excitement by writing, "Im just happy to inspire growth and positivity! #TEAMBREEZYdidit."
