## Transcript

In a world of stars studded selfies, can a Texas man break Ellen DeGeneres' Oscar selfie re- tweet record. On Tuesday Terry Shipman posted this selfie to Twitter with his two furry friends, adding Let's see if we can beat the Oscar re- tweets. And it's a true underdog story, with a little more than 100, 000 re- tweets, Terry still needs more than 3 million more just to catch up with Ellen's record- breaking selfie. Luckily, Terry has some help. Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover girl Chrissy Teigen retweeted the selfie, and posted her support to Twitter. I love you @ terry_shipman. It might take longer but we're gonna make your dream come true.

It seems everyone is trying to mimic the now- iconic Oscar selfie. Even the Simpsons got in on the action. While Ellen may get all the credit, it's actually Bradley Cooper who may cash in. According to TMZ, the person who owns the now famous photo is the person who actually took it, not the person who owns the camera or organized the shoot. That means Cooper is the copyright owner. It all translates into cash. It could come in handy if that Hangover money runs out. Thanks for watching, I'm Cliff Judy.
