The Teen Choice Awards took place last night in Los Angeles and Twitter’s teen contingent is making itself known with tweets in support of their favourite artists.

RIP Amy Winehouse

Daniel Radcliffe, who is 23 today, may well have moved on to other projects, but as Twitter is determined to remind him, he will always be the a 12-year-old speccy wizard Harry Potter. @Universo_HP says “Happy Bday Daniel Radcliffe virou span, vamos usar agora Dan Our Eternal Harry.” Whatever that means.
Arab League
The Arab League have called on Syrian president Assad to step down, in exchange for a “safe exit”. @Remrom says “The Arab League said something. No one listend.”
