The selfie stick measured an extraordinary 8.56 metres (28 ft 1 inch) more than eight times longer than the average. The stars, including Penelope Cruz, Owen Wilson, Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell posed together for posterity.
To succeed, the device had to function in the same way as a standard selfie device, and a valid selfie to be captured. Official Guinness World Records adjudicator Mark McKinley awarded the record and presented Ben Stiller with a certificate in front of the celebrity guests and fans.
On Saturday's "SNL," the pair of Derek Zoolander and Hansel hilariously held forth with host Colin Jost on fashion crimes apparently committed by this year's crop of presidential candidates. The dopey pair confused Ted Cruz with Tom Cruise, label Trump a classic male model and declared Sanders, the champion of the 99 percent - off at J.C. Penney's!
Even Hilary Clinton was not spared, with Zoolander (Stiller) comparing her style to the North Korean fashion dictator, Kim Jong-un. Not to be outdone, Hansel (Wilson) says, "Hillary's from the '90s, which are very hot right now," citing revivals of the "X-Files" and "Full House" on TV.
Fashion is always hot and politics at any time a hot plate, now more than ever with the Presidential Elections in full swing. The sequel to the 2001 comedy, sees endearingly foolish and overconfident models Zoolander and Hansel thwart a conspiracy to assassinate the world's most beautiful people.
