Our social media scout Cam Mansel gives you the run down of things you might have missed in the weird and wonderful world of celebrity social media.

Two high profile transgender stars have finally met.

Reality star and former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner invited LGTIB advocate and Orange Is The New Black star Laverne Cox to a special screening of her new reality show I Am Cait.

Cox shared the experience with her 1.3 million Instagram followers, posting a number of photos at the screening with the hashtags #TransIsBeautiful and #girlslikeus.

"@caitlynjenner and I finally met in person at a special private advance screening of #IAmCait. #TransIsBeautiful #girlslikeus #caitlynjenner," Cox wrote on Instagram.

Cox was joined by a number of well-known transgender women for I Am Cait, which details Jenner's transformation.

The two stars have previously shown their support for each other on social media but have never met in person.

Lavern Cox said she was "deeply moved" after Jenner's ESPYs speech. "I feel like an historic moment happened for my community tonight," she posted on twitter.

In turn, Jenner has said heaped praise on Cox.

"@LaverneCox, you are fierce and fabulous!" Jenner replied on Twitter.

.@LaverneCox, you are fierce and fabulous! Your support means the world. Thank you for all that you do for the community. #TransIsBeautiful
