Camila Cabello is launching a new mental health effort with a very specific goal — helping frontline workers of all kinds overcome their issues.
The “Havana” singer donated the seed money for the Healing Justice Project, and has matched all donations dollar-for dollar — a total of $250,000 so far. The initial round of 10 organizations will receive grants to cover six months’ worth of mental health care for workers.

Lady Gaga was in Washington, DC Tuesday night on the eve of her historic national anthem performance at yesterday’s Presidential Inauguration, and she took some time to visit the U.S. Capitol and say a prayer.
Gaga tweeted a photo of herself praying inside the empty rotunda, which was filled with rioters two weeks ago. She wrote, “I pray tomorrow will be a day of peace for all Americans. A day for love, not hatred. A day for acceptance not fear. A day for dreaming of our future joy as a country. A dream that is non-violent, a dream that provides safety for our souls.”

Stevie Nicks tells NPR.org that being in a band is like being on a basketball team. “In the Fleetwood Mac world … it’s like you’re on a basketball team. You have to be a team player when you’re in a band. You’re never going to be able to be like that freewheeling, roller-skating woman that I am in my own world.”
