She's such an inspiration!

Cyndi Lauper will be doing a star-studded True Colors holiday concert to benefit LGBT youth this December.

Celebs who will be making special appearances are Norah Jones, Amy Lee, Rosie O'Donnell, Wanda Sykes, Carson Kressley, Chely Wright, Skylar Grey, Vanessa Carlton, Angelique Kidjo, Harvey Fierstein, Deluka, Debbie Harry, Alan Cumming and Clay Aiken.

Cyndi was inspired to create the benefit concert after meeting with a group of young homeless gay and transgender teens in NYC several years ago. It's estimated that 30%-40% of all homeless youth identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender.

Adele is just unstoppable!!

This week, her album 21 officially sold 10 million copies after just seven months from its initial release.

Experts say that it will most likely sell 13 million by the end of the year, which means, just under 1 million copies will be sold per month.

Guuuurl, you are unbelievable.

Her manager Jonathan Dickins says:

So cool!

While we don't exactly agree with how Amy Winehouse can sometimes conduct herself, we do have to say we're pretty excited to hear a duet between her and the legendary Tony Bennett.

The two singers recorded the song together in the famous Abbey Road Studios, and the collab is supposed to appear on Bennett's upcoming Duets II, which comes out September 20th.

Chances are we'll probably hear it before then!

So who else is on the record?

As well as Winehouse, the new album will feature contributions from Mariah Carey, Sheryl Crow and Norah Jones.

Wow, Tony! Sounds pretty epic to us!

We can't wait to hear the album, that's for sure!

Are U looking forward to Duets II??

Another one bites the dust!

Carly Simon is the latest performer to pull out of the Lilith Fair, citing medical reasons after the singer injured her foot.

Organizers of the festival made a statement, saying:

"We are saddened to announce Carly Simon had to withdraw from three Lilith Fair dates for medical reasons.

Last week, Simon suffered an injury by seriously fracturing and breaking her foot, which will prevent her from performing at these shows. Everyone on the Lilith tour wishes Simon a speedy recovery."

This comes after Norah Jones and Kelly Clarkson have announced that they're canceling their appearances on the tour too.

Is anyone still doing Lilith Fair??

The tour just can't catch a break!

Kelly Clarkson has canceled her appearances at Lilith Fair, citing that she has to skip the dates to work on her upcoming studio album.

Norah Jones has already dropped out of the tour and Sarah McLachlan admitted that the tour is suffering from soft ticket sales.

Who knew Lilith would be such a bust?!

This is NOT good!

Due to lackluster sales, Sarah McLachlan's Lilith Fair has been canceling tour dates!

Norah Jones was scheduled to play between August 10 and 16 in West Palm Beach, Tampa, Birmingham, Dallas and Houston, but according to her management all of those dates have been canceled.

Venues have been changed in some cities as well to smaller spaces because of the soft ticket sales.

What gives??

Did U buy tickets to Lilith?
