So epic!

We aren't sure our granddad ever wore a fringed jacket over a polka dotted button-down like Macklemore, but the rapper is right about one thing — he does look incredible, LOLz!

Big mack attacked the stage at our ah-mazingly awesome One Night In… Austin event on Sunday, and we wouldn't be able to live with ourselves if we didn't show you the sweet music made with Ryan Lewis and Wanz!

Ch-ch-ch-check out their tag boner-popping performance of Thrift Shop (above)!

Even better, their ruthless rendition of their hit song helped raise over $53,000 for two sweet charities!

Thanks again to everyone who helped and attended!!

For the sixth straight year, we took our talented friends to Austin and blew everyone's minds with SXSW's most ass-kicking event!

Words haven't been invented to accurately describe the awesomeness of Sunday's One Night In… Austin partAAy, but we will try and paint a picture of the gloriousness anyway!!

There was fabulous music and delicious drinks! Our favorite celebz mingled with our perezilicous fans!

Fall Out Boy surprised the crap out of everyone by playing a fabulous set!

And, best of all, we raised over $53,000 for two of our fantastic charities!!!

It's true!!

In addition to showcasing the most anticipated performances at SXSW, our event successfully raised $53,000 for VH1 Save The Music Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to restoring instrumental music education in America's public schools and GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network, a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring safe schools for all and creating a world in which every child learns to respect and accept all people, regardless of sexual orientation!

We're proud to have collected so much cash for such great causes, but we certainly couldn't have done it alone!

We couldn't have thrown such an amazing party and raised so much money without

The Baby Planners are honoring National Breast Cancer Awareness Month by sharing their favorite products that also give back.

Many items for both babies and moms donate a portion of their proceeds to breast cancer charities and Ellie & Melissa want to give Perezitos.com readers all the info on how they can help too!

There are a number of foundations, walks, and products devoted to raising money for breast cancer research, education and support this month so keep on the look out for "Pink Ribbon Items" that are sold to help support breast cancer research and who donate a portion of the proceeds to breast cancer charities.

Check out celebrity fave Little Giraffe. Their soft, luxurious baby blankets have won over Victoria Beckham, Rachel Zoe, Christina Applegate, Katie Holmes, Angelina Jolie, Kelly Preston, and Miranda Kerr, and during the month of October, Little Giraffe will be donating 10% of all proceeds from their popular pink Luxe blankets and throws to Breast Cancer research. Giving back never felt so cozy and comforting!

And it'll make you feel better when spending too! Thanks, Baby Planners!

Ninja Turtles and Transformers action figures are great…but can they get ill like MCA, Mike D, and The King Ad-Rock??? Didn't think so!

Check out the brand new Beastie Boys action figures (above) which you've hopefully seen previously in the group's Spike Jonze-directed Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win music video, featuring Santigold.

If you haven't seen that GENIUS video, check it out HERE, and then check out the website and order a set of the action figures. They only cost $750!

And no, we're not kidding about that price tag…but at least your $$$ will be going to charities that are dedicated to fighting childhood cancer. Can't say no to that!

Will U order a set or two of Beastie Boys action figures?

Wow.

Despite the controversy over News of the World hacking cell phones of 9/11 victims, the paper's final issue sold ABSURD amounts!

According to the latest numbers, the paper sold 3.8 MILLION COPIES on Sunday!!!

We obvi have major issues with the phone hacking claims against NOTW, but we'll admit we were happy to hear that advertising space in the issue was provided free of charge for charities/good causes.

Guess we'll see which paper fills the void for Brits now that NOTW is gone…

Can't say that we're shocked, but it's still so unfortunate.

The National Enquirer is reporting that there is a war brewing over who gets what from the late, great Elizabeth Taylor's $600 million estate, with sources close to the situation revealing that her family is upset that the icon's manager, Jason Winters, was made administrator of her will!

Her four children, Michael and Christopher Wilding, and Liza Todd and Maria Burton, apparently feel as though Winters took advantage of his relationship with Taylor in order to secure himself a huge portion of her estate - despite the fact that they're all expected to receive around $100 million EACH!

The insider explains:

"Jason was there for Elizabeth. She was mesmerized by him. Now there's more than $600 million at stake. Liz earmarked a lot for charity, and her kids definitely will be taken care of. But friends see Jason as an interloper who breezed into Liz's life in her final years and now will be making decisions on who gets what. Plus he'll get a chunk for himself and a fee for his role as administrator! Her children must feel insulted Liz didn't choose any of them to take care of her business affairs. But, in truth, Jason was a lifesaver for Liz during her darkest days. He was great company, and made her feel like the star she was. She didn't think a price could be put on such a dear friend."

A large portion of her fortune will also be designated for various AIDS charities, and of course, to Jason himself.

But hey - if this is what she wanted, then it's the family's responsibility to honor that, and not let finances put a strain on paying tribute to such a wonderful and important life!

Here's hoping that they can keep this in mind and resolve this nonsense as amicably as possible.

It's what Elizabeth would have wanted, we're sure.
