Last Saturday, the Global Poverty Project hosted the Global Citizen Festival on the Great Lawn of Central Park in NYC.

All sorts of artists performed including Neil Young with Crazy Horse, the Foo Fighters, The Black Keys, Band of Horses, K’naan and John Legend.

Through their supporting non-profits partners, the festival announced $1,314,700,000 in commitments that will go to support anti-poverty initiatives!

That's an unbelievable amount!

We're so glad the festival was such a huge success!

Check out the video (above) to hear Dave Grohl, of the Foo Fighters, and Hugh Evans, CEO and co-founder of The Global Poverty Project, thank everyone who helped them get over a billion dollars of support!

X Factor judge and singing starlet, Demi Lovato, has been no stranger to body image issues and self-harm struggles.

Though, instead of keeping those battles to herself, Demi often finds strength in sharing her personal stories of how she’s overcome.

And we don't think there is ANYTHING wrong with that!

This definitely was the case this past Sunday, when a fan tossed a Barbie on stage for DemDem while she performed at the Z Festival in Rio de Janeiro!

Check out Demi’s inspirational outlook and stunning performance of Skyscraper from the gig (above)!!!

Consider us Lovatics, because Demi definitely defines what it means to stay strong!

We are so glad that she is able to be such an AH-Mazing role model in our image-conscious society!

Justin Bieber wasn't even present when Billie Joe Armstrong blasted him at iHeart Radio Fest on Friday.

So why him?? Why'd he target the Biebs???

Well WE think it's cuz he's Usher's protégé!!

You see… Green Day had to shorten their time on stage because Usher was given more time to perform.

Furious with feelings of disrespect, the frontman went off about his band's tenure in the industry. Basically saying they deserved more than the treatment they were given (true), he then said:

John Travolta is in Zurich right now representing his movie Savages, which just hit the 2012 Zurich Film Festival.

All eyes were on him.

You'd think that would make someone who has been through soooo much lately, like a number of lawsuits that were filed against him from masseurs who claimed he had inappropriately touched and propositioned them (which have since been dropped), would feel apprehensive to really field questions and put himself out there.

Turns out, he knows how to handle it all in stride!

In a rare interview with the press, John opened up about his life, saying:
