This is such a cool program!

Thanks to Tony and Grammy Award-winning artist Lin-Manuel Miranda, the Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center in the Bronx is offering local independent artists health services in exchange for their creative services.

For every hour they perform or lead a creative activity at the hospital, artists who can't afford health insurance earn 40 "health credits", equal to $40, toward medical care.

This guy isn't even from America, but yet he's selflessly helping out our nation's hungry!

Swedish DJ Avicii (wearing the gray hat) and his manager stopped by the New York City Rescue Mission food kitchen on Monday afternoon to volunteer while on his $1 million House For Hunger January Tour.

The tour features 26 shows in 27 days and was designed to quickly raise a cool million dollars for Feeding America. Although he's European, the DJ explained he still felt compelled to help Americans in need, saying:

If you're trying to think of a good gift this year, the Arcade Fire is recommending giving their money to Haiti!

The band, who won a Grammy last year for Album of the Year, is matching any donations to Kanpe, a charity dedicated to helping Haiti's most "vulnerable populations in their fight for a better future."

Frontman Win Butler announced the fundraiser on the band's website, writing:

"If you are having a hard time deciding what to get your friends and family for gifts this year, give them our money! For any donation you make to Kanpe this holiday season, the band will match it. We will also send a nifty little post card, signed by Regine and I, to put under the tree, or wherever you put your gifts (it’s not our business). For any silicone valley jerks who might try to bankrupt us, let’s put the upper limit at 300,000$… Have a great holiday!"

We're sure every little bit helps and what Arcade Fire fan wouldn't want a personal post card from their favorite band?

Miranda Lambert is one of the most beautiful music stars out there today. Not only is a she strong a role model for women because of her professional accomplishments, but because she actually looks like a REAL woman!

The curvaceous Grammy winner talked to Shape magazine to reveal how she keeps her body looking so good, even in the middle of a national tour!

We can't say it enough and virtually every health conscious celebrity seems to agree — don't diet, just focus on eating right. It's hard to differentiate between dieting and eating healthy, but Miranda clarifies pretty well, saying:
