The sexy songstress Lana Del Rey has apparently been a bit under the weather lately and was forced to cancel her upcoming concert in St. Petersburg due to a throat infection!

That's our gurl!
Although Russia's Deputy Prime Minister has labeled Madonna a slut for trying "lecture everyone on morality," she's not even remotely deterred from sticking up for what is right!

This Material Girl is fearless!
Madonna is not happy that the three women comprising the Russian punk band Pussy Riot have been locked up for speaking out against Vladimir Putin.
We heard she had spoken up on their behalf while in Moscow earlier this week, but now we get to SEE it (above)!

We're really impressed, Mickey!
Yesterday, Mickey Rourke visited a children's hospital in St. Petersburg, where he handed out gifts to patients.
Rourke is currently in the city with Sharon Stone and Paul Anka, all of whom are involved in a charity initiative to fight eye disease in children.
Glad to see you continuing to turn things around, Mickey! This is a wonderful and selfless way to spend your time!
Keep it up, bb!
