Celebrity Activists!

Even better than the A-listers, Global Citizen also gives back. The platform has a goal of ending extreme poverty by 2030 and plans to do so by educating global citizens about the systemic causes of extreme poverty, having them take action on those issues and even offering rewards for these actions as part of a global community committed to lasting change. These commitments and policy announcements positively impact more than 2.5 billion people.

If you’re unable to make it to the actual festival, don’t fret. For the sixth consecutive year, MSNBC and Comcast NBCUniversal have teamed up with the Global Citizen Festival to air an exclusive live simulcast of the festival beginning at 4 p.m. ET on MSNBC, MSNBC.com and NBC News Now.

Smell like a Kardashian — and throw your friends for a loop like Donald Glover . Kourtney Kardashian  doesn’t have to go to Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory to find her Golden Ticket when fragrance brand Snif offers her favorite scent by the same name. “Have your tea and wear it too,” the company says of the fragrance, which features notes of “bergamot, black tea, green tea, golden maté, sage, galbanum (green, woody), incense, amber [and] vetiver,” according to their official website . Snif — which encourages shoppers to “trust your own damn nose” — promises buyers “accessible luxury” to their products, which also includes candles.

Red Carpet Date! Sophia Bush and Grant Hughes Attend WHCA Dinner

Finding The One! Sophia Bush has kept her romance with Grant Hughes relatively private since the pair were first spotted together in Malibu in May 2020.

That is something that the actress and activist has intentionally changed, she explained in June 2021. “It’s hard to have nothing that’s yours. And when you are a person who lives in the public eye, everybody wants to pick over everything and that can be really tricky,” the False Positive actress told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I also grew up in the early aughts when girls were raked over the coals for any choices that they made. And I just was like, ‘I don’t think I like this.’ I didn’t like having my private life lied about. There were times where someone would send through an article and be like, ‘Well, supposedly you’re dating t...
