Oscar and Grammy winner Billie Eilish puts her money where her mouth is — and she's telling other affluent people to do the same. The 23-year-old singer is donating $11.5M of ticket sales from her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour to charitable organizations that support food equity and climate justice. And on accepting the Wall Street Journal Magazine's Music Innovator of the Year award earlier this week in New York, she called out other wealthy people who don't use their cash to help others. "There’s a few people in here who have a lot more money than me. If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away,” she told an audience that included Mark Zuckerberg. Here's more from @RollingStone.

Is Pedro Pascal, one of the most vocal progressive celebrities, the victim of a social media smear campaign, and if so, why? Pascal, who has criticized Hollywood's "passivity" over Gaza, spoken out in support of trans rights and called JK Rowling a "heinous loser," is facing viral accusations on X and on some news websites that he has been groping women. Some of these rumors are based on faked videos and an interview that he never gave, despite it being cited by Google's AI summaries. "The basis of the allegations against Pascal isn’t true, and none of the women he’s been accused of groping have said so themselves," writes Kat Tenbarge, for her Spitfire News newsletter. "What’s happening to Pascal across these viral posts is a smear campaign, one spearheaded by bigots against a celebrity whose inclusive stance directly challenges their beliefs." Here's more.

We seem to have entered the #era of #celebrity #marriage as #performance #art.

I think it started with Jon Richardson though I may have missed earlier iterations.

For a while we've had an assortment of farming couples including Jeremy Clarkson.

Now they're graduating to using marriage to revive moribund careers such as the case with Noel Edmonds.

It's no wonder #genz has a jaundiced outlook. It didn't happen in a vacuum.
