Kim Kardashian is rocking the VMAs tomorrow as a presenter, but she’s also rocking no makeup this weekend. And she looks stunning, so much so that if she decides to go sans makeup at the VMAs we probably wouldn’t even notice!

Kardashian’s been working on a couple of new beauty routines as of late, such as using a waist-shaper, which involves working out with a corset. If we had to choose to do one of them between the two, we’ll probably go without the makeup… probably.

“It’s a no makeup kinda weekend” she captioned the snap. Be sure to tune in to see if Kardashian keeps up her makeup-less weekend when she presents at the 2014 VMAs tomorrow at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Ferguson, Missouri has seen three consecutive nights of relative calm following two weeks of violent clashes between police and protesters in the wake of the shooting death of Michael Brown. Many artists have responded and shared their thoughts, from J. Cole visiting Ferguson to show his support to protesters, to T.I. speaking out on Instagram.

Now Chan Marshall, a.k.a. Cat Power, and Sky Ferreira are also joining in the growing chorus of voices lending support to the protesters who’ve been rallying on behalf of the unarmed teen killed by a Ferguson police officer. Marshall has been vocal on Twitter about her dismay over what has been taking place in the St. Louis suburb. On Friday, she announced she would perform a free benefit concert tomorrow night.

According to Consequence Of Sound, Cat Power invited Ferreira to join her, but Ferreira already had a concert scheduled so instead, Ferreira will donate proceeds to the cause from her own show. “@catpowerofficial is playing a show tomorrow. I’m trying to find a way to come but I’m contractually obligated to another show,” Ferreira wrote on Instagram. “The $$$ for my performance will go towards this & I will be there in spirit.”

Cat Power is scheduled to perform two shows at Firebird in St. Louis tomorrow.

Ariana Grande sure knows how to make Arianators feel special. This past week, the VMA performer gifted fans with four new tracks from My Everything (even her album title makes you feel loved) and even shared a photo of the album with a cute cat.

But if you still weren’t sure of her devotion, Ari dropped a teaser of “Only One.” The romantic, R&B-tipped track features the “Baby I” songstress swooning about a special someone. “You’re the only one,” she croons. ” ‘Cause you look twice as good as anyone I’ve ever met/ And your love just becomes better/ How could anyone forget?”

Coupled with a video background of fluffy clouds, there’s probably no way the dreamy song wouldn’t strike a chord in the heart of her only one.

Ariana’s not just teasing new music though. The multiple VMA nominee (Best Female, Best Pop to name a few) is also gearing up to take the stage — twice! — on Sunday night, when she’ll perform her hit “Break Free” and help Jessie J open the show with Nicki Minaj on “Bang Bang.”

We’ll add this to our list of “More Reasons To Be Excited About Ari’s My Everything,” which drops just one day after she takes the stage tomorrow for the MTV VMAs at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

One of the reasons fans loveDemi Lovato is because she’s always been candid about her own personal struggles. She even opened up in MTV’s 2012 documentary “Demi Lovato: Stay Strong” about depression, eating disorders, self-harm and more following her time at a treatment center in 2010.

In 2011, she revealed she was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, and more recently as Billboard reports, the VMA nominee announced she’ll be joining The Mental Health Listening & Engagement Tour to further advocate for mental health support and treatment.

As part of the announcement she shared a PSA where she talks about bipolar disorder. The Jed Foundation, which promotes emotional health and preventing suicide, helped launch the Sunovion Pharmaceuticals-supported tour.

“Bipolar depression really got my life off track,” she shares in the PSA clip. “But today I’m proud to say I am living proof that someone can live, love and be well with bipolar disorder when they get the education, support and treatment they need.”

Lovato says in the video that through the tour she will be learning from mental health advocates and hopes to be a source of inspiration for others. “I want to shine a light on the people out there who, like me, are learning to live well mental illness by getting the right diagnosis and finding the right treatment plan,” she explains in the video. “I want to be the most informed and powerful advocate I can be and to help ...

If you’re anything like us, you’ve marathoned through “House Of Cards” and are jonesing for more. Fortunately, Underwood has returned to cook up a hilarious video with none other than former First Lady and U.S. senator Hillary Clinton.

In this video for the The Clinton Foundation featuring Spacey is full-blown Underwood, but playing just one character isn’t enough for him, so he prank calls Hillary Clinton pretending to be Bill.

For the clip, “Underwood” does a spot-on Bill Clinton impersonation and implores Hillary to purchase an elephant for his upcoming birthday. In reality, Bill turns 68 this Tuesday, (August 19), but the gift request is a reference to Hillary and Chelsea Clinton’s campaign to curb elephant poaching and ivory trafficking.

“Don’t you think that could be a little dangerous for our dogs?,” Hillary deadpans. Undeterred, Spacey/Underwood/Clinton/ then suggests some choice names for Chelsea’s baby, but his gag is up when Hillary calls Spacey out and asks him to sign Bill’s birthday card.

There’s also a clever reference to Hillary’s potential presidential bid, which we won’t spoil for you.

Silly Frank, at this point in the game, there’s just no fooling Hillary.

“OH MY GOD! Oh my God, ohmygod, ohmygod!” is pretty much the appropriate response to Daniel Radcliffe surprising fans in a movie theater. And that’s exactly the reaction the “What If” star elicited when he snuck up on unsuspecting moviegoers following a screening of the film. One girl jumped about seven feet away from him and could hardly take the shock!

In the Buzzfeed Video, fans were interviewed under the guise of sharing their thoughts on the movie, but in reality they were summoned to be surprised by the star.

Amid fans swooning over the movie itself in the clip – Fans are busy co-signing “What If” with reactions like “It was really adorable,” “It was really funny,” and “It was really whimsical” when Radcliffe sneakily jumps into the conversations and introduces himself. And the results are just so charming—the fans reactions were priceless.

“I am freaking out!” says one, and who wouldn’t? Hugs are exchanged and Radcliffe seems genuinely happy and even a little relieved that the moviegoers loved his film. “What if they hated it?” he wonders aloud.

“That was me scaring the s— out of a bunch of people, which is always fun,” Radcliffe said. “It is always nice to like get that kind of genuine reaction from people… I was just delighted that they were into the idea.”

Given how down to earth Radcliffe is with his fans, we’d venture to say he had nothing at all to worry about!

Jimmy Fallon had to know the odds were stacked against him when he challenged action star Jason Statham to a Hamster Ball Race. On Friday’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” the pair both put on their game faces, but only one would emerge the winner.

Yes, that’s right, two grown men racing each other in a simulated “hamster ball” style by running inside of two clear, blow-up balls like little hamsters do to keep themselves occupied.

Statham, who stopped by the show to promote “The Expendables 3,” was practically born to win races, just consider see his butt-kicking roles in “Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels, “The Italian Job” and “Crank,” among others.

He unsurprisingly owned “The Tonight Show” host, easily clearing the designated dancing panda bear halfway marker, but not before doing the equivalent of a hamster ball “fist bump” as he circled to the finish line in Rockefeller Plaza.

There was no bad blood after the contest, though: the out-of-breath Fallon pointed to Statham, saying, “The champ, the best guy, Jason Statham right there. You killed it, buddy!” Indeed. We’d like to see Statham against a real, live hamster next!

A commuter’s worst fear is to be trapped by a train, and an Australian man found himself in that very situation this week. But instead of the nightmare situation turning fatal, the Perth man was able to escape unscathed due to the help of his fellow commuters.

This past Wednesday, Andy was waiting to get on the train when his foot slipped. While his leg was trapped between the platform and the train, the crowd realized what was happening and banded together to push the train. Scores of bystanders and Transperth rail staff physically rocked the train, getting it to move from its suspension enough for Andy to remove his leg.

Watching the happen is heart-stopping—if you’ve ever taken a train, the idea of missing the gap and being pinned has probably crossed your mind. But it’s seeing everyone around Andy joining together to save him that’s truly a beautiful, rare thing.

In a recent interview with PerthNow he explained his dilemma.

“The outcome could have been terrible, worse case scenario I could’ve lost my leg,” he said. “I was sort of a bit wobbly on my feet, it took me a while to sort of get my balance.”

Transperth spokesman David Hynes said his staff quickly directed the rescue.

“The man was freed safely and we handed him over to emergency services. “We understand that he was not badly injured because he stayed at the station and boarded a later train to the city,” he said.

The 29-year-old Andy has ...

Los Angeles is affirming its love for all things cat by hosting the LA Feline Film Festival this fall on September 21. Next to the proliferation of cat cafes, this is the most awesome feline-oriented news we’ve heard in a while!

The festival will be presented by Santa Monica-based company Organikat, a company that makes planet-friendly products for pets, and the Minneapolis’ Walker Art Center. Last year, the center developed the idea for a touring all-feline internet cat film fest—and since it sold out when it came to LA last year, they decided to throw one based there.

Basically, the feline film festival lets thousands of cat-lovers come together to watch hours of a-meow-zing internet cat videos on an 80 foot screen. From 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. there will also be food and beer trucks present, and hopefully you know, some cat food vendors.

Lil Bub

Of course, plenty of celeb kitties will be in attendance, including Lil Bub, Tara Hero Cat and Dusty Klepto Kitty.

Along with all this, there’s going to be opportunities to adopt cats from local no-kill shelters and a portion of ticket sales will be donated to participating cat rescue and adoption groups, including The Kitty Bungalow Charm School for Wayward Cats.

To totally make your Caturday, the festival will welcome cats on leashes or in a carrier. But sorry, no dogs allowed! Check out a clip from last year’s touring fest—cue cute ...

Cultural appropriation is a sensitive topic. It’s spurred a ton of backlash lately, like when Khloe Kardashian decided it would be cool to wear a Native American headdress or when Pharrell also wore one on the cover of Elle.

Is it okay for people who aren’t of a specific culture to still use elements from it? Well, Adam Lambert thinks it isn’t as big a deal as some people make it out to be.

This week, he took to Twitter to discuss his thoughts on the appropriation of a slightly different strain: that of LGBT culture.

He began the discussion by writing about the blending of cultures:

The singer went on to write that as an artist, different backgrounds and cultures are celebrated:

The singer also posed a question:

Glamberts weighed in on both sides of the discussion. @JustAFanAL wrote, “hm, sure maybe. But being uneducated and ignorant about the culture your (sic) appropriating for your hipster benefits is distasteful.” Others agreed with Lambert, like @sabinnesteffana, who wrote “AMEN.”

Lambert, who’s been on tour with Queen this summer, acknowledged that people will have differing viewpoints on the topic, and that he is speaking from his own perspective.
