FireAid benefit concert: Follow live performances
The FireAid benefit concert on Jan. 30 will go down in history not only because it features some of the biggest names in music taking the same stage, but for the message of hope and unity those artists spread. And, hopefully, their performances will raise a monumental sum to aid in recovery and rebuilding.
So many musicians wanted to bring their spotlight to the cause, that what was initially set as a single event turned into dual concerts, both of which will be streamed for free on major streaming services, social media like YouTube and TikTok and broadcast stations.
Performers at the newly opened Intuit Dome include Billie Eilish, Jelly Roll, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Lil Baby, Olivia Rodrigo, Peso Pluma, Rod Stewart, Stevie Wonder, Sting, Tate McRae and Earth, Wind & Fire.
At L.A. landmark Kia Forum, Alanis Morissette, Graham Nash, Green Day, John Fogerty, Joni Mitchell, No Doubt, Pink, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stephen Stills, Stevie Nicks, the Black Crowes and John Mayer will perform.

Contributions made to FireAid at fireaidla.org will be distributed under the advisement of the Annenberg Foundation and all proceeds will go directly to the event's designated beneficiaries.

Green Day
Green Day kicked off the Kia Forum FireAid show with a subdued version of 'Last Night on Earth.' As singer Billie Joe Armstrong, playing acoustic guitar, started the chorus of 'sending all my love to you,' Billie Eilish, wearing a striped polo and tie, walked out as a surprise (she is scheduled for the Intuit Dome show starting later). The two Billies shared the chorus in front of a backdrop of stirring photos of fire rescue efforts.
Green Day's set also included 'Still Breathing' and the band's pop-punk favorite, 'When I Come Around,' featuring a blond Armstrong shouting out many of the California cities destroyed by the fires, including Altadena and Pacific Palisades. 'We are in this together,' he yelled.

In Season 2 of the series, Peacemaker "discovers an alternate world where life is everything he wishes it could be." However, it is also puts him in a position where he is forced "to face his traumatic past and take the future into his own hands." Cena, during a Season 2 panel for the action-comedy series at Comic-Con, said Peacemaker 'is going through a rough patch in life and thinks the grass might be greener on the other side.' 'That's something people can relate to," the actor had added.

Car Crashes Into Food Influencers Through Restaurant Window While They Were Filming
Two vloggers are recovering after a car crashed into the restaurant where they were filming a food review. Patrick Blackwood and Nina Santiago were about 10 minutes into their review of CuVee's Culinary Creations in Houston on Aug. 16, when they caught the terrifying moment on video. The two posted the full incident on their YouTube channel two days later, showing them biting into their food as a car crashes into the window near their booth. Patrick appears to be sitting closest to the window and was covered with shattered glass as Nina is seen falling out of her seat. After looking around, Patrick then helps Nina get up from the floor as they walk away. According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, the female driver claimed she thought she put her black SUV in park outside of the restaurant and after releasing her foot off the brake, the vehicle rolled into the building. The sheriff's office says the two people inside the booth were injured and taken to a local hospital. Nina and Patrick documented their journey in the ambulance and at the hospital on video, showing some of the scratches on their faces, chins and arms. They were also visibly shaken when recounting the crash on camera. Solve the daily Crossword
