The Weeknd and Shakira will headline Global Citizen Festival supporting energy access and the Amazon
The Weeknd and Shakira — two of the world's biggest touring artists — will headline this fall's Global Citizen Festival in New York 's Central Park, supporting campaigns to improve energy access across Africa and defend the Amazon against deforestation. Global Citizen announced Tuesday that the pop stars behind such hits as 'Blinding Lights' and 'Hips Don't Lie" will be joined by Tyla, Ayra Starr and Mariah the Scientist at the concert on Sept. 27. Hosted by actor Hugh Jackman, the annual event highlights the anti-poverty nonprofit's selected humanitarian priorities and urges attendees to collectively tackle those issues through direct support. 'The fact that these artists have immediate proximity to communities that have either recently emerged out of extreme poverty, or are emerging out of extreme poverty, gives them amazing perspective,' Global Citizen CEO Hugh Evans told The Associated Press. 'And they bring that perspective into Central Park at this moment where I think the world needs a moment of unity now more than ever.' The festival's goals involve securing commitments to bring clean, reliable energy to 1 million people in Africa; mobilizing $200 million for indigenous and local entrepreneurs to protect an Italy-sized chunk of the Amazon rainforest; and raising at least $30 million to help community-based education programs improve children's literacy. Tickets to the festival are free, but fans must earn them by taking actions through the Global Citizen app. Opportunities include uploading videos calling on German and French leaders to back the Amazon protection plan and volunteering to mentor young people worldwide in career development. This year's calls to action reflect the changing nature of online advocacy campaigns. Organizers find that social media posts and email-driven appeals don't carry the same weight as they did when Global Citizen first started rallying concertgoers. Evans said user-generated content such as a self-recorded clip creates "quality engagement" and makes it almost impossible to game the system. In The Weeknd and Shakira, Global Citizen is reuniting with previous artistic supporters at a time when they are packing stadiums. The Weeknd, who this month wrapped a four-night run of sold-out performances at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium, is donating $1 from every ticket sale to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. Shakira, who recently completed seven consecutive sold-out shows in Mexico City, joined Coldplay onstage during a 2017 edition of the festival in Germany. "Music has always been my way of connecting with people and leaving a mark on the world," Shakira said in a statement. 'I can't wait to perform, unite, and inspire action.' ___ Associated Press coverage of philanthropy and nonprofits receives support through the AP's collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.

Steve Coogan says he now dresses the same as character Alan Partridge
Steve Coogan, 59, has stated he feels he is increasingly morphing into his long-standing alter-ego, Alan Partridge, a character he has played for over three decades since 1991. Coogan recounted an incident where he discovered he was wearing a shirt identical to one prepared for Partridge on set, leading him to feel the lines between himself and the character were blurring. He explained that he needed to change into the costume shirt for his 'own sanity' to maintain a clear distinction between his identity and Partridge's. A new Partridge series, 'And Did Those Feet… with Alan Partridge,' is forthcoming, which will see the character return to his home county of Norfolk after working in Saudi Arabia. Coogan is also set to reunite with Rob Brydon for a fifth season of 'The Trip,' with filming scheduled to commence in Scandinavia later this year.

NFL coach Jim Harbaugh goes viral in bizarre clip of him peeking through a curtain to watch his team practice
The Los Angeles Chargers were back in practice on Monday and nobody seemed to be happier about it than their eccentric head coach, Jim Harbaugh. As preparations for the 2025 campaign stepped up and the players got back out onto the practice field, a Chargers admin caught Harbaugh bizarrely staring through a curtain at his players. To make things seem even more suspicious, Harbaugh was wearing a cap and sunglasses, almost as if he was trying to disguise his appearance. The team itself clearly saw the funny side given they posted it out onto social media, simply writing as the caption: 'Wait for it'. Fans immediately leapt onto the image of Harbaugh, with some comparing it to Jack Nicholson 's 'Here's Johnny' scene from the 1980 horror film The Shining. Another fan described Harbaugh as 'a national treasure' while a different Chargers supporter replied saying: 'I love it - definitely my new meme template.' wait for it — Los Angeles Chargers (@chargers) July 21, 2025 Harbaugh has never made any secret of how much he enjoys the first day of training camp ahead of a new campaign. Speaking in July 2024 ahead of his first season leading the team he said: 'It's like New Year's Day. It feels like being born. It feels like coming out of the womb. 'You're in there. It's comfortable and safe, and now you're out. You're born. Lights are on, it's bright, chaos, people looking at you, people talking at you, and it just feels good to have it happen.' But perhaps Harbaugh is especially excited this time around after having a difficult offseason. The 61-year-old underwent a successful heart procedure and hip replacement surgery earlier this year. He told reporters in June: 'The doctors can't find anything wrong with me. It would take my heart stopping for me not to be out there on the sideline.' The Chargers start the season with a bang, heading to Brazil to face last season's Super Bowl runners-up, the Kansas City Chiefs, in Sao Paulo on Friday, September 5. They follow that game with a trip to Vegas to play the Raiders before hosting the Denver Broncos in Week 3.
