A Star Studded Charity Gala Will Be Held at the Malibu Home of Actor Jane Seymour Saturday
The Open Hearts Foundation's annual gala to raise money for the charity created by actor Jane Seymour fifteen years ago to honor her late mother's unfettered philanthropy will be held at the actor's Malibu home this year and will include honors that recognize the wildfires that tore through Los Angeles annual star-studded event is slated to be an "evening of connection, collaboration, and inspiration" that supports Seymour's mission to help Angelenos in need. This year the event will recognize two outstanding Los Angeles County residents: philanthropist and businessman Henry Gluck; and Avery Colvert, who founded Altadena Girls by organizing a drive and collecting clothing, personal care items and essentials for fellow teens who lost everything in the unyielding wildfire.'As tragic and horrifying as these fires were, it was very uplifting to see people stop in their tracks and help in any way possible. That's the foundation of what Open Hearts strives to accomplish,' Seymour told Los Angeles from Dublin last month, where she's filming The Twelve Dates of Christmas, a six-episode limited series for the Hallmark acknowledged that the wildfires hit dangerously close to her home in Malibu, which survived, but so many others were not so lucky. Among the multiple people Seymour, who famously played 'Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman' in the long-running hit TV series of the same name, knew personally who lost everything was her former co-star, Joe Lando, a soap opera veteran who played her character Michaela Quinn's love interest on the show (the enigmatic mountain man Byron Sully). The Palisades home he shared with his family burned to the ground. With nothing left, Seymour took Lando and six other members of his family, two German shepherds and two pet birds into her home as they struggled with the unimaginable loss. Seymour and Lando have been friends since the CBS show premiered in 1993 and ran for six seasons. The duo also appeared together as love interests in the 2022 Lifetime movie, A Christmas Spark. While they both married other people, their friendship remains an enduring one. Lando posted on social media after the Palisades Fire devoured everything his family owned:'Thankfully, there are angels in this world. We're left with nothing, except each other. My friend Jane Seymour allowed us to come up to her house and opened it up for us without any hesitation and, thank God, gave us someplace to come and sleep.' After she heard from Lando —and so many other friends who lost everything in the fires — she decided to open up her home. Her late mother surely would have chastised her if she hadn't. That woman, Mieke Frankenberg, was a spirited one-time Red Cross nurse who survived a Japanese internment camp during World War II by putting her skills and charm to generous spirit was passed on to her daughter with a constant reminder, Seymour remembers. 'Darling, there are always people worse off than you,' Frankenberg would say. 'If you can open your heart and help somebody, you have purpose. And when you have purpose in giving, you are receiving.' That is exactly how Seymour felt during those days, having Lando's family close to her, fortunate to be the recipient of her friend's love and gratitude and surrounded by family, which epitomizes the energy of the Open Hearts Foundation. 'My dream is we have an Open Hearts philosophy spread all over the world that unites and empowers people," she said. "When people are throwing their hands up and living in fear, we are asking what we can all do uniquely right now to help others.' A ticket to the Open Hearts Foundation's annual gala has become coveted, and this year, Seymour is hosting it at her Malibu home to bolster her city —which was devastated by the deadly Palisades Fire that left nearly 7,000 homes and businesses destroyed and claimed 12 lives. The gala will also recognize the devastation of the Eaton Fire that killed 18 people, injured 9 fire-fighters and devoured miles upon miles of homes and businesses in Altadena. This year, the monies raised at the gala will invigorate her charity's focus on funding arts programs for youth affected by the fires.

The Weeknd will bring 'After Hours Til Dawn' stadium tour to Minneapolis
U.S. Bank Stadium may be quiet during the NFL postseason, but it won't be this summer. The Weeknd released his new album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, on Jan. 31 and accompanied the release with a slate of summer tour dates that includes a stop in Minneapolis on June 14. It'll be his first show in Minnesota since performing at Xcel Energy Center in 2017 alongside Gucci Mane. He had a scheduled show at the Wild arena in 2022, but it was canceled as he transitioned from arenas to stadiums in the middle of the tour. The "After Hours Til Dawn" tour promises a "never-before-seen production," which is probably expected given the artist's reputation for putting care into the details. The setlist for his 2024 tour will focus on songs from the trilogy but also include hits from his full catalog. Hurry Up Tomorrow is the final piece of a trilogy of albums that began with 2020's After Hours and includes 2022's Dawn FM. The R&B hitmaker and often meme-able artist performed a song from the new album, "Open Hearts," last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The Weeknd will be joined by Playboi Carter and Mike Dean during the tour, which starts on May 9 in Phoenix. The Minneapolis date is the only tour date in the Upper Midwest outside of a night in Chicago. An artist presale — sign up here — will take place on Wednesday, Feb. 5 at 10 a.m. The general on-sale will take place on Friday, Feb. 7 at 10 a.m. VIP tickets are also available, because that seems to come standard with stadium tours now. The VIP package will come with a ticket to see the Hurry Up Tomorrow film in theaters during its opening week. That movie, a psychological thriller directed by Trey Edward Schults and starring Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan with The Weeknd, will be released on May 16.

Watch the Weeknd's Enigmatic Performance of ‘Open Hearts' on ‘Kimmel'
The Weeknd appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to play his new song, 'Open Hearts'—with an unusual approach. For the late-night show performance, the musician stripped the color from the video feed and showcased the dynamic track in black and white while wearing a hood cloak and glowing eyeglasses. After sparks ignited from the lights above, the video switched back to color to reveal an empty audience with only a clapping baby watching. Things took an even more surreal turn from there as the singer followed the baby into an animated landscape.

The album, out today via XO/Republic Records, also includes previously-released singles 'Timeless,' featuring Playboi Carti, and 'Sao Paulo,' featuring Anitta. Hurry Up Tomorrow acts as the final of a trilogy, following 2020's After Hours and 2022's Dawn FM. The release of Hurry Up Tomorrow was delayed from Jan. 24 to Jan. 31 due to the California fires. The musician, who also canceled a one-night stadium show in Pasadena, California, said he made the decision 'out of respect and concern for the people of Los Angeles County.' He has since donated $1 million to relief funds in the city, including to LAFD Foundation, GoFundMe's Wildfire Relief Fund, and LA Regional Food Bank. Additionally, proceeds from album track 'Take Me Back to LA' will be donated to LA Regional Food Bank, who are providing emergency food assistance to those directly impacted by the LA wildfires. The Weeknd recently revealed that Hurry Up Tomorrow will likely be his final album under the moniker of the Weeknd. 'Everything needs to feel like a challenge. And for me right now, the Weeknd, whatever that is, it's been mastered,' he told Variety. 'No one's gonna do the Weeknd better than me, and I'm not gonna do it better than what it is right now. I think I've overcome every challenge as this persona.' Best of Rolling Stone The 50 Greatest Eminem Songs All 274 of Taylor Swift's Songs, Ranked The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time
