Celebs continue to rally help for the victims affected by natural disasters in the last couple of months. Days after Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony put together a star-studded telethon concert titled “Somos Una Voz Live” in multiple cities, Jay-Z threw his third annual charity concert,“TIDAL X: Brooklyn” in New York City, but this time around he donated all ticket sales to organizations supporting victims of Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria, as well as the earthquake in Mexico.
In the last two years, the music and entertainment platform TIDAL donated proceeds to Robin Hood, the largest poverty-fighting organization in New York and the New World Foundation, which aims to advance “positive community relations and effect systemic change for the development and sustainability of just societies,” as it states on its website. Bacardi, the iconic spirits brand, sponsored the presentation, also donating $1.3 million specifically to TIDAL X: Brooklyn charities.
This year, was all about the multiple cities that have faced devastation from recent natural disasters.
Among those joining the good cause and eventful night were Jay Z, Jennifer Lopez, Stevie Wonder, DJ Khaled, Chris Brown, Cardi B, Fat Joe, Daddy Yankee, Luis Fonsi and a special appearance from Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Lopez, being in her home state, performed throwback songs like “Jenny From The Block” and “I’m Real,” with a backdrop of New York City and the 6 train line, the subway the runs through her old neighborhood in the Bronx. Before composer and lyricist Miranda introduced his fellow Puerto Rican onto the stage, he shared a heartfelt message: “For every generation, there are moments that define you… These are the moment’s history remembers. Tonight, through music, TIDAL has brought together people across generations, backgrounds together to support the people of Puerto Rico. On behalf of mi gente (my people), thank you! We refuse to stay silent.”
Jay Z stayed true to the New York theme of the night by performing “Empire State of Mind,” while Latin stars like Daddy Yankee performed his 2004 smash single “Gasolina,” and Cardi B stole the show with her No. 1 hit “Bodak Yellow,” which had the audience yelling for an encore.
The concert aired live on Tidal. Donate to the cause here.

McKayla Maroney’s 2012 Olympic teammates are rallying around her after the elite gymnast alleged on Twitter that she was a victim of years of sexual abuse by former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar, who was fired in 2015 after almost two decades with the organization.
“I was molested by Dr. Larry Nassar, the team doctor for the US Women’s National Gymnastics Team, and Olympic team,” Maroney, 21, wrote in the Twitter post under the #MeToo hashtag, which has remained a trending topic on social media after a number of women accused Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault earlier this month.
“It started when I was 13 years old, at one of my first National Team training camps, in Texas, and didn’t end until I left the sport.”
Just hours after revealing her story, members of Maroney’s 2012 Olympic team voiced their support, including Aly Raisman, Jordyn Wieber and Kyla Ross.
Maroney’s heartbreaking post goes into detail about Nassar’s alleged assaults.
According to Maroney, Nassar’s behavior worsened during the 2011 World Championships, when she was given a sleeping pill by the doctor during a flight only to wake up in his hotel room later.
“Sure, from the outside looking in, it’s an amazing story,” Maroney says of her storied career. “I did it. I got there, but not without a price.”

More than 80 women have accused Nassar of sexual assault. In July, Nassar pleaded guilty to three child pornography charges in federal court, ABC News reported via ESPN. In exchange for Nassar’s guilty plea, U.S. prosecutors have agreed not to pursue charges in two additional incidents of alleged sexual crimes with minors. He is scheduled to be sentenced in federal court on Dec. 7, according to the Lansing State Journal.
He still faces 33 charges of criminal sexual conduct in Michigan, according to USA Today. The Lansing State Journal reports jury selection begins in the state case the same week as his federal sentencing.
A lawyer for Nassar did not immediately respond to a request for comment from PEOPLE. A spokeswoman for Attorney General Bill Schuette declined to comment on Nassar’s case. He remains in federal custody in Michigan.

A Facebook video of a teacher telling students speaking Spanish they’re being disrespectful and demanding they “speak American,” has generated controversy in Cliffside Park, New Jersey.
In the video, recorded by a student, the English instructor at Cliffside Park High School says: “Men and women are fighting. They are not fighting for your right to speak Spanish. They’re fighting for your right to speak American.”
In response, many students protested by leaving the class.
Although school officials haven’t released the name of the educator, students have been identifying her on social media and claiming she’s made bigoted comments in the past. “She has always made racist remarks. I couldn’t even tell you the amount of times that myself or other students walked out of her class because we couldn’t deal with it anymore,” one student noted.
Another student, who admitted he’s not been her student, wrote: “I remember speaking with my friends (in Spanish & Portuguese) in the hallway once and she told me to speak English. I just thought ‘Did she just say that?'”
Alumni Esly Osuna told PIX11, the local news station that broke the story, that she had a similar experience: “If we were speaking Spanish in the hallways and she heard us, she would single us out , ‘No you can’t speak Spanish here,” Osuna said.
In their segment on the controversy, PIX11 also noted that a large number of students attending the high school come from bilingual Latino families. The high school is populated by Cliffside Park residents, 29 percent of whom identify as Hispanic or Latino and Fairview residents, 54 percent of whom claim Latin roots.
On Monday, 100 students from the high school staged a walkout, carrying flags from their countries of origin, according to NBC New York.
People Chica reached out to Cliffside Park School District but has not received comment and it’s unclear what actions, if any, school officials plan to take against the instructor.

Maybe The Lizzie McGuire Movie plot wasn’t so far-fetched after all.
These everyday people are nearly identical to some very famous faces, and are proving that looking like a celebrity might just be the next best thing to actually being one.
Laura Dern and Maria Wojciechowski
The stand-up comedian has an Instagram account dedicated to her resemblance to the Emmy-winning actress.
“Honestly, I didn’t know who Laura Dern was until people started telling me I looked like her,” Wojciechowski confessed to EW last year. “Jurassic Park played a lot on TV, so friends were constantly texting me about it. One night I got such a text, and I happened to be wearing a khaki shirt , so my roommate suggested I do a side-by-side and post it on Facebook. I did, and it got an ‘I’m having a baby!’ amount of likes, so I decided to keep doing it.”
Since then, Wojciechowski has garnered more than 12,000 followers.
While the results are hilarious, Wojciechowski’s gig isn’t without its challenges. “Her facial expressions are so wonderful but can be so hard to mimic,” she explained of the actress. “My skin is not as rubbery as hers. Like, no one’s is.”
Selena Gomez and Sofia Solares
The 22-year-old Mexican’s Instagram comments are flooded with comparisons to the “Fetish” singer.
“I love Selena Gomez and I declare myself a fan of her and of course it would be a dream to know that she knows of my existence and will devote a few seconds to write me something!” Solares told E! News about the possibility of Gomez responding to the frenzy. “I would cry with happiness.”
“I always try to be myself. I say it’s okay to look like her, but I do not want to lose myself for trying to be someone I’m not,” she added.
Jennifer Lopez and Janice Garay
The 28-year-old Texan bodybuilder has earned a storm of social media attention for her resemblance to J.Lo. “So what you guys are telling me is that everybody has a twin and @jlo happens to be mine??? I’ll take it,” Garay, who goes by “Jay From Houston” on Instagram, captioned one photo.
Garay never made the Lopez connection before all of the online observations. “It never really crossed my mind…. the whole world says I look like J.Lo,” she told KHOU.
Gigi Hadid and Iza IJzerman
Dutch model Iza IJzerman shares dewy, enchanting features with one of the most famous faces in her business.
“The first time someone mentioned was on Instagram,” IJzerman told Refinery29. “When I signed with MiLK, they posted a picture with the caption ‘The new curvy Gigi Hadid,’ so that’s the moment I realized it might be true!”
Despite the Internet’s Gigi-centric reaction to IJzerman, the Netherlands-based beauty sees more of herself in a different member of the Hadid crew. “I think I look more like Bella,” she said.
Ryan Gosling and Johannes Laschet
The internet burst out in declarations of joy when it discovered Laschet, a menswear blogger and law student who reminds everyone of their dream boyfriend.
FROM PEN: Naomi Watts Talks 26-Year Friendship with Nicole Kidman
Although one might expect looking like Gosling to be a dream come true, Laschet told Time that the comparisons get “a little exhausting and sometimes it’s just too much.”
The fashion connoisseur also appreciates that his famous counterpart knows his way around a closet: “Mr. Gosling knows how to dress well and you can learn something from him. Especially when he wears a smoking suit.”
Taylor Swift and April Gloria
There are many Swift lookalikes out and about in the world, but this cosplayer from Kansas is probably the most dead-on of them all.
Gloria seems to fully embrace her resemblance to the singer, and shares both her love of cats and her expert ability to rock bold lip colors.
Angelina Jolie and Chelsea Marr
The lucky Scottish beauty could easily be the actress’s long-lost little sister.
After her resemblance to Jolie caused internet buzz in 2015, Marr responded to commenters who wondered whether she had gotten plastic surgery to look like the star.
“Anyone who knows me knows I am extremely open and really don’t mind discussing it. I have had lip fillers yes, not to look like anyone else but just because I wanted them a bit fuller just like all the other women that have also had theirs done,” she wrote in a Facebook post, adding that she also had surgery on her nose to fix problems related to a childhood accident and had a breast augmentation.
While the similarities seem obvious to us, on Facebook Marr said, “I don’t really see the resemblance myself to be honest.”
Emma Watson and Meghan Flockhart
The Glasgow, U.K., cosplayer could easily be mistaken for Hogwarts’ smartest student.
Flockhart seized the opportunity to dress up as Watson’s famous Harry Potter character on multiple occasions, and recently channeled her new Beauty and the Beast role.
“As much as I’d love to believe I am her doppelganger, as she’s gorgeous and an idol of mine, I am myself at the end of the day. But I have similar traits to my idol and that’s awesome,” Flockhart told the Mirror in 2016.
Katy Perry and Francesca Brown
The actress and Perry impersonator can fool even the most zealous of fans.
“I would just get mistaken everywhere,” the Brit told Elle.com about when the pop star first shot to fame. “I’d have people running after me; I went shopping, and I had children running after me. I went to a music festival here in London, and there were cameras and crowds of people turned up wanting their picture . Everyone would think I was her!”
Brown says that at first her resemblance to Perry caused issues in her acting career, but she’s since decided to accept lookalike jobs to pay the bills and continues to pursue other acting gigs. “I was working quite a lot as an actress. I was going up for auditions, and I kept getting the comparison to Katy Perry. For some reason — I don’t know why — it was costing me jobs.”
“Although made the acting harder for me, it hasn’t stopped me. I do believe in myself as an actress and I know I have what it takes. I mean there’s Zooey Deschanel as well, and they get mistaken, and I think that people can take both of them. So there can be Zooey Deschanel, Katy Perry, and me,” she told Elle.com.
Ed Sheeran and Ty Jones
Jones, who calls himself “Ed’s evil twin” in his Instagram bio, is constantly mistaken for the famous musician. “When Ed became really famous I had people always coming up to me and talking to me and wanting my picture — it was crazy,” he told the Mirror. “He’s such a big artist and I’m a massive fan of his but now it’s like I can’t escape it, people go mad when they think they’re meeting Ed Sheeran.”
“I’ve had a few photos of me go viral because people thought they were Ed Sheeran which is mad because I don’t expect it and my friends and family tag me in these pictures all the time,” he added.
Jones actually got the chance to meet his dead-ringer, and told the Mirror that Sheeran was in disbelief over their similarities.
Ariana Grande and Jacky Vasquez
Vasquez frequently rocks a high ponytail on Instagram to accentuate her resemblance to the Dangerous Woman, and even poked fun at Grande’s doughnut licking incident.
“I have been mistaken as Ariana a couple times. I remember I got mistaken in Washington D.C. because she was at the Verizon Center that day and I dressed up like her since she was in town. People asked me to take pictures with them that day, it was so fun!” she told Sweetly High.
Princess Kate and Heidi Agan
Agan quit her job as a waitress to become a full-time royal lookalike once Princess Kate joined the most famous family in England.
“She’s a gorgeous, gorgeous lady and she carries herself extremely well, so for somebody to say that you look like her is just incredible,” she told Katie Couric in an interview.
Agan has teamed up with other lookalikes for (fake) royal family photos.
Kim Kardashian West and Kamilla Osman
Osman’s uncanny resemblance to the selfie queen has earned her lots of attention on Instagram.
Kardashian West actually met her lookalike in 2016 and, of course, shared a photo of the big moment.
“I’m embracing the fact that people think we look alike and I appreciate it because I think she’s beautiful. But I want to be me,” Osman told ET.
The good-natured beauty even seems to share Kardashian West’s ability to brush off the haters. “They called me a Walmart version of Kim Kardashian. That was so funny!!” she shared with ET. “I actually commented back and was like, ‘That’s a brilliant comment.’ So yes guys, I’m a Walmart version of Kim Kardashian.”

In early January, Selena Gomez and The Weeknd (née Abel Tesfaye) were first spotted having dinner in L.A., where they were pictured smooching throughout the evening. Since then, the couple has taken their love worldwide, traveling to Italy together, making their couple debut at the Met Gala and showing off their romance on social media.
Most recently, The Weeknd supported his girlfriend after the songstress underwent a kidney transplant due to her lupus battle. The “Starboy” crooner scheduled his performances around Gomez’s surgery to spend more time with her, simultaneously earning our vote for Best Boyfriend of 2017.
Here’s everything you need to know about their relationship so far.
They spend holidays together.
You know it’s real when you can’t wait to hang with bae on Labor Day.
They’re not hiding anything.
In an interview with On Air with Ryan Seacrest in June, Gomez revealed exactly why she’s choosing to be in the open with her relationship. “It’s really hard when I would want to spend so much time hiding things,” she said. The “Bad Liar” singer explained a little further saying, “It’s too much pressure, and I think everyone gets over everything eventually… I just want to be happy. If that’s me just being myself, then I don’t really care.”
The Weeknd flew from Paris to spend time with Gomez for her birthday.
A source told PEOPLE that The Weeknd left Paris via private jet as soon as his Lollapalooza headlining set was over on Saturday, July 22. He arrived in L.A. the following morning to spend the day with his girlfriend. All together now: Aww!
Gomez reveals she loves supporting The Weeknd.
“I love just being there and having someone’s back,” Gomez told SiriusXM’s Morning Mash Up of “being supportive” after being prodded about joining the Weeknd for part of his tour. “It feels good. I haven’t had that feeling in awhile.”
Gomez gives her “heart and soul” to the person she loves.
Of course, the singer was referring to The Weeknd, who she alluded to during a May interview with Miami’s Power 96.5 FM. “I’m the kind of kind of girl that loves tremendously big. I just have always been that girl,” she said. “I will give my heart and my soul to the person that I love. It’s just how I operate. With that comes a lot, you know?”
The pair is down to work together.
Gomez is rumored to release new music very soon, but this time, her boyfriend is said to be involved. Spotted on the Wikpedia page of songwriter Max Martin, on his discography list, is The Weeknd listed under Gomez’s upcoming single “In Her Element,” according to ELLE. The news understandably sent fans into a frenzy.
Gomez’s family are all fans of the pairing.
Days after receiving a stamp of approval from her mom with a comment on Instagram, the “It Ain’t Me” singer brought her relatives to The Weeknd’s concert in Dallas.
They aren’t afraid to show their affection for one another.
The 2017 Met Gala a.k.a. fashion prom officially introduced the world to the new couple, who packed on the PDA at the annual event. The “Starboy” crooner even has Gomez’s mom, Mandy Teefey’s approval. “Glowing, smiling, looking health and equal love,” she wrote, commenting on an Instagram of the new couple at the Met Gala. “Mama is happy XO.”
Gomez is “really happy.”
The pair’s budding relationship is showing no signs of slowing down, according to an insider who shared a look at the duo’s dynamic. “They’re doing great together,” a Gomez source told PEOPLE. “Abel treats Selena really well and he makes her very happy.”
They make the most out of every trip together.
Before hitting up South America together, Gomez and The Weeknd took a trip to the “Earned It” singer’s hometown of Toronto, Canada. The couple were affectionate — kissing and holding hands — and spent their time in the city shopping and attending a private screening of Get Out.

Gomez is super supportive of his career.
The Revival singer, 24, has attended several of his European concerts. On Feb. 26, the actress called The Weeknd, 27, her “baby” in a Snapchat video taken at his Zurich concert.
The week prior, at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome, Gomez was spotted in the sound booth rocking out to her boyfriend’s concert.
She even posted a photo of her feet kicked up at the VIP area on her Instagram story.
Their dates are super high-brow.
In January couple were spotted walking hand-in-hand inside the Galleria dell’Accademia museum in Florence, Italy, stopping to view collections of Renaissance paintings, in addition to Michelangelo’s David sculpture.
That same day, Gomez and The Weeknd were seen enjoying a romantic lunch at a local restaurant.
Though they’ve gone on a few silly dates, too.
One of their first public dates was at Dave and Buster’s, just two days before they traveled to Italy. They arrived at 11 p.m., meeting up with Jaden Smith and French Montana, and they stayed until 3 a.m.
“They looked very happy. They had a blast with their friends,” a source tells PEOPLE about the pair, who were spotted holding hands.

They’ve officially taken their romance public.
After the duo were spotted walking hand-in-hand inside the Galleria dell’Accademia museum in Florence during their Italian getaway, Gomez shared a video of The Weeknd on her Instagram page early Monday morning.
The black-and-white video, which has since been deleted from the her account, shows him relaxing in a river boat as Gomez makes plans with a woman off-camera. Gomez simply captioned the video with a heart-eyes emoji.
Gomez wasn’t the only one showing some social media PDA. On Sunday, the “Starboy” singer shared a video of Gomez looking at a piece of art on his Instagram story. (He did not delete.)
The new romance has rubbed some people the wrong way.
Shortly after news of the budding relationship broke, sources told PEOPLE that The Weeknd’s ex-girlfriend Bella Hadid was upset by how quickly her former flame found a new romantic interest.
“Bella and Abel’s split wasn’t dramatic, but of course she’s hurt and pissed that he’s moved on so quickly with Selena,” says an insider, who adds that it was Hadid, 20, who ultimately pulled the plug on the duo’s romance.
Gomez’s ex Justin Bieber also seemed unhappy about the new Hollywood couple. He recently had some harsh words about The Weeknd’s music.
Asked by a TMZ cameraman if he’d listen to The Weeknd outside of Delilah in Los Angeles on Jan. 20, Bieber replied, “Hell no I can’t listen to a Weeknd song.”
Bieber added, “That s— is whack.”
