There was a “No diva, no ego” vibe at Monday’s re-record of “We Are The World” said rocker Rob Thomas, lead vocalist, and song writer for Matchbox 20. Stars like Nicole Richie, Celine Dion, Wyclef Jean, The Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Hudson, and Barbara Streisand, came together, and all left their ego’s at the door.

“We get to come here and have a chance to be a part of something that was such a big part of my life growing up, and also now sadly it’s relevant again,” said Thomas.

“We have a special responsibility to help needy people and this is part of our world and we’re all gathering here together to support people in need and do whatever we can… we’ll lend our voices and help however possible,” said Celine Dion.

LL Cool J who was also there said “I think it’s a wonderful cause and I’m very excited . I’m honored that Quincy Jones asked me to be a part of history and I hope it all goes well.”

Haiti native Wyclef Jean called the collaboration “a great thing, and it’s giving us a lot of hope for Haiti.”

“It’s a special song. It’s 25 years old now. I know that these guys were already organizing to bring it back, and I think Haiti needs our attention as a nation right now,” said singer and songwriter Jason Mraz. “I think music has the ability to heal, and to bring awareness. If we can all come together and sing in harmony, you know, I think it’s a good thing. I’m happy to be a part of it.” Amen to that!

At this years Grammys Katy Perry decided to use all of the bindis she brought back from India to create an “Indian Princess” look with celebrity makeup artist, Jake Baily.

To perfect Katy’s skin, Jake used Make Up Forever HD Invisible Cover Foundation then set the look with Guerlain Les Violettes Matte Touch Powder all over her face.  Then he highlighted the apples of her cheeks with CORALista blush from Benefit.

For her eyes, Jake used shimmery plums and golds.   “I was going for a more colorful version of the traditional smoky eye,” said Jake.  He then used Covergirl’s double ended smoky eye kit Smoky Shadow Blast in purple plum by applying the angled end of the shadow stick, the deeper plum, over her entire lid blending into a smoky halo.  Jake then applied Smoky Blast in bronze fire, using the round golden end to line along her lid and inner corners of her eyes to brighten the look.

Then Jake used several coats of Covergirl’s Lashblast in black to complete Katy’s eyes.  According to Jake, “you can apply coat after coat and not lose separation and elegance.”

And Last but not least…Jake finished Katy’s look off with Covergirl Outlast Lipstain in wild berry wink, a matte color.

Flats are in girls and now you can get some really stylish and hip ones that will make all the other girls jealous!

Lindsay Phillips has the most comfy leather ballet flats in black, bronze, & silver with interchangeable snaps for every occasion.  This energetic and inspirational girl first got her idea from an art project while in High School when she created ceramic flip flops!  They got such a huge response she decided to recreate them to wear with interchangeable straps and buttons.  Before she even graduated she had a patent pending on her innovative design.  In 2004 her patent was granted and in 2007 Switchflops made their debut.

What I love about these leather ballet flats is I can change the look with a quick snap of a jeweled button…and just by changing the buttoned jewel you’ll get a whole new look.  These flats can compliment any casual or upscale outfit as well as your favorite jeans.  Mine being Paige.
