Meghan Markle is using her platform to help wildfire victims and even made a teen's day with a special gift from Billie Eilish. She posted on Instagram about meeting a 15-year-old girl in Altadena, California whose home had burned down and learning that all she wanted back was her T-shirt from Billie Eilish's recent concert. She said she told the girl, "I don't know Billie Eilish but I'm going to figure out how to get you this shirt," and she did, exhausting all of her celebrity connections until a package arrived with clothes, a signed album, and a lunchbox from Billie. She posted, "Huge thank you, Billie Eilish, this is going to mean so much to her," also giving a shout-out to Adam Levine and his wife Behati Prinsloo who "helped get this over the line."

Ariana Grande opened up about writing and recording her album "Thank U, Next" in just two weeks as a form of therapy.

She told her label that the "Thank U, Next" album was "a means of survival" and she didn't care about her previous album being overshadowed by a new release just months later. She told them, "I don't really care about the formula… this is what I need for my soul," and the end, "Thank U, Next" spent two weeks atop the Billboard 200, with the title track dominating the Billboard Hot 100 at number one for a total of seven weeks.
