Sabrina Carpenter fund surpasses $1 million for charity in record time
Sabrina Carpenter
has reached a remarkable philanthropic milestone, with her
Sabrina Carpenter Fund
surpassing $1 million in donations in less than a year—a record for artist-led initiatives with the nonprofit
PLUS1
. The achievement highlights Carpenter's growing influence not just in music, where her hits 'Espresso' and 'Please, Please, Please' dominate the charts, but also in social impact.
Launched during her
Short n' Sweet
tour in partnership with PLUS1, the fund donates $1 from every ticket sold to causes close to Carpenter's heart: mental health, LGBTQ+ rights, and
animal welfare
. The fund raised $824,000 during her North American tour and crossed the million-dollar mark during her European dates, all while engaging millions of fans online—over 7.5 million views on
social media
have amplified the effort.
PLUS1 CEO Marika Anthony-Shaw praised Carpenter's approach, saying,
'Sabrina is setting a new standard, one where social impact becomes woven into an artist's career to create meaningful, lasting change'.
Supporting life-changing organizations
The Sabrina Carpenter Fund has already provided significant grants to organizations such as:
Live Events
The
JED Foundation
(youth mental health and suicide prevention)
PAPYRUS (24/7 mental health support for LGBTQ+ youth in the UK)
Rainbow Railroad (safety and freedom for LGBTQ+ individuals worldwide).
Carpenter's creative fundraising extends beyond ticket sales, with partnerships like Erewhon supporting mental health initiatives and unique concert experiences—such as a 'cuddle lounge' with adoptable animals—further boosting donations.
Reflecting on the milestone, Carpenter told Forbes,
'I am incredibly thankful to use my platform to amplify the efforts of remarkable organizations… Their work is truly transformative'.
As
Pride Month
concluded, she shared a heartfelt message to her LGBTQ+ fans:
'You have always been there for me, and I am dedicated to being there for you. Thank you for your unwavering support, for bringing joy into my life, and for exemplifying the beauty of being your authentic self'.

Anil Kapoor once owned just one flat in a Juhu building; later bought entire property: ‘Every brick has my sweat, blood'
We all know about Anil Kapoor and wife Sunita Kapoor's love story. While the actor struggled to gain a foothold in the Hindi film industry during the early stages of his career, Sunita, a successful model at the time, supported him both financially and emotionally. Eventually, Anil made it big in the film industry. However, he decided not to marry Sunita until he could afford his own home. In an earlier interview with Asian Paints Where the Heart Is, Anil Kapoor shared that he bought his first house after gaining success with Hum Paanch, a TV show he co-produced with his brother Boney Kapoor. He later purchased an apartment in the building where he currently resides and recalled entering the house for the first time with his newborn daughter Sonam. He said, 'Every brick of this house has my sweat, blood and hard work in it. There is no scam, no luck, it is all hard work and blood and sweat. Thought I will propose to Sunita only when I will be able to afford a house.' He added, 'When Sonam was born we came to this house. That was the first time we came to this house.' Anil went on to reveal that though he bought just one floor in the four-storey building at the start of his career, as his success grew, he managed to buy all the floors one by one. He said, 'People make their bungalow into a building, I made a building into a bungalow.' Anil and Sunita's Juhu home exudes old-world charm and elegance. The house has a cozy entrance adorned with artifacts and lush greenery. Inside, there's a dedicated corner for the temple, featuring a beautifully framed idol of Lord Ganesha. The temple also includes a sitting area for prayers. Anil Kapoor also gave viewers a glimpse of his gym and the open terrace, which is stylishly decorated with patio furniture and an abundance of plants. The terrace also features a bar counter and offers a tropical vibe while maintaining privacy for the family. The main highlight of the video was Anil taking viewers to his den — a section of the house he has designed as his personal sanctuary. Styled in a European aesthetic, the actor shared that he wanted the space to remind him of London. The den is furnished with large Maharaja-style sofas and decorated with Renaissance-inspired paintings. A vintage wooden round table adds character, while a chandelier and a view of lush plants outside the windows complete the space's regal yet cozy feel. According to GQ, Anil Kapoor spent around Rs 30 crore to acquire the property in 2000. The property is approximately 10,000 sq ft in size and is located in Mumbai's posh area of Juhu. Apart from the Juhu bungalow, Anil also owns properties in Central London, Southern California, and a spacious apartment in Dubai. According to Lifestyle Asia and publicly available data, Anil has an estimated net worth of Rs 134 crore. While Anil's house reflects vintage elegance, his son Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor's sea-facing apartment introduces a contrasting modern vibe. Located just a short walk from his father's bungalow, Harsh's home features a contemporary design with walls lined with DVDs and furniture built around massive speakers and other tech appliances. He also uses his living room as a personal screening area with a projector installed. One of the most eye-catching aspects of Harsh's home is the huge balcony that offers a stunning ocean view. But what truly stands out is a room he's converted entirely into a shoe closet to house his expansive sneaker collection. Though Anil and Harsh's homes are dramatically different from one another, they beautifully reflect their distinct personalities and the generational contrast between father and son.

An assistant, known as 'Ethan', recounted an incident where Combs threw his ring into the Atlantic Ocean. He said Combs told him to go in the water and get it. Ethan said he did jump in to rescue it, despite being at a formal event. Another incident involved Pines allegedly being summoned to Combs' residence after midnight. He was asked to fetch a TV remote from under the bed while Combs was with a female guest. Combs allegedly told the woman, "See? He is loyal and now he can go back home." Text exchanges revealed preparations for events described as 'Wild King Night'. In a text exchange seen by the BBC, chief of staff Kristina Khorram allegedly told Pines a bag needed to be ready in two hours for a 'Wild King Night'. She allegedly asked for a "drop off" of seven bottles of baby oil and seven bottles of Astroglide lubricant alongside iced vanilla lattes. On September 13, 2021 Khorram allegedly text Pines: "Wild king hotel night tonight. Prep bag - you will be going to set up a hotel in like next 2hrs." Another alleged text message, sent on December 28, 2019, reads: "PD said he's going to need emergency clean up at the hotel once they leave and come to house. "Also he is starving - there is set aside chicken and shrimp creole and rice in the fridge for him." In another alleged message, sent in November 2021, Khorram text Pines: "Hey! PD still in hotel, but when you get to mapleton he asked if you could bring him stain remover (for a chair and couch) and black trash bags. And baking soda too he said. And a hairdryer lol." Another message in November 2021 read, "Hey! PD needs a drop off the following please: -4 of those young coconuts -2 Alfred's iced vanilla lattes (whole milk, extra syrup) -7 bottles baby oil -7 bottles astroglide -his Apple TV." Staff members have also alleged that Combs' drugs would travel with him internationally. They were allegedly concealed in a safe onboard his £45m private jet. Pines claimed, "Even if it was for a day trip, if he was going on the yacht for four hours, take all that stuff with you because he may use it." He claimed mushrooms, ketamine and ecstasy were kept in a Gucci bag alongside baby oil, lubricant and red lights. Economic Times WhatsApp channel )

Video: Post Malone Reaches For Beer But Ends Up On Floor As Stage Caves In

Singer Post Malone suffered an unexpected fall during his recent live show in the US. Videos of the incident have gone viral, showing the artist performing at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, when he took a sudden tumble at the front. His performance was a part of his 2025 Big Ass Stadium Tour, which kicked off in the spring. Malone was performing Pour Me A Drink from his latest album F-1 Trillion when one of the audience members came forward to hold up a beer before him. As seen in the video, Malone kneeled down to toast the fan, who had her plastic beer cup raised. Unexpectedly, he tumbled down when a piece of the stage collapsed, resulting in his brief fall. Still smiling and holding his own cup, Maloney appeared unshaken as he immediately got back on stage and started singing again, drawing cheers from the crowd. post malone definitely doesn't need anymore drinks on stage LMFAOOO😭😭😭 — 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘆🫧💚 (@beyoncegarden) June 25, 2025 According to the Billboard report, the fall happened during a weekend performance on June 29, with the fan footage now spreading widely across social media platforms.
