Now, major label UMG is announcing a fund in partnership with the Music Health Alliance.

Iconic 'SNL' musical performances: Adele, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and Nirvana
There have been countless amazing musical moments on "Saturday Night Live." So many that most of us can rattle off a favorite performance quicker than recalling a witty sketch or random celebrity host. Week after week, year after year, that simple yet standard intro ‒ "Ladies and gentlemen ..." ‒ has moved us to sit back for a few minutes and absorb those spotlight moments. Sometimes they're anticipatory (of course Prince will amaze with his funky guitar), other times filled with curiosity (who is this St. Vincent singing "Digital Witness"?).

Catch up on the drama before your next visit to ‘The White Lotus’
Less a ‘whodunnit’ than a ‘whowasitdunnto,’ “The White Lotus” features the discovery at each season’s opening of a dead body (or bodies) at an eponymous upscale resort, followed by a reset to one week prior, which slowly fills in the pieces of what happened, how it happened, and most importantly, to whom. While viewers are packing their bags to embark on the Mike White-created series’ next mysterious and dangerous luxury excursion – set to begin in Thailand on Sunday night – it may be helpful to flip back through some old vacation memories (the good, the bad and the cringe) from the previous two outings, in Hawaii and Sicily, to remember where we’re at.
Lady Gaga was born to conquer monstrously spicy wings on ‘Hot Ones’
Applause is in order for Lady Gaga, for her performance on “Hot Ones.” The “Abracadabra” singer appeared on Thursday’s episode of the hot wing interview show, and she took on the so-called “wings of death” like a true rock star, only showing weakness with a mere giggle. Perhaps what was most impressive is that a self-proclaimed “fashion-impaired” Gaga ate each of the wings with just one hand – on which her monstrously large engagement ring sparkled – and didn’t get a drop of sauce on her imposing beige-colored outfit, which blocked her other arm and could have been an art installation on its own.
‘Saturday Night Live’ plans a massive 50th anniversary special. Who’s coming and how to watch
The 50th anniversary celebration of “Saturday Night Live” is so big, it’s not even on Saturday. Airing Sunday and spanning three hours, the, yes, live “SNL50: The Anniversary Celebration” will assemble a dream team of stars who have helped the show become an enduring pop culture force, including alumni like Tina Fey and Eddie Murphy, notable hosts like Dave Chappelle and Steve Martin and at least four of the surviving original cast members: Chevy Chase, Garrett Morris, Jane Curtin and Laraine Newman. The show will also pack in musical guests, with Paul McCartney, Sabrina Carpenter, Bad Bunny and Miley Cyrus among those scheduled to appear, as well. The special is double the usual 90 minutes of each “SNL” episode. With so much television and comedy history to cover, here are some key things to know about the “SNL50” show.
In the movies, we’ve had green valleys, haunted hills and grand canyons. But only now has the time arrived for a long-overshadowed land formation. “The Gorge,” a preposterous new videogame-like thriller, at least succeeds in, um, gorging on this often-overlooked geological feature. The gorge in question, to be fair, is a beauty. In some northern forested wilderness sit two concrete towers, one for each side of a wide, foggy ravine encircled by sheer rock steeps. Two expert snipers – Levi ( Miles Teller ) from the U.S., and Drasa ( Anya Taylor-Joy ), placed by Russia — have been dropped off to man their respective stations. Both are conscripts of a sort. Levi has been a private contractor for the military since being psychologically deemed unfit for service by the Marines. ( Sigourney Weaver plays the cryptic woman who hires him.) Drasa is Lithuanian. Each operates in the murky quasi-official world of covert military operations. All they know is that they’re to be at this ultra-classified post for a year, part of an annual rotation. Their main job is to shoot anything that comes out of the chasm below.
Celebrate Valentine’s Day this year with “Captain America: Brave New World,” a highly processed, empty calorie, regret-later candy of a movie. We’re nearing the end of Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with predictable and underwhelming returns. “Captain America: Brave New World” feels like it’s just treading water, wasting Anthony Mackie in his first cinematic outing as his “Hamlet”-like Captain America. The story by Rob Edwards, Malcolm Spellman and Dalan Musson gathers familiar Marvel characters and blends them into a White House conspiracy-meets-international violent face-off in the Indian Ocean. Only Marvel in Phase Five could make that boring. It lifts from “The Manchurian Candidate” and “Top Gun” and even pointlessly steals its title from Aldous Huxley. It cannibalizes from other Marvel movies, like the addition of a substance called Adamantium, much like Vibranium from Wakanda. There is a Kendrick Lamar song heard at the climactic end, but it’s not new; it’s from 2014.
Meghan Markle's future depends on Netflix rescue as royals have 'ringside seat': experts
Netflix reportedly has the power to "make or break" Meghan Markle’s future as an influencer. The Duchess of Sussex’s lifestyle series, "With Love, Meghan" is set to premiere on March 4 after it was postponed due to the Los Angeles fires. Sources recently told the U.K.’s DailyMail that the streaming giant is gearing up to roll out the red carpet by offering products supporting Meghan’s brand at their merchandise store. British royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital that the British royal family will have "a ringside seat" across the pond to see if the mother of two can achieve her American dream as a businesswoman.
