Another protest anthem has emerged on the internet in response to the fatal shooting of Michael Brown.

12 hip hop artists -- The Game, Diddy, 2 Chainz, Rick Ross, Wale, DJ Kaled, Swizz Beatz, Wale, Yo Gotti, Curren$y, Problem, and King Pharaoh & TGT -- collaborated on the track “Don’t Shoot,” in memoriam of Mike Brown and in protest of police violence.

The song was released Thursday on the Empire Distribution SoundCloud page, adding itself to the growing list of tribute songs inspired by Michael Brown, such as Lauryn Hill's "Black Rage" and J. Cole' s "Be Free."

References to other young, unarmed black men such as Emmett Till, Ezell Ford, Trayvon Martin, and Sean Bell are also included on the track, alongside a chorus of children’s voices singing “don’t point your weapons at me.”

Best Tweets: What Women Said On Twitter This Week

This week started off with a rather underwhelming Emmys Awards show. "Orange Is The New Black" was royally snubbed and Sofia Vergara was spun around on stage as “something compelling to look at."

Kate Spencer weighed in on the sexist schtick, tweeting: "'Work hard,' I whisper to my daughters. 'And one day you too could be honored for your talent by being rotated on a platform on live TV.'" Great life lesson right there.

In other news, everything we've ever known is a lie: Hello Kitty is not a cat. Rivka Rossi offered one solution to the Internet's misery: "There should at least be a Hello Kitty emoji now for everyone's loss." Emojis do solve everything.

Shawn Colvin Opens Up About Living With Depression

Shawn Colvin's song "Sunny Came Home" was all over the radio in the '90s, but even in the face of mainstream success, the singer was facing a serious battle with depression.

"I stopped taking a bath," she said on HuffPost Live on Friday. "To get from the bed to the bathtub is sometimes an impossible feat, so you know that, alongside getting to work -- I've had to go to work when I've been depressed -- well, depression is miserable. It's like a pain. You can push through things, but it's not living."

The songstress recounted how, as a result of her depression, even the best efforts of her family and friends were often lost on her.

"If I was able to take in anything that was supportive, loving, compassionate, the horror of depression is that you're void of thinking you're worthy of any of that and you feel like a burden," she said. "You feel like no one understands it, and you feel guilty about that. You feel like no one can help, and in fact, it's very difficult for them to help, especially if they themselves haven't been through it."

She encouraged families and supporters of people with depression to read books by people who have also experienced the condition. "You can really get in the head of someone who can explain it from a perspective," she said.

Janessa Slater, the "Sound Advice"-hosting alter ego of "Saturday Night Live" star Vanessa Bayer, isn't known for being particularly reasonable. But this time she completely loses it during a session with singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles.

Bayer's character in the series, shot for digital comedy network Above Average, is a socially awkward media coach with a bad habit of insulting her accomplished clients -- insults that the leather-wearing, super hardcore Bareilles is not about to take lying down.

Watch the video above for a hilarious dose of Bayer's "advice."

Here's How Charities Choose Which Celebrities To Work With

It turns out that being a celebrity charity ambassador is about much more than attending galas and reading a script for a PSA.

In the Aug. 22 issue of the Hollywood Reporter, the entertainment source dissects what exactly goes into the process of celebrity-charity partnerships, and discovered industry executives have higher standards for their celebrity endorsers than some may believe.

Of paramount importance, charities look for signs of bona fide interest and knowledge about a cause, Margery Tabankin, a Hollywood philanthropic and political consultant, told the magazine.

"If somebody is going to talk about climate change, international relief work or public education and charter schools, they must really care and know the issue," she said.

And then there are those notorious names whose checkered reputations can do more harm than good. Chris Brown, Lindsay Lohan, Lance Armstrong, Naomi Campbell and reality stars won’t do much for a cause, sources told the magazine.

On the other hand, some celebrities have built their brands by having big hearts. Taylor Swift snagged the No. 1 spot on the most recent "Top 20 Celebs Gone Good" list from DoSomething.org for celebrating her 24th birthday by giving a $100,000 gift to the Nashville Symphony, and also raising awareness for youth homelessness. The members of One Direction, Beyonce, Paul Walker and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis rounded out DoSomething's top five.

Of course, there are some celebrities who have even taken extra measures and started their own charities. This week, Matt Damon raised awareness for both ALS and the nonprofit he founded, Water.org, by completing the ice bucket challenge with toilet water. The actor wanted to shed light on the 800 million people around the world without access to clean H20.

Happy birthday, Richard Gere! Not only can we not believe the hunky actor is 65 today, it's hard to imagine that it's been nearly 25 years since he made us swoon in "Pretty Woman."

Still dapper and debonaire, the milestone birthday finds the award-winning actor with several upcoming movies lined up. He may be a household name for earlier films like "An Officer and a Gentleman" and "First Knight," (and for being married to supermodel Cindy Crawford in the early '90s) but Gere still very much has a Hollywood presence, with recent hits in films like "Arbitrage" and "Nights in Rodanthe."

With those looks, that talent, and that star quality, we're sure our favorite silver fox isn't going anywhere. Here are just five of the many reasons we absolutely adore Edward -- er, Richard:

"I don't always get naked, but when I do, it's for a good cause," Grand, deemed country music's first openly gay male star, wrote on Facebook. "I didn't want to waste fresh water (since there are so many without) so naturally, I jumped into Lake Superior, naked."

Grand shared a steamy photo of his brisk dive, and will also be donating money to ALS as well as two other charities he says he feels passionate about, including a local LGBTQ homeless youth charity. He joins a growing list of LGBT and queer-friendly celebrities, including Margaret Cho and Neil Patrick Harris, who've taken the ice bucket plunge.

Mark David Chapman, John Lennon's Murderer: 'I Found My Peace In Jesus'

(RNS) The man who murdered John Lennon wants only one thing now — to tell others about Jesus.

Mark David Chapman, 59, told parole examiners he was no longer the man who sought notoriety through killing the Beatles rock star in 1980.

Now, he said, he’s sorry, “forgiven by God” and eager to spend his days — in prison or out — ministering to others.

Examiners denied Chapman the possibility of parole for the eighth time on Aug. 20. According to the 25-page transcript of the hearing, Chapman expected that finding. He will continue serving 20 years to life at the Wende Correctional Facility in Alden, near Buffalo, N.Y.

In his last parole hearing in 2012, the transcript shows, he was just as interested in testifying about his religious faith.

The transcript details how he spent years plotting the shooting of Lennon, acquiring a gun and bullets, lying to his wife about his whereabouts and plans. No more, he said. Now, his wife of 35 years, who visits him at least annually, is his partner in faith.

He told the board: “We’re closer to the Lord now than we were on the street so I am going to credit him with keeping our marriage together and our sanity.”

Chapman’s anniversary gift to her was a gold cross with a ruby heart in the center. It was not “just to say. ‘Thank you, honey.’ It’s to tell God thank you for his love for us, for sticking with us,” Chapman said.

Parole examiners asked whether Chapman might harm others if released and whether he was concerned that he might be a target himself for someone seeking the notoriety of murdering him. Chapman pledged that his crime days were over and as for risk to himself: “I leave it in God’s hands.”

His main interest now lies in ministering to prisoners. “Me and my wife have a ministry. We distribute brochures that tell people about Christ. … That is where my heart is.”

Chapman apologized for the pain he caused Lennon, his family and his millions of fans: “I am sorry for being such an idiot and choosing the wrong way for glory. I found my peace in Jesus. I know him. He loves me. He has forgiven me.”

The upshot: He plans to spend his days “telling people, ‘Hey, you have another option. You have Christ. … Either crime or Christ, which way do you want to go here?’”

And he predicted correctly during the hearing (“We all know how this will turn out,” he said) that those days would be in prison. The board ruled that Chapman’s release would be incompatible with the welfare of society” and would “deprecate the serious nature of the crime,” according to the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

Is Miley Cyrus really over Liam Hemsworth? Sure doesn't sound like it.

In an interview on Australia's "Sunday Night," Cyrus told reporter Chris Bath that she still has a lot of love for her former fiance.

"I love Liam, Liam loves me," Cyrus said, according to Daily Mail.

Following Cyrus' split from "Hunger Games" actor Hemsworth, Cyrus' father, Billy Ray, opened up about how happy his daughter seemed.

"All I know for sure is I heard my daughter say today she's the happiest she's ever been in her life immediately following [the breakup.] That's when I saw Miley being so happy," Billy Ray said in 2013. "Somewhere along the stress and strain of different things I didn't see her smiling as often for a little while and all of a sudden she's like the sun, and when she smiles it's light."

Here's to hoping Cyrus stays so happy ... Hemsworth or no Hemsworth.

Todd English Arrested, Charged With DWI

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — Celebrity chef Todd English, who has opened restaurants around the country and written multiple cookbooks, was arrested Sunday on a charge of driving while intoxicated, authorities said.

Police in Southampton said English was arrested Sunday morning on a county road on Long Island. He made a court appearance later in the day, and authorities said he posted $1,500 bail. The circumstances of the arrest were unavailable.

English's lawyer, Edward Burke Jr., said they "adamantly deny the allegations" and "look forward to addressing this matter in a court of law."

The chef, whose full name is William Todd English, is the creative force behind a number of restaurants around the country, including Olives, Figs and Fish Club. He also has been a regular on television programs including "Iron Chef USA."

English has written several cookbooks and has been honored by the James Beard Foundation for excellence and achievement in cuisine.

In September 2009, his former fiancee was charged with assault, and authorities accused her of hitting him with a metal wrist watch, leaving him needing multiple stitches. The couple had been scheduled to get married, but English called the wedding off.

A judge in January 2010 closed the case without prison or probation based on her going through anger management and performing community service.
