Stars join Cyndi Lauper’s concert for homeless youth

Taylor

Swift, Cher, Billie Eilish, LL Cool J and

Dolly Parton are adding their voices to

Cyndi Lauper’s annual concert to combat youth homelessness, an issue the “True Colors” singer says has only gotten worse during the pandemic.

“You can say ‘Stay home, protect yourself.’ What do you do if you’ve got no home?” Lauper told The Associated Press. “I think it’s time that we make sure all young people have access to lifesaving services without fear of violence or discrimination.”

Her Home for the Holidays benefit concert will premiere tonight at 8 on Lauper’s TikTok channel, with an additional stream Sunday at 8 p.m. on Lauper’s YouTube and Facebook handles. This year’s concert will be free to watch, with donations encouraged.

Performers set for TV special replacing canceled Rose Parade

There won’t be thousands of people watching flowerladen floats roll through the streets of Pasadena on New Year’s Day, but the show will go on.

Sheryl Crow leads a long list of performers and celebrity guests who will appear in a Jan. 1 television special replacing the 132nd Rose Parade, which was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Performers will also include Mickey Guyton, Tori Kelly, Lady A, Rascal Flatts and husband-and-wife duo The War and Treaty.

Celebrity guests will include Rita Moreno, Emeril Lagasse, Gary Sinise, Daddy Yankee, Shanola Hampton, Dascha Polanco, Vin Scully, Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez and Rose Bowl Hall of Fame inductee Matt Leinart.
