2.) Chris Brown recently launched his Symphonic Love Foundation, which helps create youth arts programs and provides grants toward art in public spaces. Now this is the Chris we'd like to see more often! (Rap-Up)

4.) Check out Christina Aguilera, Jimmy Fallon, and The Roots performing Christina's "Your Body" with only office supplies on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon." Using a stapler has never sounded so amazing. (Vibe)
