00:00Well, some musical acts with deep roots here in LA,
00:03and some that don't, are all lining up
00:06to participate in the Fire Aid Benefit concert
00:09that's going down two weeks from today
00:12at two different venues here in LA,
00:14because as we've told you,
00:16there is incredible interest from these acts
00:19who want to do stuff to help.
00:21So we just broke a story on the website.
00:24They're gonna announce this soon,
00:26but we know Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish,
00:29and the Red Hot Chili Peppers
00:31are going to be among these headliners.
00:35We know that there are gonna be 24 headliners.
00:38They may increase that number
00:40because more than 50 artists
00:42want to actually participate in this.
00:45And that number may grow,
00:47but this is gonna be a huge benefit concert.
00:50Yeah, this is gonna be amazing.
00:51And you know, all three of these acts
00:54do have ties and experience, unfortunately,
00:57with crazy wildfires that have happened
00:59here in California.
01:00Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers,
01:02his house actually burned down in Malibu years ago.
01:06And Lady Gaga, she was evacuated from her house in 2018.
01:11She had a home in Malibu during that devastating fire.
01:14Luckily, her house was saved,
01:16but she did have experience with evacuating
01:19and the fear and the panic.
01:21Billie Eilish, she's obviously from SoCal.
01:24She's from Highland Park.
01:26Red Hot Chili Peppers, they're, of course,
01:28iconic LA natives.
01:31Lady Gaga is not from LA.
01:33She's a New Yorker, but like I mentioned,
01:34she does, yeah, she lives here now.
01:36She is definitely part of the community.
01:38It's coming on the heels of the Grammys,
01:40so a lot of these artists are gonna be in-
01:41Oh, right before the Grammys.
01:42Before the Grammys, so they're all gonna be in town,
01:44so it's the perfect time to do it.
01:46But it's gonna be a huge event.
01:47At two different venues.
01:48It's gonna be streamed.
01:49It'll be streaming online,
01:50but it's gonna be at the Intuit Dome
01:53as well as the Kia Forum, both in Inglewood.
01:55A big deal.
01:56Yeah, very big deal.
01:57Big, big deal.
01:59Hi, everyone, this is Adrienne from D.C.,
02:00and I just wanted to say this is incredible
02:01to see these stars coming together
02:03to help with the community.
02:04So if you've ever been to a Billie Eilish concert
02:06or a Lady Gaga concert, I mean,
02:08you feel the emotion in the depths of your soul,
02:11so I can't imagine how emotional
02:13these concerts are gonna be to witness,
02:15and so I love to see this.
02:17I also really am crossing my fingers
02:18to see if maybe Heidi Montag can join them.
02:21We've been talking about that.
02:22About whether or not-
02:23We've actually been talking about that.
02:24Listen, Spencer is carrying the internet on his back.
02:27If TikTok is saved, it is straight because of that man.
02:30So Heidi needs to be front and center here.
02:32I think everybody would love it.
02:33It would be a great moment for her and their families, so-
02:36I gotta say, my gut is it's gonna happen.
02:39I don't know it.
02:40There's a groundswell for it, but we'll see.
02:41My gut is it's gonna happen.
