Heidi Montag
When
Heidi Montag and her husband,
Spencer Pratt, sadly lost their house in the Palisades Fire, the devoted spouse took to social media to beg his followers to play his wife's 2010 album
Superficial to rack up money to rebuild.
"Please stream any of @heidimontag music on any platforms it will make a huge difference," he wrote alongside photos of the damage.
Miraculously, Montag's debut album beat out
Bad Bunny's new release,
Debí Tirar Más Fotos, for the No. 1 spot on the iTunes chart in early January.
"Thank you
everyone! Who needs a house, who needs clothes, who needs anything but this level of clout, pop, superstardom?" Pratt wrote in an Instagram post shared on Sunday, January 12. "Our sons are gonna be like, 'My mom was No. 1 on iTunes America.' Thank you to everyone who made this happen."
During a Thursday, January 16, appearance on
Heather McDonald's "
Juicy Scoop" podcast, Pratt revealed the thought process behind the idea.
"There's only a few things I can do to make income. Sell our crystals or stream Heidi's music," he told the comedian. "That's just what I have already been saying. This time, there was a bigger platform."
Leighton Meester
Leighton Meester and her husband
Adam Brody's home also went up in flames during the tragedy.
According to
Architectural Digest, the Hollywood power couple purchased the five-bedroom, six-bathroom Pacific Palisades home nestled in the mountains between Malibu and Woodland Hills in 2019, where they resided with their two kids.
To help the
Gossip Girl alum, people are encouraging others on social media to stream Meester's old tracks.
"Can the internet also do what it did for
Heidi Montag's criminally underrated old music to
Leighton Meester's incredibly underappreciated pop music?" podcaster
Gibson Johns wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
During her time on the CW series, Meester released "Your Love's a Drug," "Somebody to Love" and her 2009 hit with the band Cobra Starship, "Good Girls Go Bad."
The brunette beauty's 2014 alum "Heartstrings" currently stands at No. 21 on the iTunes all-genre album chart. Meester has not spoken out about the
resurgence.
Tommy Lee
One person who isn't thrilled with people's shameless plugs is Mötley Crüe musician
Tommy Lee. "Makes me f—— sick to see most people just [carrying] on posting on lame a– social media!" he penned in a Monday, January 13, update on Instagram.
"Guys, right now, nobody gives a flying f— when your record drops or the next concert is when so many people are in the middle of one of the
biggest disasters of all time!" the rocker lamented.
"I get that some comic relief is always need, but Jesus Christ, leave it all alone and maybe just stop and see who needs help if you can," Lee added before signing off.
Beyoncé
In the wake of the fires,
Beyoncé postponed her highly anticipated announcement, which was supposed to be revealed on Tuesday, January 14.
"The January 14th announcement will be postponed to a later date due to the devastation caused by the ongoing
wildfires around areas of Los Angeles," the singer wrote in a post shared to Instagram. "I continue to pray for healing and rebuilding for the families suffering from trauma and loss. We are so blessed to have brave first responders who continue to work tirelessly to protect the Los Angeles community."
