UNICEF PRESENTS WORLD VERSION OF “IMAGINE”
According to UNICEF…
This past November with the support of Yoko Ono, UNICEF invited individuals across the globe to sing John Lennon’s classic “Imagine,” in support of UNICEF’s #IMAGINE campaign to raise awareness for children in need all over the globe in 2015. David Guetta joined in on the global initiative and compiled a never before seen video of the crowd-sourced version of the iconic track. UNICEF has just released this “World Version” featuring individuals and philanthropic celebrities who leant their voices to inspire hope in 2015. Katy Perry, Adam Lambert, Scott Foley, Zelda Williams, Melissa Etheridge, Cody Simpson, Nicole Scherzinger, Will.I.Am and many more global super stars showcased not only their talent in the video, but also their ambition to make the world a better place in 2015.
This ground-breaking achievement was created using new technology via the Touchcast app inviting everyone to show their support and upload their version of the track to build an interactive “World Version” now available here: http://bit.ly/11m0GEi

But at a certain point, I decided to stop letting other people define me. I became a model – not because I needed the adulation, but because it was my way out. And I used that to build my own mountain so I’d never have to stand on anyone else’s. I have a wonderful family, but for the most part my creative pursuits and my family are kept separate for the sanity of all of us.
MR: It’s no secret you’re married to Swedish House Mafia’s Steve Angello. What’s the romance novel version of how you got together?
IA: It’s not a romance novel, more of a less scholarly tome. I wrote a thinly veiled version of it in my book. The very short version is that I was dating a man who came from a very good family, and to the outside world seemed perfect. But he wasn’t faithful, and I made the mistake of repeatedly forgiving him for his infidelities. It was tied in to my self-worth at the time, and my…
