Olivia Wilde, Bono, and Richard Branson teamed up with Matt Damon for a new Water.org PSA to protest the lack of access to clean, safe water for billions of people. Matt, who is also Water.org's cofounder, announced his "Toilet Strike" back in February, pledging not to use the bathroom until "everyone in the whole world has access to clean water and sanitation." His support has stirred other stars into action as Olivia, Bono, and Richard released a video of their own today.

The trio of stars featured in the new PSA are just the latest to get behind the protest of the global water crisis since Jessica Biel, Jason Bateman, and Josh Gad made their support public back in March. Matt's not only asking celebrities to back him in his fight, but he's also asking the whole world to join his strikewithme.org campaign. Watch as Olivia, Bono, and Richard get passionate about saying no to the toilet!

Leonardo DiCaprio Gets Artsy Before His Big Auction

Leonardo DiCaprio stepped out for the Brant Foundation Art Study Center's Andy Warhol showing on Sunday in Greenwich, CT.

Leonardo DiCaprio stepped out for the Brant Foundation Art Study Center's Andy Warhol showing on Sunday in Greenwich, CT. The event, which featured several of the artist's greats hits such as "Flowers" and "The Last Supper," was also attended by Owen Wilson, Stephanie Seymour, and Sharon and Aimee Osbourne. While Leo made a quick entrance into the center, he has been a red carpet fixture over the previous weeks for Great Gatsby promotions. His much-anticipated film was released Friday but could not quite top the box office over the weekend, coming in No. 2 to still-reigning Iron Man 3.

Leonardo, though, has already switched gears and is utilizing the art world for his more charitable endeavors. The actor and his environmental foundation joined forces with Christie's for a charity auction in NYC today to benefit environmental causes. The event is called The 11th Hour Auction, and Leonardo's foundation hopes to raise over $18 million for causes such as wildlife and endangered-species protection. Thirty-three pieces from top artists including Banksy, Andreas Gursky, Bharti Kher, and others will be at the bidding stake, while Leonardo himself donated his "Ocean V" by Andreas to the auction.

Bradley Cooper posed at the bedside of Boston Marathon bombing survivor Jeff Bauman at Boston Medical Center this week. Bradley, who has been on location in the area filming American Hustle with Jennifer Lawrence, was also accompanied by Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and Julian Edelman of the New England Patriots. The survivor, Jeff, lost both of his legs in the attack and also reportedly helped authorities identify one of the suspects despite his current medical state.

Bradley wasn't the only one to show his support for the victims and survivors of the tragedy as President Obama touched down in Boston yesterday to pay his respects at Massachusetts General Hospital. He also thanked emergency crews and law enforcement officers who have been tirelessly working on the case. The president left the city with a message of hope in his address, saying, "We may be momentarily knocked off our feet, but we will pick ourselves up. We will keep going. We will finish the race."

Currently, the entire city of Boston is on lockdown while authorities search for a second suspect believed to be responsible for Monday's Boston Marathon bombings, which left at least three dead, including an 8-year-old boy, and hundreds injured. The first suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed last night.

Angelina Jolie traveled to London to attend the G8 summit today. She held a Salvatore Ferragamo handbag as she met with Britain's Foreign Secretary William Hague on the steps of Lancaster House before heading to the conference.

Angelina continued her campaign against rape at the G8 summit, where she addressed a crowd of world leaders about wartime sexual assault victims. She said, "I have heard survivors of rape from Bosnia to [the Congo] s ay that the world simply does not care about them. But today I believe that their voices have been heard, and that we finally have some hope to offer them." Angelina has been keeping busy over the past few weeks with a host of charitable events. She attended the Women in the World Summit last week to introduce a video made by Pakistani schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai. She also pledged to donate $200,000 to the Malala Fund, a new charity that aims to encourage girls' education.

Angelina Jolie was joined by Britain's Foreign Secretary William Hague today when she visited victims of sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo. She and William are touring the DRC and Rwanda to raise awareness about rape in war zones. Angie was with William today when he announced that the UK will be donating over $300,000 toward the Physicians for Human Rights in an effort to create a better method of collecting evidence of sexual violence in these areas. Unfortunately, the two couldn't visit Panzi Hospital, where the charity group works out of, due to bad weather, but they did meet with other survivors at a refugee camp. Angelina and William also laid wreaths at the Gisozi genocide memorial in Kigali, Rwanda, during their charitable travels.

While Angelina is in the spotlight for her philanthropic work, she's also turning heads with a new piece of jewelry. Angelina wore a gold band on her ring finger, instead of her diamond engagement ring, as she caught a flight out of LAX last week.
