The audience at the Stonewall Inn's Tuesday night benefit performance for the Newtown Action Alliance [1] got a special surprise when Cate Blanchett took the stage. In an effort to raise money for the charity, which strives to end gun violence, the Oscar winner slayed a lip sync of Dusty Springfield's version of "You Don't Own Me" wearing a black tuxedo jacket, a sequined bra, and a whole lot of sass. Later on, the Ocean's Eight [2] actress grabbed her pink pussyhat [3] to sing backup on a protest-themed version of Adele's "Hello." In addition to making our day, it has reminded us — admittedly not for the first time — that we're all in dire need of a Carol [4] musical. You hear that, movie studio execs? Make it happen.
