Headkrack is broadcasting live from California as Coachella comes to an end. Listen to this edition of Hip Hop Spot to hear all the highlights from the festival including…
From A-listers to reality TV stars, Coachella drew quite the crowd this weekend. With 150 musical acts set to perform, every single ticket available for the show – including the VIP tickets at $5,000 a piece – sold out in under three hours. Guess who snagged those VIP tickets? Some very favorite famous people. Coachella’s celebrity sightings are just about as much of a draw for the music festival as the music itself, and it’s only been one weekend. (Coachella founders/producers spread the event over two April weekends this year, so we’ll have another round coming up soon.) Check out these famous faces who checked in to Coachella. 2014 Coachella Music Festival Celebrity Sightings Open Slideshow 1. Selena, Jenners at Coachella Selena Gomez and the Jenners have come fast friends. They pose here at Coachella 2014. View As List 1. Selena, Jenners at Coachella Selena Gomez and the Jenners have come fast friends. They pose here at Coachella 2014. 2. Nicky Hilton at Coachella Nicky Hilton stepped out at Coachella. Sister Paris was also there, but the two didn’t seem to be together. 3. Aaron Paul at Coachella Yeah, bitch! Aaron Paul was at Coachella! He definitely looks excited to be there, don’t you think? 4. Justin Bieber at Coachella Justin Bieber shocked Coachella attendees and took to the stage with Chance the Rapper. Watch him perform here. 5. Joe Jonas at Coachella Now that he’s done being in a band with his brothers, Joe Jonas is hitting the music scene as a concert-goer instead of a performer. 6. Emma Roberts at Coachella Emma Roberts attended Coachella with three friends and her boyfried. Looks like they had a fun weekend. 7. Kellen Lutz at Coachella Kellen Lutz smiles for the camera and gives fans a wave while attending the 2014 Coachella Music Festival. 8. Audrina Patridge at Coachella Audrina Patridge, The Hills alum and “bona fide rocker,” hit up Coachella over the weekend. 9. Fergie at Coachella We haven’t heard any new music from Fergie in a while. Was she at Coachella to be inspired? 10. Minnie Driver at Coachella Minnie Driver hit up the Coachella Music Festival proving that the scene isn’t reserved for the 25 and under crowd! 11. Jared Leto at Coachella Jared Leto arrived and departed from Coachella on private helicopter. OF COURSE HE DID. 12. Kate Bosworth at Coachella Kate Bosworth got cozy with her boyfriend, Michael Polish, at Coachella over the weekend. 13. Paris Hilton at Coachella Paris Hilton poses with fans at Coachella. And she smiles! Unlike Selena. 14. Kendall and Kylie Jenner at Coachella Kendell and Kylie Jenner rocked the Coachella music festival in their black boho attire. 15. Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie at Coachella Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie, who are back together, attended Coachella together. Perhaps this is one way they’re working on their marriage. 16. Selena Gomez Takes Selfies at Coachella Selena Gomez takes selfies with fans at Coachella. Would it kill her to smile for the camera? 17. David Hasselhoff at Coachella David Hasselhoff attended the Coachella music festival. The Hoff says “No YOU have a good time.” 18. Leonardo DiCaprio: Dancing at Coachella This may be our favorite video of all-time. Watch Leonardo DiCaprio dance at Coachella, unaware he’s being filmed. Selena Gomez and Paris Hilton snapped selfies with fans, while Katy Perry called selfies a disease and opted, at first, not to take a photo. She later relented and all was well in the desert. It was especially well for possibly reunited Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie who stepped out together sans toddler Luca. Other stars in attendance included Jared Leto who arrived and departed by helicopter so that he could make his date with the MTV Movie Awards last night and Leonardo DiCaprio who danced to MGMT . While many flocked to the concert series to see the newly reunited OutKast perform on the mainstage, those trying to catch a glimpse of Lorde and Pharrell Williams weren’t able to do so unless they got their early and claimed their spot in front of the smaller satellite stages. Justin Bieber, eager to shed his teen idol image, joined Chance the Rapper on stage for an F-bomb riddled performance that might have helped him attract a new audience (but probably not). While figures for the music festival aren’t released, it’s estimated that the 2013 concert raked in over $67 million dollars. With tweaks to this year’s format, the gross for 2014 is expected to be even higher, and given the star power who turned out, that’s not surprising.

Nice to see Common doing good in the hood. Common Announces Job Initiative Program And Youth Music Festival Lawd knows, with all the violence in Chi-Raq, the city needs some uplifting. According to Rolling Out: This past Wednesday (April 9) hip-hop artist, actor and philanthropist, Common held a press conference to announce his foundation’s alliance with Donda’s House Inc., and the Chicago Urban league to create a jobs initiative program and music festival created specifically for the youth of Chicago. “If people feel that they have the capability to help, they should look and see what the need is and serve that. We’re trying to do that here,” Common says. Andrea Zopp, CEO of the Chicago Urban League adds “It’s one thing to provide summer jobs for these kids, but we’re trying to provide year-round jobs. We’ve had hearings and the kids have told us that they need jobs year-round.” Chicago rap artist and activist Che “Rhymefest” Smith, co-founder of Donda’s House, says that all the kids of Chicago need are opportunities. “If kids have opportunities to make good money legally, it might dissuade them from turning to crime,” says the rapper affectionately known as ‘fest. “Our generation [African Americans in their late twenties and thirties] always talk about how the previous generation failed us and now it’s our turn to succeed for our youth. This collaboration isn’t about Kanye West, Common, Lupe Fiasco, or anyone. It’s about necessity.” The jobs initiative’s goal is create 20,000 jobs for the city’s youth. In regards to the AAHH! Fest, no information about the show’s line up has been released. For more information on the jobs initiative or the AAHH! Fest, please log onto commongroundfoundation.org. We hope the initiatve is a success and Common continues to give back to his community. WENN
