Leonardo DiCaprio has been named a United Nations Messenger of Peace, a post he will use to raise awareness about climate change. The actor and outspoken environmental activist will address a U.N. summit meeting on climate change on September 23, a day before the start of the U.N. General Assembly's annual gathering of world leaders.

Lupita Nyong'o stopped by Sesame Street to have a heart-to-heart chat with Elmo. The Oscar-winning actress and the furry red puppet spoke about skin - it's uses, abilities, and the importance of loving it, no matter what the color.

Taylor Swift has been selected as People magazine's best-dressed celebrity of the year. The pop star has adopted a sexier look on red carpets lately - like the alphabet romper she wore to this year's MTV Video Music Awards. Swift led the annual list of the top best-dressed celebrity style icons that also included Lupita Nyong'o, Rihanna and Jennifer Lopez among others.
