Steamy photographs of Miley Cyrus were released released on Instagram.  These photos, however, were made with good intentions and for a good cause. The images were meant to spread awareness and raise money for Planned Parenthood.

50 copies of the photograph were made and are selling for $5,500--all proceeds will be going directly to Planned Parenthood. In order to raise more money, the outtakes from the shoot will soon be printed on a t-shirt to be sold by Marc Jacobs.

Selena Gomez Revival Tour Merchandise


Selena Gomez's latest tour, Revival Tour 2016, kicks off early next month. In order to get fans excited, Gomez has been posted pictures and snapchats. However, an unexpected reveal of the tour came from her merchandise. 

Instead of selling the standard tour t-shirts, the Revival Tour merchandise incorporates more fashion statement pieces. In addition to the typical t-shirts, sports wear will also be sold with temporary tattoos and a children's line. The apparel sold on this tour will more than likely be a hit outside of the tour merch tables.
