This summer, celebrities go to great lengths for causes — for fun, for money or for both. Peter Frampton and Sheryl Crow perform onstage at the 38th Annual Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame

CROW, 62, has been on a whirlwind world tour for her 11th album, _Evolution_ (her first studio album in five years, which she had said would be her last full-length album). The record was

inspired by Crow’s fears over how artificial intelligence might affect the future of music. Crow recently wrote a piece for _The Hollywood Reporter_ warning about AI, and she joined 200

other artists in signing an open letter to tech companies, begging them not to devalue music artists. This summer, Crow, who’s been touring in Europe with sons Wyatt, 17, and Levi, 14, in

tow, is doing shows across the U.S. She’s also in two forthcoming documentaries: the CBC’s _Lilith Fair_:_ A Celebration of Women in Music_ (2025) and _Frampton_, filming now, about her pal

PRISON How did contentious ex-couple (1996 to 2003) BILLY CRUDUP, 56, and MARY LOUISE PARKER, 59, both wind up on the jury for October’s San Quentin Film Fest, the first ever in-prison

festival to show films by inmates at San Quentin’s rehabilitation center in Northern California? If you recall, 20 years ago, Crudup left Parker, seven months pregnant, for then-costar

Claire Danes. But Billy and Mary-Louise chose to coparent young William Atticus Parker, now 20 and an actor and filmmaker himself. Parker and Crudup actually starred together in one of young

Parker’s seven-minute student films, _Parchment_. Precocious William’s got two indies under his belt — _Forty Winks_ (2022) and _Atrabilious_ (2023), which starred Mom’s pal Jeffrey Wright,

58. Wright is also on the San Quentin Film Festival jury. “Our famed Ear Hustle podcast, the first podcast created in prison, did a live tour last winter — sold out everywhere,” film fest

cofounder-director Rahsaan Thomas, 50, a former inmate and documentary producer, tells AARP. “Mary Louise Parker’s a fan, she came to the Brooklyn one. I told her our plans for the film

fest, and she immediately signed on — and asked Billy and Jeffrey to join. Now we got amazing talent.” Meanwhile, William’s next film, _The Auction_, stars his mother, while Dad shoots Noah

Baumbach’s new Netflix film with George Clooney, 63, Adam Sandler, 57, Laura Dern, 57, and _Barbie_’s Greta Gerwig, 40, Baumbach’s wife.
