Adam Levine and I remade the Rolling Stones' classic
I've seen so many lives turn around from the impossible. I have come to embrace the idea that even the simplest act of understanding, love, and attention can produce the biggest results.
Giorgio Armani made it especially for me. I feel like a winner.
I've gotten more into my feminine side. It's sexy but with an edge. I like to try new things, whether people like it or not.
Not having all the information can make me feel vulnerable.
The energy of the crowd fuels something new inside. It reminds me to live in the moment.
I'm having an unbelievable time on the road. I am taking the time to explore each new city in a way I never have before.
devastated. I can't stop thinking about it. I can't stop talking about it. I want to do my part.

I love the song. And I love Bono. I believe AIDS is the most important issue we face ... I urge everyone to recognize the extreme disaster Africa is facing and step up.
I was able to see it with my eyes in South Africa and I thought that I needed to come to the ground too.
