It's public service announcement Thursday!

Three awesome new public service announcements landed in our inboxes today and they were all for some pretty great causes and feature some pretty great celebs trying to make a difference, so we wanted to share them with you.

Earlier this week, Justin Bieber was criticized for leaving what was widely perceived as insensitive comments in the guestbook of the Anne Frank House, the museum in Amsterdam set up as a memorial to the young Holocaust victim. However, in a new interview, Frank's stepsister says that the criticism of the pop singer is ridiculous.

"Truly inspiring to be able to come here," the 19-year-old "Baby" singer wrote. "Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber."

For the second year in a row, The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California, spans two weekends. Meaning that following this past weekend -- which was packed with parties, music, and famous faces -- it's getting ready to happen all over again beginning this Friday. And while the parties aren't as full force during weekend two, the style and celebrity quotient still will be.

One of the best-planned parties this year during the first weekend was thrown by H&M at the private Merv Griffin Estate in nearby La Quinta. The intimate affair featured a bevy of stars relaxing by a pool overlooking the Santa Rosa Mountains, while eating burgers, tacos, pizza, and desserts such as shaved ice, cotton candy, and watermelon wedges. The best part of the event was a private concert by 2012 Coachella headliner Santigold, who was flown in just for the event and played a full set of all of her hit songs, including "Disparate Youth," "L.E.S. Artistes," and "The Keepers."

It looks like Selena Gomez's bindi isn't going away anytime soon.

The 20-year-old singer, who first darned the Hindu religious garb on her forehead during a performance of her new song "Come & Get It" at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, wore the jewels again on Tuesday night during her performance on "Dancing with the Stars." Additionally, she sported the bindi while performing the song on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" for an episode that taped on Monday and aired Tuesday.

In the wake of the country's mourning following the tragic explosions at the Boston Marathon on Monday, many have reached out with their messages of love and support.

The Braxton family stopped by "omg! Insider" on Tuesday, and shared their own version of hope, a beautifully sung hymnal version of "The Lord's Prayer."

From left to right, mom Evelyn, and daughters Traci, Toni, Tamar, and Towanda Braxton (sister Trina couldn't make it), are in perfect tune with their inspiring song.

"For all those in Boston, we're with you always," said Toni.

Tune into "omg! Insider" on Tuesday night for more with the Braxtons.

On Monday afternoon, Oswalt posted a very personal reaction to what happened, and his thoughts have resonated strongly with people across the Internet. As of Tuesday morning, the post has over 258,000 "likes," over 10,300 comments, and just shy of 200,000 "shares."

Jimmy Kimmel is not too happy that the German government has confiscated Justin Bieber's monkey, and last night he announced that he's ready do something about it. If the monkey's not returned, the late-night talk show host has now threatened to off David Hasselhoff!

"After two weeks of negotiations, the Justin Bieber monkey crisis has come to head tonight," Kimmel began.

It began with a 12-year-old who thought it would be funny to turn the concept of being "Punk’d” back onto Ashton Kutcher, but now it’s evolved into something much more serious.

In the past couple of the weeks, the celebrity swatting trend has grown seemingly out of control, and now the conversation is turning to what is being done to stop the problem. In the past week alone, six new cases have taken place, starting with Diddy on Wednesday, April 3, followed by Rihanna on Thursday, Justin Timberlake and Selena Gomez on Friday, Russell Brand on Monday, and Ryan Seacrest on Wednesday. Seacrest was swatted on the same day as his radio interview with Brand, which covered the Monday incident.
