It's been only three weeks since Jason Collins came out as the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport, but the impact has been tremendous — as was evident at Monday's GLSEN Respect Awards in Manhattan.

With event co-chairs Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick looking on from the stage — and omg! in the audience — the Washington Wizards player stood before a packed Gotham Hall to accept the Courage Award from the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network and received a minute-long standing ovation.

Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton (Getty Images)Following Monday's news that a massive tornado ripped through an area outside of Oklahoma City — killing at least 24 people — celebrities took to social media to offer words of sympathy and rally support for the devastated area.

Several of those voices came from the world of country music. Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton live in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, and while they were traveling when the twister hit, their hearts were home with their neighbors.

"Just landed in LA and hearing about all the tornados in Oklahoma right now... Get somewhere safe!!!" Shelton tweeted on Monday.

Soon after, Lambert, who was on the road in Denver, Colorado, shared her thoughts as well. "Pray. That's all we [can] do. Pray for peace for Oklahoma," she wrote.

While we have a good five months to go before Halloween rolls around, the bubbly 24-year-old "Footloose" actress and dancer seemed to get her fix of the ghoulish holiday on Friday when she donned an all-black ensemble — complete with skeleton slippers! — for a flight from Los Angeles to London.

Beyonce in Milan (Splash News)The Beyoncé pregnancy rumors were a sizzling hot topic last week – and they don't seem to be going away anytime soon.

While the 31-year-old has recovered from her bout of dehydration and exhaustion and appeared on stage over the weekend in skintight costumes, the buzz that she and Jay-Z are secretly expecting isn't fading away. Let's look at the latest…

Signs Point to No: It was reported on Monday that Jay-Z denied the rumors when he responded to a congratulatory email about the baby news from the program director of New York radio station Hot 97. "It's not true," the program director, Ebro Darden, said in an in-studio video clip.

The couple, who has been working through marital difficulties, reunited on the red carpet over the weekend – and even shared a kiss.

"The Talk" co-host, 60, and the Black Sabbath singer, 64, showed a united front at the An Evening With Women gala at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills on Saturday. They were openly affectionate on the red carpet – he gave her a kiss, they held hands, and she was seen smoothing hair.

Perhaps no one there was more excited to see them stepping out together happily than their daughter Kelly, who stood with them beaming.

Inside the benefit, which supported the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center, Ozzy performed and Sharon, who was a platinum sponsor of the event, worked the room and hung out with Kelly and her "The Talk" co-host Sara

We all know the 39-year-old beauty is dedicated to her relationship with long-time boyfriend Ryan Gosling, but it appears that she is equally devoted to one particular outfit that she’s been wearing over and over this week.

Behold – yet another reason to love Mindy Kaling!

Much like her alter ego on "The Mindy Project," the 33-year-old actress is known for being perfectly … imperfect – and that was perhaps no more evident than it was on Thursday as she made her way to the set of "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" midway through her glamification process.Kaling, in a wig, for 'The Mindy Project' season finale.

The funny girl was snapped outside NBC Studios in Manhattan wearing the stylish patterned dress she would later don during the TV interview, but her hair was still "in the works." Sections of it were curled and pinned as she walked down the city sidewalk.

This is Kaling's second amusing hairstyle of the week. On Tuesday's season finale of her show, she debuted a super cropped 'do as her lovingly high-maintenance doctor character tried to prove to her minister boyfriend that she'd be able to rough it during a year-long volunteer mission in Haiti.

While her character's look wasn't exactly a hit – she was mistaken for a young boy – she got her man in the end. And on Thursday, Kaling tweeted this fun behind-the-scenes snapshot of her wigging out before filming the episode.

Brad Pitt (FameFlynet)Brad Pitt is keeping calm and carrying on.

After his fiancée, Angelina Jolie, went public with the news that she underwent a preventive double mastectomy earlier this year, the 49-year-old "World War Z" star was back to work on Wednesday.

Dressed in layers of all black clothing – including some low-hanging pants that would be Justin Bieber-approved – and his favorite aviator shades, Pitt was photographed leaving Paramount Studios in Los Angeles. His long locks pulled back in a ponytail, he carried a black bag and a phone.
