Good Causes

Who said you need to be a great speller to win a spelling bee? Dianna Agron cheated her way to the final round of a charity bee benefiting Los Angeles students this weekend.

The Glee star posted this message on her fundraising page, "Help me win!!! I need your support to cheat my way to the top and without your support, 826LA won't be able to help students ages 6-18 with their creative and expository writing skills. The more money I raise, the better my chance of taking home the trophy. Thanks for your help!"

Dianna's way too sweet to cheat for real. The way this spelling bee worked was the more money you raised, the more you could "cheat." For $100, you could request a one letter spelling hint. A new word cost you $500 and for $750 you could use a dictionary. Even if you messed up in this bee, $6,000 bought you a second chance.

Justin Bieber is all about using his star power to give back. He's been a big supporter of the Pencils of Promise organization, a nonprofit organization that builds schools in developing countries, and now the 16-year-old has donated proceeds from his My World tour to help the Nashville flood victims.

On Wednesday, JB announced that he would be giving $1.06 per ticket sold from his Tennessee concert date to those in need. In total, the Canadian pop star raised $32,690 in flood relief. "I'm really glad to be here and help out, something that's really important to me," Justin said. "Music has been apart of my life as long as I can remember."

Being in Nashville also reminded the Canadian pop star about his good pal Taylor Swift. The singer used his Twitter account to give two shout outs to the country star before his show at the Bridgestone Arena. "Nashville!!! @taylorswift13 where u at?!?!" he tweeted. "Let's have some fun today. Nashville today we give back."

"I was bullied in middle school. I also observed others being bullied. Everyone I've talked to said they had been bullied at one point or another," Illinois teen Kelsey Nulph recalls.

As part of her student council duties, Kelsey created a survey that ultimately concluded that 19 percent of high school teens thought bullying was a problem in their school district. After realizing how much of a serious problem bullying had become, this 17-year-old created an organization during her junior year called "Stand Up. Stand Out."

Most bullying was occurring at the middle school level, so Kelsey's program placed high school students with middle school students who teachers identified as having a difficult time socially.

"It was a tremendous success," Kelsey raves. "They loved having high school mentors. They felt better about themselves."

"The children of Africa are beautiful kids. I've been so blessed to get to know them," Joe Jonas spills about his recent humanitarian trip. As part of his work for the Jonas Brothers' charity, Change for the Children, he flew from Los Angeles to London, then to Cape Town in South Africa, hopped another flight to Johannesburg, and then finally boarded a smaller plane that took him to Botswana.

"I've been talking to the kids and telling them that they can really do anything they want to do," the 20-year-old says. He told the African schoolchildren, "You guys are a new generation of kids and you guys are going to be able to influence a lot of people," and also enjoyed playing soccer with them and singing.

"I don't really know if you can really feel the magnitude of the feeling you get when you see those kids, or they're smiling and dancing. It's powerful stuff," this JoBro confesses. Another highlight of his trip was meeting Prince William. "He's totally awesome. Really nice guy," Joe reveals.

In May, we told you that Glee's Jane Lynch will be hosting the 2010 Do Something Awards, and now we've got some more exciting news. Eclipse stars Kellan Lutz and Boo Boo Stewart will also be at the star-studded event!

The 25-year-old North Dakota native, who donated 50 pairs of jeans to the non-profit's Teens for Jeans campaign in January, was confirmed as a guest on Wednesday. His Twilight co-star Boo Boo announced his attendance on Twitter the next day. "Gunna be at the Do Something Awards on monday too," he tweeted.

Castmates Ashley Greene and Nikki Reed have both filmed PSAs for the organization, although we're not sure if they'll be at the event next week. Demi Lovato and AnnaLynne McCord, however, have both sent in their RSVPs.

The 2010 Do Something Awards honors five nominees for their work toward social change. Each will receive a community grant of $10,000, and one person will be selected as the grand prize winner of $100,000 for their charity. VH1 will broadcast the event live on July 19 at 9 p.m. ET, so set your DVRs to catch a glimpse of all your favorite stars.

Sophia Bush is up for a Teen Choice Award on August 9 and -- although we don't usually play favorites -- we're really hoping she wins.

Sophia's fellow nominees for Choice TV Actress in a Drama, including Shailene Woodley, Blake Lively, and Leighton Meester, are beyond worthy contenders, but the One Tree Hill veteran is promising to use her victory to support a crucial cause.

"If I win this surfboard, I'm going to sign it and I'm going to put it up on CharityBuzz, and I will auction it off for the victims of the oil spill," Sophia dishes.

"I want to raise as much money as possible. I'll get every single person that I've been working with on this to sign it...Look, I don't care. I'll drag it over to Ryan Seacrest's office and shamelessly carry it around to get it signed."
