Idol Gives Back $45 Million!

This year’s episode of Idol Gives Back raised nearly $45 million to benefit various charities including the Feeding America, Children’s Health Fund, United Nations Foundation, Malaria No More and Save the Children’s U.S. Programs.

Performances made on the American Idol stage were given by Carrie Underwood, Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys and Sir Elton John.

The annual fund-raising event has raised more than $140 million since its inception in 2007. Last year, Idol Gives Back raised $60 million.

Jennifer Garner reads There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Shell to a little girl at LBJ Elementary in Jackson, Kentucky.

The 38-year-old actress took part in Save The Children’s Early Steps to School Success program, which helps kids get ready for school by making sure they have strong reading skills.

Jen’s visit to Breathitt, Kentucky – near her hometown – was televised as part of American Idol’s “Idol Gives Back” special yesterday (April 22).

“Four-year-olds who grow up in poverty are 18 months behind children who grow up in even lower-middle-class communities,” Jen said. “It’s not fair.”

Gabrielle Union is all smiles as she attends an evening of cocktails and private shopping at the Ralph Lauren Atlanta store on Wednesday (April 21) in Atlanta, Georgia.

The 37-year-old actress (pictured here with actress Jasmine Burke) shopped to benefit The Ludacris Foundation, a nonprofit that serves to inspire youth and encourage healthy lifestyles.

Founder Chris “Ludacris” Bridges also attended the event!

Nick Jonas & Nicole Anderson – Holding Hand On Set!

While Joe Jonas gets dramatic on set, brother Nick was seen stealing a moment with on-screen love interest Nicole Anderson on the set of JONAS on Wednesday afternoon (April 21) in Long Beach, Calif.

JJJ can confirm that Nick and Nicole have a little romance in the new season of JONAS and that Nick (the character) has written a song for Macy (Nicole). We can’t wait to see the on-screen relationship develop.

Earlier last week, the trio and Demi Lovato headed out to dinner at Farfalla Restaurant.

Kevin, Nick and Joe Jonas are anxious for a game of golf in this new shot from their adventures in Europe from Jonas Brothers: Living The Dream 2.

The musical trio caught up with MTV recently and dished on their upcoming DCOM, Camp Rock 2 The Final Jam.

They shared about the feel and leaked pictures, “[We shot] at so many different locations this time. The story line is really great. They built a camp for the movie and they blocked off a whole mile radius so that people couldn’t really find out what the movie was about. It was a really fun experience, and everyone really kept it under wraps. The director [Paul Hoen] was the one who kind of leaked pictures on his Facebook … of all the people!”

Joe also dished on being a part of the new documentary film, OCEANS, saying, “I didn’t expect that at all when the charity asked us. And Demi [Lovato] and I were like, ‘Definitely.’ Then to hear it was a part of the movie, it was an even greater thing for us. It’s so cool.”

Remember, the FIRST music video from Camp Rock 2 The Final Jam, “Can’t Back Down,” premieres THIS Sunday, April 25th.

Demi Lovato gets comfy as she chats it up with Radio Disney host Ernie D during her takeover at the studios in Burbank, Calif., earlier this week.

The 17-year-old actress/singer dished about Camp Rock 2, funny stuff behind-the-scenes and her favorite Sonny skit of the moment. Check it:

On her favorite song from Camp Rock 2 The Final Jam: “‘I Wouldn’t Change a Thing’ (the duet with boyfriend Joe Jonas). It’s a song that’s close to my heart. It’s probably one of my favorite parts of the movie.”

On her favorite Sonny With a Chance skit: “‘The Real Princesses of New Jersey,’ I get to put on a blonde wig and I don’t look like myself! I like putting on all the crazy makeup.”

On the funniest thing that happened behind-the-scenes of Camp Rock 2: One night in particular when we were all sitting around a campfire, Nick, Kevin and Joe were being so hilarious. I was having a hard time trying not to laugh. When I watched the scene back, I was totally laughing in the scene! Sometimes those boys will make you laugh until you cry. They’re the funniest people ever.”

Be sure to head on over to RadioDisney.com to learn about how you can get Demi to perform a concert at your school and tune into Radio Disney to listen to Demi’s takeover @ 6PM ET/3PM PT.

Also pictured below is Radio Disney listener Alana Collins won a contest to meet Demi and present $5,000 to an organization important to Demi (Pacer Center, Inc.).
