The Jonas Brothers Support The Elephant Project!

The Jonas Brothers each hold up a stuffed elephant in support of The Elephant Project, an organization to raise money and awareness for the Alzheimer’s Association.

Here’s how The Elephant Project works: Celebs pose with an elephant beanie baby (because “elephants never forget”) and sign a special Elephant Project card, which are then auctioned off to raise money to fight Alzheimer’s disease. Each auction package comes with an 8″×10″ picture of the celebrity and the elephant, a signed card from that celebrity, and an elephant beanie baby.

Currently, over $21,000 has been raised for Alzheimer’s care, research and support!

Ariana Grande is warming up her vocal cords not for another YouTube cover, but for a bigger benefit — The Broadway in South Africa Benefit!

The event will celebrate and benefit the funding for Broadway in South Africa (BSA), which is a non-profit venture aimed to develop a cross-cultural exchange between youth who are in need and artists who seek to use their talents for change.

Also performing are Frankie Grande, Emma Hunton, Jose Llana, Tracy McDowell, and Lisa Nicole Wilkerson.

It all takes place on October 4th @ 7PM at the Manhattan Center in NYC.

Anna Maria Perez de Tagle is using her voice for good!

The 18-year-old Camp Rock cutie will be performing at the 2010 Roar for a Cure Carnival next month at the East Hampton Indoor Tennis Club.

Benefiting the Max Cure Fund For Pediatric Cancer Research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the foundation was started by Max’s dad, David. David has been been raising money for not only the cancer clinic that treats his son, but for families at this clinic with kids that are less fortunate.

The festival will also benefit Katy’s Courage Fund and Dr. Oren Becher’s Pediatric Brain Tumor Research Fund at MSKCC as well as feature more performances from Stephen Jerzak, Burnham, and Six Volt.

Chelsea Staub Throws Best Benefit Show Ever!

Chelsea Staub gathered her best pals — actors and musicians — for one of the best benefit shows ever — Harmonies For Haiti — at the House of Blues late last week in Los Angeles.

Musicians Benton Paul, Tyler Hilton, Drake Bell, Eye Alaska, The Summer Set, Kristy Frank, The Record Life, Tommy and the High Pilots, Debate Team, Frank & Derol, The Scholars, Jessarae and Julia Lucafo all gathered to play music to benefit the American Red Cross’ Haiti relief.

The 21-year-old actress caught up with JJJ on the front porch and shared her inspiration for the benefit show, “I was at home in my sweatpants and watching the news thinking, ‘This is so sad.’ It was ripping me up and I got on my phone and started text messaging. I’ve been blessed to know these actors and musicians who are my friends and thought, ‘We can do something with this.’”

Chelsea continued, “I got in contact with The Summer Set and Eye Alaska first and asked them if they wanted to put on a small benefit show and they said yes. We were counting on a small show, like 100 people. But the momentum grew and grew, we went from two bands to 14. I did all of this from my bedroom. It’s been a huge undertaking but I’m just so humbled by the people who were there and I think this show actually shows a lot of true colors. It’s amazing and it’s for a great cause.”

Chelsea, thank you for putting on a great show! JJJ loved every minute.

Spotted in the audience: Brittany Curran, Taylor Spreitler, Logan Miller, Cody Linley, Nick Jonas, Chloe Bridges and many, many more!
