In the new promo, the Wizards of Waverly Place stars talk about implementing green into your school.

David, 21, shares, “Take a no-trash lunch to school. No wrappers, no plastic, no throw away containers. You use it, you bring it home. How about using recycled notebooks and school supplies [too]? Make the grade and reduce waste.”

Debby Ryan and Joe Jonas are just two of the stars teaming up for a new PSA for Disney’s Friends For Change.

Joined by Brenda Song and Moises Arias, the quartet are discussing their own feelings about the disaster and steps kids can take to make positive changes to keep local waterways clean.

How can you make a difference? When you purchase “Make a Wave” on iTunes, a $100,000 donation from the iTunes® proceeds of the song has been directed to the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund to support habitat, wildlife and community recovery in the region.

The fund is donating this contribution to expert environmental organizations responding to the disaster in the Gulf region, including $50,000 to the National Audubon Society.

Keke Palmer Graduates!

Congrats, Keke Palmer!

The 16-year-old True Jackson VP starlet has graduated from High School via Home School Program Options for Youth curriculum one year early! Such a big accomplishment!

Keke is currently hard at work on her television series and her debut album with Interscope Records. Expect Keke’s new record to be released in the fall!

Although she’s into music, movies and television, Keke still hopes that Harvard is in her future.

Bridgit Mendler and Jason Dolley are locked and loaded for a staring contest in this new video for Disney’s Friends For Change.

In the brand-new video, the Good Luck Charlie, Sonny with a Chance, Suite Life on Deck and Wizards of Waverly Place casts emphasize the importance of going green.

One thing Bridgit shared with us during the shoot about going green was, “I totally watched this on TV last year and to be apart of this is so cool. It’s really all the little things you do. My biggest pet peeve is leaving the light on when you’re not in a room. I have to be the one to turn the lights off; you know, use less water, recycle when you can…all that little stuff.”

Log onto Disney.com/ProjectGreen to see how you can go green!

Joe Jonas Has A Helping Hand!

Joe Jonas offers from green to an out-of-luck man as he leaves his local Starbucks on Wednesday afternoon (April 28).

The 20-year-old musician, who ran into some fans on his way out, dished to JJJ at Disney’s Friends for Change shoot about the upcoming season of JONAS.

Joe shared, “We have amazing guest stars this season. There’s David Henrie, Emma Roberts, Debi Mazar…it’s been incredible. I would love to see Daniel Craig on the show (laughs).”

Kevin Jonas raises his arms in victory as his family goes wild in the stands on this mini-preview of his appearance on NBC’s Minute To Win It.

The 22-year-old actor/musician, who competed for Change for the Children Foundation, dished to the L.A. Times about his appearance: “I worked very hard on the game, and it was a very good time. I would love to do it again some time. I practiced day and night, for sure, for practically two weeks.”

Kevin’s appearance will be aired on Sunday, May 23rd @ 8PM ET/PT on NBC.

Coming in at number nine on the long list of TIME’s Most Influential People, Taylor Swift takes a rest backstage in this new shot from her tour.

Stevie Nicks, who teamed up with Taylor, 20, for the 2010 Grammys, says of her duet partner, “Taylor is writing for the universal woman and for the man who wants to know her…I still walk around singing her song ‘Today was a Fairytale.’ All of us girls want that boy to pick us up and think that we look beautiful even though we’re in jeans and clogs. We want it at 14, and we want it at 60.”

She continued, “Taylor sings, she writes, she performs, she plays great guitar. She reminds me of myself in her determination and her ability to be extremely childlike. It’s an innocence that’s so special and so rare. This little girl writes the songs that make the whole world sing.”

WHO INFLUENCES YOU the most?

We’ve found the future winner of Project Runway. When it came time to decide what to wear to prom, Elizabeth Rasmuson ditched any thoughts of Vera Wang for Wrigley. That’s right, the gum – Wrigley’s 5 gum to be exact..

“I heard about someone [who] made a dress out of duct-tape or something one time, so I just was like, ‘What’s something cool?’ and I always liked the colors of the 5 gum,” Elizabeth says.

To make the dress, she bought tons of gum, passed it out to friends, and collected the wrappers back. She stopped counting after 200, but had enough to make a matching vest for her boyfriend, too.
The Iowa teen’s mom fully supports her daughter’s creativity. “She’s a junior in high school and in today’s world a lot of the girls are so worried about fitting in and being like the next girl. I just think it’s really, really cool and really awesome that’s she willing to put herself [out there] – especially with an event as special and one time as prom.”

Chelsea Staub – Kissing Joe Jonas Didn’t Suck!

Chelsea Staub flirts with the camera as she appears on E!’s Daily 10 report on Monday night (April 26).

The 21-year-old actress plus costar pals the Jonas Brothers were highlighted on the program during a set visit, which also included Emma Roberts.

Chelsea , 21, dished on the fans coming around to her, saying, “They are getting nicer. About a couple years ago Joe and I went shopping and these pictures came out of us in Santa Monica together, and that’s when the hate mail came in because nobody knew why I was there, or why I was attached to the boys so that’s when the death threats were pretty heavy. But since then, I think I have kind of earned their trust.”

And kissing Joe? “It didn’t suck,” she said.

Caitlyn Taylor Love snaps a pic with Demi Lovato at Disney’s Friends For Change shoot over the weekend in Los Angeles.

JJJ recently caught up with Caitlyn on the set of “Summertime” music shoot about her love for Demi.

Caitlyn shared, “I love Demi’s music. She’s such a real musician and I have so much respect for her. I went to one of her concerts.”

She also told us about her own music, saying, “It’s going really good. I’m kind of just doing it on my own right now. I don’t have a record deal or anything right now. I just want to get my album finished and then give it to them [a label] so they can’t change anything (laughs). My style is really heavy rock actually.”

Stay tuned for more on Caitlyn’s music. Follow Caitlyn on Twitter @CaitlynTLove and JustJaredJr @justjaredjr!

Daniella Monet shows off her dance moves as her younger fans try to copy her at the Teaching Garden Launch in Santa Monica, Calif., on Monday morning (April 26).

The 21-year-old actress joined Jessica Stroup, Gabrielle Reece and AARP Create The Good volunteers at the Entertainment Industry Foundation’s Teaching Garden event, which is a national program that brings an innovative, hands-on nutrition and fitness curriculum to young children. The event teaches students how a few small changes in diet and exercise can make life-saving differences.

Daniella told JJJ via Twitter about her day, “Honestly, I had the BEST time! The kids were all SO sweet and such great gardeners! I learned a lot from them. We danced too! It really was awesome. I couldn’t wait to tell my family after wards what a great experience it was.”

IT’S ON!

It’s here too! The official announcement of the Camp Rock 2 The Final Jam concert tour, premiere date and soundtrack! Let’s start with the most exciting:

THE CONCERT: The Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato and the rest of the cast of the movie will be heading out on a worldwide concert tour. The three continent concert tour begins July 27 in Dallas, Texas. Tickets can be purchased at LiveNation. Also, beginning May 11, fans can also access a “Camp Rock”-themed premium iTouch and iPhone app, which will also be optimized for the iPad, to buy tickets to the concert, hear music clips, watch videos and more.

THE SOUNDTRACK: Featuring 15 original songs spanning hip-hop, rock and pop/rock, including “Can’t Back Down,” will be available Tuesday, July 27 on iTunes and in stores nationwide.

THE MOVIE: Premieres Friday, September 3 @ 8PM ET/PT on Disney Channel.

Camp Rock 2 The Final Jam summary: All the Camp Rockers have returned, eager to tune up and rock out. Nobody’s more excited than Mitchie (Lovato), who anticipates more than a summer of music. Fresh from a world tour, the rock band Connect 3 (Jonas Brothers) are hanging all summer – Shane to pursue last summer’s crush on Mitchie, his band mates as moral support.

Across the lake glistens the new Camp Star: a high-tech, big-money music camp funded by Brown’s former band mate-with-a-grudge, Axel Turner. Down-to-earth Camp Rock may have passion, talent and commitment, but Camp Star boasts resources, infrastructure and money — enough money to poach Camp Rock’s counselors and put Camp Rock out of business.

But Axel isn’t counting on a natural born leader named Mitchie, who vows to save her beloved camp and her friends’ summer. Clipboard in hand, she organizes the older Camp Rockers into counselors and keeps the camp running. Then Mitchie steps it up again… by challenging the egocentric Camp Star to a Final Jam — an end-of-summer performance duel… may the best camp win.

ARE YOU EXCITED FOR Camp Rock 2 The Final Jam?
