"I attended the Do Something Awards last night and and got to watch countless celebrities address the importance of giving back to the community. It was awesome, it really showed that there is an ongoing trend within Hollywood to promote giving back and &amp;quot;DOing Something.&amp;quot; This isn&amp;#039;t a terrible fad to give into at all! Let me tell you a little bit about the celebs who where there to give back and entertain: Boys Like Girls played a casual acoustic rendition of &amp;quot;Hero/Heroine,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Great Escape,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Thunder&amp;quot; while Akon tore up the stage with his pop hits &amp;quot;Beautiful&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Right Now.&amp;quot; High School Musical&amp;#039;s Corbin Bleu hosted the event with great enthusiasm while stars such Amber Tamblyn from Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and surprise guest Nick Cannon presented the brick-shaped awards to winners. Usher, a great supporter of several charitable events, spoke about his summer camp known as The New Look Foundation where several teens (ages 12-17) learn about the sports and entertainment industries.  Other stars made appearances such as Mark Indelicato from &amp;quot;Ugly Betty,&amp;quot; Lil&amp;#039; Mama (singer of &amp;quot;Lip Gloss&amp;quot;) and Phat Farm&amp;#039;s own Russell Simmons. It was indeed an inspirational night, getting me fired up to go out there and lend a helping hand to the world! If all these celebrities can give their time and energy to help others, I&amp;#039;m sure that everyone can make even a small attempt to make their world a better place. What do you think of the Do Something Awards? Do you think celebrities are making a good effort to help others in need? xoxo, Arielle "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
