Gossip Teen

Charity and giving back is very important to Justin Bieber.

The teenager uses his music and concert sales to help benefit his charities of choice: Pencils of Promise and The Children’s Miracle Network. JB also meets with kids from the Make-A-Wish Foundation before concerts and tries to connect with them and make their experience memorable.

CNN interviewed Justin and asked why this is so important to him.

“For me it’s about helping people out that haven’t had opportunity,” Bieber said.

Justin and his mother really struggled and had hard times until she uploaded videos of her son to YouTube and he was discovered. As Bieber’s popularity grew, his memories of how tough it was for him and his mom inspired him to help out as often as he could.

Charming Steven R. McQueen has been making the rounds promoting his latest movie Piranha 3D and chatting about his role on the hit TV show The Vampire Diaries.

From CNN’s Health Minute – a very short interview with Nick Jonas about his struggle with diabetes. As most of his fans know, the seventeen year old Jonas Brother was diagnosed four years ago and has since gone on to speak on Capitol Hill for funding and awareness. He has also become a paid spokesperson for Bayer products and you’ve probably seen his commercials for their insulin meter. Jonas has learned to balance his condition but mentions that sometimes his brothers have had to cover for him onstage. Check out the (too short) video above.

Nick Jonas looked positively presidential and professional on Monday afternoon as he spoke to The National Press Club at a conference on juvenile diabetes. The singer spends time educating and raising awareness of this disease which he suffers from as well.

Jonas also went to CNN and was interviewed for the evening news program The Situation Room.
