The cast of MTV’s Awkward (minus Nikki Deloach) hit the red carpet of the 2013 MTV Movie Awards. The teen comedy centers around Ashley Rickards’ character, Jenna Hamilton, a “teenager who struggles with her identity, especially after an accident is misconstrued as a suicide attempt.” The show was official renewed for a third season that’ll contain 20 episodes. Look for them to start airing beginning April 16, 2013 at 10pm. For more info, visit Awkward at MTV.com.

A long list of up & comers were on hand at Variety’s 6th Annual Power of Youth Event held Paramount Studios in Hollywood yesterday afternoon. With the fall premiere season upon us & the 2012 Emmy Awards next week, look for countless more parties over the next couple weeks helping to create buzz & of course, raise money for charity! Designed to celebrate the joy of sharing their millions with the needy, the event gives young stars an opportunity to learn more about philanthropy, while also enjoying entertainment and activities.
Here’s more about this year’s event directly from Variety. We found the final statement somewhat perplexing for obvious reasons:
This year’s event will honor the Jonas brothers, Vanessa Hudgens, “Modern Family” star Sarah Hyland, Jordin Sparks, “Vampire Diaries” star Kat Graham and Diego Boneta. They join previous honorees including Justin Bieber and Shailene Woodley.
The cast of Cartoon Network’s “Level Up” will host this year’s event, which will feature a musical perf by Graham.
Each honoree has chosen a philanthropic org to spotlight: Change for the Children Foundation (Jonas brothers); the George Lopez Foundation (Hyland); the Water Project (Graham); Make a Wish (Hudgens); Child Help (Sparks) and the Vannie E. Cook Jr. Children’s Cancer & Hematology Clinic (Boneta).
Variety publisher Brian Gott says young stars are carefully vetted to make sure they genuinely embody a philanthropic spirit and serve as a role model for the fans that look up to them.
So, they actually vet each attendee to make sure they haven’t done anything in the past that would make them a negative role model for young fans?! Really, Variety?

Dania Ramirez & Emmy Rossum are by far my favorites of the bunch, but as always, I have my freaky biases. The ladies enjoyed delicious food & drinks at the celeb-hotspot Cecconi’s in West Hollywood courtesy of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) & InStyle magazine. “A Night Of Firsts” was a star-studded party used to kick off the upcoming award season & announce the beautiful new Miss Golden Globe, Rainey Qualley (actress Andie MacDowell’s daughter).
Chosen by the HFPA, Miss Golden Globe is traditionally the child of a well-known celebrity and assists during the Golden Globe Awards ceremony (and hooks up with sugar daddy actors, producers or directors following the event). The 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards will air LIVE coast-to-coast on Sunday, January 15, 2012 on NBC from 5:00-8:00 p.m. (PST)/8:00-11:00 p.m. (EST) from the Beverly Hilton Hotel with host Ricky Gervais.
