  • Victoria Justice And Cody Simpson Get Cozy At Dinner In NYC

    Victoria Justice appeared with Cody Simpson at the 2015 DoSomething.org Spring Dinner. The dinner was held on June 11, Thursday night in New York City.

    Justice looked intense on the red carpet wearing a fringed mini dress, strappy black heels and a cute clutch. Justice was wearing Vans from head to toe during the dinner event.

    Simpson went in a casual get up. He walked in wearing an acid wash shirt, black trousers, slip on shoes and his signature baseball cap.

    The two were seated next to each other at the event. Simpson escorted Justice as they posed for pictures on the red carpet.

    Recently, Gigi Hadid and Simpson broke up but Simpson seemed to look happy during the dinner party at Capitale despite that fact.

    Hadid also looked fine after their split. In fact, she was spotted hanging out withJoe Jonas and the two are said to be dating.

    Rumors have also been circulating that Justice and Simpson have a budding romance.

    During the DoSomething.org Spring Dinner, the 22-year-old Eye Candy actress got the chance to meet-up with the YouTube star Max Schneider.

    The two former Nickelodeon stars met at the event where they celebrated a year of young people taking action on social issues.

    Justice even tweeted about her meet-up with Schneider saying, “Look who I bumped into @ the @dosomething spring dinner! @Maxgschneider! Here to support a great cause! #GiveBack”

    Simpson also revealed in a tweet how much he enjoyed the occasion. “Event @dosomething was rad last night. Love playing music in support of change,” Simpson tweeted.

    After the event, Simpson was spotted looking tired as he arrived in Los Angeles. The 18-year-old Australian singer made his way through LAX airport wearing a serious face. It seemed that the jet-set celebrity lifestyle had been taking its toll on the singer.

  • Victoria Justice Joins Cody Simpson and More at DoSomething.org Event

    Victoria Justice joined Cody Simpson and a slew of other celebrities at a dinner for DoSomething.org in New York City on Thursday. The whole gang celebrated a year of young people taking action on important social issues. Lots of fundraising and entertainment was included at the event.

    DoSomething.org “makes the world suck less. One of the largest global orgs for young people and social change, our 3.8 million members tackle campaigns that impact every cause, from poverty to violence to the environment to literally everything else. Any cause, anytime, anywhere.”

    Celebrities like Victoria Justice and Cody Simpson help promote the organization–using their connections in Hollywood circles to raise both funds and awareness.

    It was just a few days before the DoSomething.org celebration that Victoria Justice appeared at the Vans Custom Culture Event held at Industria Superstudio. She served as one of the judges who helped select a $50,000 grand prize winner at the Vans Custom Culture competition.

    While Victoria Justice reportedly wore head to toe Vans for the Custom Culture Event, she donned haute couture at the DoSomething.org dinner, wearing a BCBG Max Azria dress, a pair of Steve Madden shoes, and accessorizing with Henri Bendel jewelry and clutch.

    It’s exciting to see celebrities like Victoria Justice using her notoriety for the good of others. She sets a fine example for the younger Hollywood set.

  • Bing, Lenovo, DoSomething.org Really Want Teens to Not Be Lazy This Summer

    Bing continues its mission to get people #doing more as it has teamed up with Lenovo and DoSomething.org to launch “The Hunt: 11 Days of Doing,” a call to action for youngsters to get up off of their keisters and do some good in their communities over the summer.

    Teens in the United States apparently have a motivation problem when it comes to volunteering. A surprising 93% of them say they want to volunteer, but only 22% actually end up doing it; the other 71% say they didn’t get around to volunteering because, as is their typical adolescent wont, nobody asked them to volunteer (although that kinda defeats the purpose of volunteering, kiddos). Trying to tap into this unmotivated potential, DoSomething.org has launched a website for “The Hunt” that hopes to get teens started with effecting some positive changes in their communities. By working with the technological implements that teenagers seem addicted to these days, the companies will have participants communicate their progress throughout the 11-day challenge via cell phones, the internet, and social media.

    Bing Senior Product Manager Karin Muskopf predicts that the integration of social media as a tool for building communities will help promote activism. “Bing’s new social features will play an integral role in helping participants search for the clues, connect with their Facebook friends for advice and see what experts recommend in order to quickly research and tackle the daily challenges,” she said.

    Challenges in “The Hunt: 11 Days of Doing” will focus on humanitarian issues related to the environment, energy and recycling, poverty, violence and bullying, animal welfare, and more. Participants in the challenge will also be eligible for prizes like Lenovo Ultrabooks and scholarships.

    The challenge has also enlisted the help of several celebrities like Hillary Duff, Cody Simpson, Rachael Leigh Cook, and this young lady, Shenae Grimes, who the internet tells me is on the relaunched version of Beverly Hills, 90210 (which the internet also tells me is simply titled 90210).

    While this is generally good for the heart and soul of humanity, it also affords Bing a unique opportunity to introduce its newly launched design, the three-column format that integrates information from Facebook and Twitter into search results, to a young and likely obstinate generation of internet users. And I only say obstinate because what teenagers don’t look forward to velcroing themselves to the couch for the duration of their summer break and happily doing nothing? If Bing can break the pattern of irresistible laziness of adolescents, then toppling Google should be a walk in the park.
