The two rappers took part in the Celebrity Court of Dreams, which was a charity game mixing up big name stars and seventh and eighth grade players to make enough money that the kids could keep playing on their teams. Afterward, Bow Wow tweeted about it (and gave us some pics!):

As Selena says in the beginning of her PSA bellow, “Right now more than a million children can die in the Sahel Region.” This is an urgent matter and Selena wants all of us to help out.

OMG. Earth Day is practically here! Sunday, 4/22 if you didn't know. We here at Act HQ thought about what to do for the big day (It's like our wedding day. Kinda.) We wanted to do something a little bit different than telling you about eco-friendly products or why you should hug a tree or whatever. So we decided to holla at some of our fav MTV Stars (Tyler Posey! Colton Haynes! Ashley Rickards! Dan Savage! And more!) and ask them a super important question, "What would you miss the most if you had no electricity?"

Adam Lambert would take away everyone's guns and give out pizza, while Lady Gaga would grant equal rights to LGBT Americans. If fun. were President, they'd have a National Jam Day. And if Mac Miller or A$AP Rocky were President... well, let's just say it's pretty fitting with today being 4/20 (April 20) and all.
