Lupe Fiasco has kicked, pushed, and coasted all the way up to #2 on the MTV Music Meter earlier this week, but he’s not just any hip hop skateboarder. The “Kick, Push” rapper -- who recently announced the completion of his next album, Food and Liquor II, and has a sick new collaboration with Bassnectar -- has been an active philanthropist since his debut back in ‘06. For example, did you know that…

Yesterday, Twitter went into major overdrive with tweets that included the hashtags #MarriageEquality and #Obama. That’s ’cause yesterday President Obama officially came out in support of same-sex marriage, and the country is letting him know what we think. The response from celebs was pretty much universally positive, and we got some response from our own MTV family as well.

President Barack Obama became the first sitting President to back same-sex marriage after affirming his support in an ABC News interview earlier this afternoon. The President's "evolved" position on the issue comes days after Vice President Joe Biden expressed his support on Meet The Press this past Sunday. Yesterday in North Carolina, however, voters passed Amendment 1, amending the state's constitution to define marriage between a man and a woman, further illustrating a divide still well and alive in America.

Enjoy a lollipop, help a charity? It can happen. Well, it can happen this week, anyway -- Sukitz is having two competitions this week, and the celebs are getting involved. And Sukitz aren’t your average sweet-n-tasty lollipops: they’re advertised as being able to give you energy or help you lose weight, depending on what kind you get. In the celebrity competition, stars kinda sorta have teams helping them out. You, the fans, are the teams: whichever celeb has the most fans buying from Sukitz will get money donated to a charity of their choice. Since MTV’s the home of “Jersey Shore,” we couldn’t help noticing Ronnie get involved. #MalibuBeachhouse? #CharityCompetition? We’re all ears, dude!

Move over Met Gala, May 30 is going to be one stellar night. ‘Cause that’s when The Clarins Million Meals Concert for FEED will be going on at the Lincoln Center in New York City. Nick Cannon will be the host with the most and they’ll be performances by John Legend and Natasha Bedingfield (Will she sing “The Hills” theme song?) But the night won’t just be about how good the music is or how great Nick will be (though we know he’ll kill it!). The concert wants to raise enough money to supply one million school meals to kids who need it. In fact, in its five years of existence, FEED has already supplied almost 60 million meals worldwide. And even if you’re not able to attend, you can check out these nifty FEED bags which raises funds for the cause or simply tweet about the show with the hashtag #millionmeals.
