Y’all know the saying -- the bigger they are, the harder they fall. So when it comes to celeb screw-ups, they get blown up TMZ-style and put on Twitter trial faster than you can google their mugshot. But when those same disgraced stars seek to redeem their reps, the whole sitch can go from #SMH to #FTW with the right gesture of goodwill. So here’s a list of 5 celebs who’ve taken action to make up for some major missteps.

What’s the only thing more viral than a policy-babblin’ baby? Answer: STEPHEN COLBERT. Duh. Which is why Fix Young America, a movement that aims to end youth unemployment and put young Americans back to work, is pulling out both of these big guns. But first, they gotta get Colbert’s attention. And how do you do that? With a big-ass rally! Duh.

The Hunger Games trilogy covers A LOT of heavy ground -- war, poverty, government suppression, violence in the media, not to mention Team Peeta vs. Team Gale -- and the recently released first film installment doesn’t shy away from confronting these uncomfy topics either. One issue that author Suzanne Collins doesn’t overtly tackle is racism -- but a recent Twitter trend has added it to the long list of heated HG convos.

We already gave y'all the deets on Adrian Grenier's campaign to get more than 50,000 high school kids talking -- remember that real-live face-to-face stuff? -- about what it's like to grow up in a 24/7 plugged-in, media manic world with his Teenage Paparazzo Empowerment Tour, but in case you were busy texting/tweeting/posting/pinning/checking in (oh the irony!), here's some YouTubery starring the eloquent "Entourage" actor to break it down for you one more time:

Don’t worry, kids -- Newt and Kanye haven’t cornered the market on cray quotes. And sure, Mitt may be stealin’ Eminem’s beats, but it’s Rick Santorum who we're throwin’ into the sound-off stadium with none other than the Real Slim Shady! Are y’all ready for our next installment of everyone’s fav “Who Said It?” game?! Rapper or Republican!

KONY 2012. I don’t need to explain, riiiight? I mean, over 85 million people on this planet have watched the film that made an African warlord famous. And as the media circus distracts us all from the issues that really matter -- you know, like protecting children from violent exploitation -- it’s important to take a moment to meet the humans behind the hype, the young people who’ve dedicated their lives to a cause they care about.

It’s 3:30am and I’m all tracker-jackered on Cherry Coke, peanut butter M&Ms, popcorn, and, oh yeah, THE HUNGER GAMES. I just left a packed midnight show full of Panem fandom (there were actually 3 theatres completely crammed for opening night). A giddy sorority took up like two rows. This one #TeamPeeta girl rocked a homemade “I love The Boy With Bread” t-shirt. Toy arrows flew through the air. And there were a butt-ton of braids. Mine included.
