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!

He might have dropped his name from Common Sense to Common, but the man still has a lot of it (common sense, that is). This being election year, there’s plenty of talk about voting, and right now Common is talking about getting YOU to vote in the MTV Act Aspire Awards.

Stunning teen actress Victoria Justice of Nickelodeon's hit show "Victorious" is totally stopping traffic -- but not for the reason you think. As the spokestarlet for National Youth Traffic Safety Month, she's asking all you teen drivers to slow down, stop texting, quit fiddling with the dang radio and really think about what you're doing when you hop in your ride because the consequences for young people are DEADLY. In fact, 11 teens will lose their lives in car crashes TODAY. Yeah, makes you wanna pull over for a second, huh?

Got plans this summer? Jordin Sparks wants to send you off on a jet plane to Japan in July for two weeks!

You don’t have emotions -- you have emoji. You’re an obscure anime character every year for Halloween. And most importantly, when the earthquake and tsunami hit Japan last year, you immediately wanted to strap on your Undercover Nike kicks (designed by your fashion fav Jun Takahashi, of course) and be part of the first relief mission to the devastated island country.

He’s a living legend, and he knows what it’s like to be Livin' on a Prayer. Through his music and civic engagement, Jon Bon Jovi has leveraged his rock star status to be an awesome crusader for his community and his country. Last summer, he visited youth in schools and shelters across the U.S. to learn about how they’re dealing with our country’s tough economy. An alarming 6.7 million young people are out of school or unemployed. That’s cray! They need jobs and America needs their skills and talents.

Singer, Punk'd master and anti-bullying advocate Justin Bieber has lent his tune “Born to be Somebody” to be the background music for the new “Bully” trailer. A majah supporter of the doc, the Biebz was one of 500,000+ people who signed an online petition urging the MPAA to give “Bully” an age-rating lower than R. The petition paid off, and now the film is rated PG-13, so teens affected by bullying can see it. There’s a lot to be said for being a Belieber!
