His homophobic Twitter rants, nasty public beefs and general foot-in-mouth syndrome were overshadowing his beats in a bad way.

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.

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.
