Joining Braun are Cody Simpson, Carly Rae Jepsen, Amber Riley, and Tori Kelly!

The campaign aims to raise money and awareness to kids in the U.S. who face hunger every day of their lives.

Tori Kelly wrote a new song called “Fill A Heart” to support the campaign. It will be available to download from iTunes next month!

Amber Riley and Cody Simpson also recorded versions of the song, which will be available March 1.

“Everyone wants to get involved,” Braun told Billboard. “We are a country with the means to provide for all our citizens — 17 million [hungry] kids is an unacceptable number. We have a lot more work to do, but I love the idea that as many as 3 million meals are going to come out of this.”

Introducing 5 Seconds of Summer!


If you haven’t heard of the Australian pop rock band 5 Seconds of Summer (or 5SOS for short) you’re not alone… but if you know and love them, you’re in good company!

The group has a massive international fan following, and soon will be known to even more fans across the world, as they’re supporting One Direction on their worldwide Take Me Home tour!

The band features 16-year-old Luke “Hemmo” Hemmings on lead vocals and guitar, 17-year-old guitarist Michael Clifford, 17-year-old bassist Calum Hood, and 18-year-old drummer Ashton Irwin.

The boys are all super cute, talented, AND they play their own instruments! Though they may not yet be well known to American audiences, they’re certainly a force to be reckoned with.

One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson is a long time fan of the 5SOS, and when he posted a link of their YouTube page to his Twitter, it helped the boys rise to international fame! 1D’s Niall Horan is also a big fan, tweeting a video clip of the band’s first single, “Out Of My Limit.”

The song is an emotional, guitar-driven rock tune about love and longing- a topic we can all relate to! The video for the song reached 100,000 views within just a day!

Are you a long-time fan of the band, or a new convert? Tell us about it in the comments below!

Supah Ninjas Stars Dish on All Things Ninja!

On the Nickelodeon show, Supah Ninjas, a group of friends bands together to form a crime-fighting group of ninjas!

We asked Supah Ninjas stars Ryan Potter, Carlos Knight, and Gracie Dzienny all about what it takes to be a ninja, and what it’s like to star on the show!

(For the full interviews, check out our Tumblr!)

Not everyone can be a ninja. It takes years of practice, concentration, and dedication. Gracie and Ryan agreed, however, that there’s one thing that really helps them get into the ninja spirit!

“When I put on that black Lycra, I feel unstoppable,” Gracie said.

“I put on the ninja suit and, BAM, ninja, in the shadows,” Ryan agreed.

It’s probably hard not to feel like a real ninja when you really look the part!

Carlos has a different ninja routine.

“All I really have to do is turn up my energy and take note of what’s happening around me in the scene,” Carlos said. “It all flows naturally.”

Snacks also played a big part on the Supah Ninjas set.

Every week during the filming of the most recent season of the show, Gracie baked eight dozen cupcakes that tied into the villain of the week!

“The cupcakes I baked every week for the cast and crew really had an impact,” Gracie said. “It was my creative outlet.”

Ryan’s power foods happen to be Japanese, which fits in perfectly with his role as a ninja!

“Anything Japanese – ramen, rice, curry, rice balls, miso soup, and did I mention rice?”

Ryan was born in Oregon, but he was actually raised in Japan until he was 7! He’s also fluent in Japanese and has been studying kung fu since the age of 8.

The cast has loved working on Supah Ninjas, not only because of the cool opportunity to be ninjas, but because they’ve learned so much along the way.

Gracie remembers struggling on set, and hearing a line from the show that has stuck with her in real life.

“Your dedication is most impressive,” says George Takei‘s character, playfully called “Hologramps.” “But the road to perfection has no destination.”

“I was really nervous about not always being perfect on set and I had to learn to embrace my flaws and that everyone makes mistakes,” Gracie said.

Ryan Potter has learned some life lessons on the set, too.

“Study hard,” Ryan said. ”Be a good friend. Don’t tease and bully people because that makes you a villain, not a ninja.”

The young cast have also had the great luck of working with seasoned actor, George Takei. Gracie was especially thankful.

She said that one of the top perks of being a Supah Ninja was “Having a mentor like George Takei, both onscreen and off. He teaches us so much by example and you can’t help but smile when you have a conversation with him.”

You could definitely learn a lot by taking a note from their book!

A Victoria Justice Birthday Interview!

A very happy birthday to the beautiful and talented Victoria Justice, who turns 20 today!

Sweety High interviewed her recently on the set of Victorious as it was filming its final season, and got to ask her a few questions about herself!

Victoria is probably known best for her work on Nickelodeon in shows including True Jackson, iCarly, and of course, Victorious. On the set of Victorious, however, Victoria was known for her outgoing and talkative nature!

Victoria was the go-to gal “For good conversation,” she said. “You know, I love talking to people.”

Her nickname on the set, however, had more to do with one of her favorite beverages. She earned the title “Coco Tigress,” due to her fondness for coconut water!

In our interview, Victoria also proved she’s the type of girl who takes initiative. If she was locked inside a mall, Victoria says she, “would try all the doors.” Doesn’t sound like she’d like to be trapped there all night!

“Logically the first thing you would do is to try to get out,” she explained, before asking “Is the food court open?” Sounds like Victoria has her priorities in check!

Happy birthday, girl! We hope to interview you again soon!
