Cute couple Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are two of the latest celebs to reach out in the efforts to help Haiti after the Caribbean country's devastating earthquake.

Zac and Vanessa will be two of the guests taking part in George Lopez's benefit concert, "Help Haiti." The show will take place on February 4 at Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE.

"The people of Haiti need our help," George wrote on his website. "The best musicians, comedians and athletes will be there for the cause, including my friends Andy Garcia, Slash and Samuel Jackson."

All of the proceeds will go directly to Haiti, the victims, and their families. More information on the concert and how to contribute to the cause even if you live outside of the L.A. area can be found on George's website.

Hey J-14ers!

Can you believe it? The holidays are right around the corner and just in time: A Very Special Christmas: Volume 7 -- featuring all my favorite artists is coming out November 23! Miley Cyrus, Vanessa Hudgens, Mitchel Musso, Ashley Tisdale, Carrie Underwood, Kellie Pickler, Sean Kingston, Kristina DeBarge, Colbie Caillat, Leighton Meester, Gloriana, and more make the all-star line up for this compilation of holiday songs. And they don't disappoint!

These definitely aren't your typical Christmas carols, but they'll still totally get you into the holiday spirit and have you singing along! I was excited to hear some of my absolute favorite artists on there like Leighton Meester, Kellie Pickler, and Carrie Underwood! One of the highlights is Colbie Caillat's "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas." Colbie's unique vocals give the song a much needed face-lift, but still hold onto the tune's charm. Miley sings one of my favorite Christmas songs, "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," with a full blast of energy. I would expect no less from her! Sean Kingston's version of "The Little Drummer Boy" mixes up the classic with fun beats and reggae fusion. I also am lovin' Leighton Meester's "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)!" The Gossip girl is my pick for new artist to keep an eye on in the new year. And last but not least, Ashley Tisdale's vocals are perfect for the fun holiday song "Last Christmas!"

You know how giving is better than receiving this time of year? Bonus: proceeds from the album benefit The Special Olympics! Since the first Very Special Christmas compilation back in 1987, these Xmas albums have raised more than $100 million for the organization. Talk about Christmas cheer! If you're feeling especially generous this season, this CD is a perfect treat for a friend and yourself ;)! Check out www.veryspecialchristmas.com, help this great cause, and I'll see you rockin' around the Christmas tree this year!

Your J-14 intern,
<3 Nicole

Artist on Artist Interview with Vanessa Hudgens and Aly Michalka

The new promo for Bandslam, starring Vanessa Hudgens, Aly Michalka, and Gaelan Connell, promises an "exclusive look at New Moon" before the flick -- sounds like a win-win!

Chace Crawford finally has a new leading lady! Country singer and Dancing With The Stars' alum Julianne Hough reportedly beat out Hayden Panettiere for the chance to star in the remake of Footloose along side the Gossip Girl hottie. Rumors flew that Hairspray's Amanda Bynes and Miley Cyrus were also being considered for the role at one point. But there is one small catch to the exciting news -- Julianne will only be in the movie if her schedule permits.

Chace jumped at the chance to play Ren McCormack (played by Kevin Bacon in the 1984 original) after Zac Efron dropped out of the flick in March. And with HSM's Kenny Ortega directing the flick, Chace is already learning exactly how Zac and Vanessa Hudgens felt after all their dance routines! "I've started prep for [Footloose, and I'm extremely sore... It's really intense," Chace explains. "We're getting the gymnastics and doing some workouts. I'm learning some basic moves. I've got a little rhythm. I'm realizing everyday how much of all the nine months [of prep] I'm going to need."

Footloose is expected to hit theaters in June 2010. Tell us -- have you seen the original Footloose? Are you excited for the remake? How do you think Chace will do once he straps on those dancing shoes?

Vanessa Hudgens and Mary-Kate Olsen will begin filming the flick Beastly in Montreal next week. (Vanessa is already up in Canada.) The movie is like a modern-day tale of Beauty and the Beast -- it's about a popular guy (played by Alex Pettyfer) who ditches his date. But little did he know, his date is really a witch! In return for being ditched, she curses him to become everything he hates, and he can only break the spell by finding true love!

Will you go see a Mary-Kate and Vanessa movie?

This Sunday, the MTV Movie Awards will be live (and we'll be blogging as the stars walk down the carpet and accept their awards!) and the category we're buzzing about in the J-14 office is definitely "Best Kiss!"
We're split between Zac and Vanessa (as Troy and Gabriella) in High School Musical 3 and Rob and Kristen (as Edward and Bella, of course!) from Twilight. Who do you guys think have the best kiss?

The BEST "Best Kiss" moment from MTV Movie Awards past is definitely the Rachel McAdams/Ryan Gossling Notebook smooch from 2005 -- we still watch it (video below) and get butterflies! We know the Twilight cast will be there to show a clip of New Moon, do you think if Rob and Kristen win they'll reenact? We hope so!

So who do you think is the better kisser Rob or Zac/Edward or Troy? Did you vote for your fave movies and stars? Are you tuning in on Sunday?

Don't forget to follow us on Twitter and here on J14.com live-blogging the event Sunday night !
