What a wonderful story!!

Joe Jonas is more than just a pretty face, a delightful dancer, and an uber-talented musician — he's an inspirational human!!

The Disney graduate took his time, talents, and energy to Moore, Oklahoma today in an effort to help rebuild one of the towns hardest hit by Monday's terribly devastating tornadoes.

He and the Jonas Brothers' founded charitable organization, Convoy of Hope, will assist in debris removal and supply distribution throughout the affected areas!

What a genuinely caring dude!!

It's always encouraging when A-list celebs give back, especially in the wake of an unforeseen natural disaster.

Hopefully Joe's efforts inspire others to act similarly!

We can only hope the charity One Direction is donating tour proceeds to isn't filled with teen girls — we don't know if they could handle the excitement of both a donation AND it coming from 1D!

This is so fab of the lads!

They'll be giving part of their ticket sales to the Stand Up To Cancer organization, which we've talked about and supported in the past!

In fact, they're donating 77 cents from every seat sold on the U.K. and Ireland leg of their upcoming Where We Are tour, which kicks off next May, with the total expected to exceed $310,00 (£200,000)!!

Surviving on your own merit when your dad is the Snoop D-O-Double-G is probably no easy task!

That's why we're super pumped to hear that Snoop's son is doing extremely well, and Cordell Broadus has a ton of college options because of his OWN skills: he was just offered a full scholarship to Louisiana State University (LSU) and the University of Southern California (USC)!!

Here's what Cordell had to say about the USC offer:

After the Boy Scouts of American unveiled their momentous decision yesterday to allow openly gay boys in their group- a lot of people were getting a little choked up.

One person who definitely was feeling some love was an openly gay scout from Maryland named Pascal Tessier.

It's been a long road for this top notch boy scout, but he can finally be gay and proud!

Here's what he said:

"I was thinking that today could be my last day as a Boy Scout. Obviously, for gay Scouts like me, this vote is life-changing."

Yet Pascal also feels uneasy about the change in the rules of the game.

Carrie Underwood may have been Blown Away by a tornado made from special effects in the music video for her smash song of the same name, but when it comes to the real life consequences of such a devastating force a nature, she's wasted no time jumping right into action!

In the wake of the lost lives and mass destruction at the hands of the tornados that ravaged Oklahoma, the country superstar has followed in the footsteps of Kevin Durant, Blake Shelton and countless other heroes by donating $100 MILLION to the American Red Cross for relief efforts in her native state!

She says in a statement:

It's about time!!

After months of endless debate, the Boy Scouts of America finally voted to allow openly gay scouts to join their ranks!!
