2011 Do Something Award Presenters Are…

They finally have released the presenters for the 2011 Do Something Awards. The likes of Keke Palmer, Victoria Justice, Nick Cannon and Adam Lambert are lined up as presenters. While the show takes place on August 18th, only now have they released the presenters for the show. You will find the full press release at the bottom of this post.

Nick Cannon is a surprising choice, but it will be also his first big appearance since the twins arrived. Of course, he
also has America’s Got Talent which is not the same as being a presenter. He will be joined by other stars who will also present, are nominees or lined up to perform.

It sounds like they do not have many presenters this year. I am not sure why, but it sounds like this year’s show will
be drastically different from previous year’s. I am not sure why that would be their goal, but it was. I just hope that
this year’s show will not disappoint those who want to watch it. I know that I am concerned that this year’s show will
be lackluster just based on what we hear. At least Demi Lovato will keep it lively with her performance. Let’s hope she
can save the whole show if needed. What do you think about the list of presenters for this year’s show?

NEW YORK, NY (August 3, 2011) —;DoSomething.org and VH1 today announced the all-star lineup of presenters including Kristen Bell, Nick Cannon, Jon Cryer, Victoria Justice, Adam Lambert, Mario Lopez, Rose McGowan, Olivia Munn, Keke Palmer and Lauren Potter for this year’s 2011 Do Something Awards airing Thursday, August 18, 2011 at 9:00pm EST on VH1.

Celebrities such as Lady GaGa, Justin Bieber, Prince William and Duchess Catherine, David Beckham, Scarlett Johansson, Russell Brand and Will Ferrell have been nominated in
a variety of categories from ‘Do Something Movie Star’ to ‘Do Something Couple’ for all they have done to inspire young
people.

Presenter Adam Lambert is also nominated for the “Do Something Music Artist” category and he has his fans to thank for
the big role in this nomination. Thousands of “Glamberts” tweeted their support to @DoSomething in order to secure his
position in this category. Other artists up for the same award include Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Nick Jonas, Linkin Park and The Black Eyed Peas.

“If I didn’t have to be at the show already, you could probably find me trying to sell my left arm for a ticket,” said Nancy Lublin, CEO and Chief Old Person of DoSomething.org. “Not only do we have some of today’s hottest stars nominated, there are a ton of celebrities planning on attending to soak up the good vibes.”; In addition to a night of celebrities and performances by Demi Lovato, Foster the People and OneRepublic with B.o.B, one
young “do-er” (age 25 and under) will receive a grand prize of $100,000 for their cause. This is the largest and most
prestigious prize in the world for young people and social change.

Nominees include Taryn Guerrero Davis for The American Widow Project, David Schwartz for The Real Food Challenge, Sarah Cronk for The Sparkle Effect, Mark Kabban for YALLA (Youth And Leaders Living Actively) and Adam Lowy for Move for Hunger.
