Behind The Scenes At The Do Something! Awards [Photos]

One of the best parts about the Do Something! Awards was seeing just how many people participated in an event that raised awareness of so many wonderful causes. And yes, the celebrity guest list was insane, but there were plenty of people working behind the scenes to make sure everything went off without a hitch, from the rolling out of the blue carpet, to the rehearsals, to the reporters covering the show, it took a village to pull this show off.

And since we at VH1 had a lot of our villagers working backstage at the event, we have some pretty awesome photos from before, during, and after the show that you won’t see anywhere else. In our gallery below, check out rehearsals featuring Foster the People, blue carpet moments with Demi Lovato and Kim Kardashian, and Jane Lynch hamming it up next to…Jane Lynch.

The 2011 Do Something! Awards are scheduled to air on Thursday, August 18 at 9 p.m. ET., and since we’ve already shared the list of outstanding nominees with you, we figured it was time to let you know the exciting list of performers that host Jane Lynch will be sharing the stage with. We are psyched to announce that Demi Lovato, You Oughta Know artist Foster The People, and OneRepublic featuring B.o.B will be dazzling viewers with their musical performances that night. We’ve got more info for you below, via a press release that just hit the wires…

DEMI LOVATO, FOSTER THE PEOPLE AND ONEREPUBLIC WITH B.O.B TO PERFORM AT THE 2011 DO SOMETHING AWARDS

Hosted by Jane Lynch the Awards will Air on VH1 Thursday, August 18th

NEW YORK, NY (July XX, 2011) —DoSomething.org and VH1 announced today that Demi Lovato, OneRepublic with B.O.B. and Foster the People will perform as part of the star-studded 2011 Do Something Awards. Hosted by Glee star Jane Lynch, the ceremony will honor and celebrate the nation’s best young world-changers who represent the pivotal “do-ers” in their field, cause or issue. 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. Many will be on hand to accept and present the awards at the show which will air Thursday, August 18, 2011 at 9 p.m. EST on VH1.

The show will mark the first time Demi Lovato will perform her hit single “Skyscraper” live. Her fans played a big part in making this performance happen by enthusiastically tweeting the word “Skyscraper” to @DoSomething multiple times over the last month. Lovato is also nominated for two awards in the Do Something Charity Song and Do Something TV Star categories.

“If you are expecting anything less than ‘wow,’ you’ve got the wrong award show. We are so psyched to have Demi’s first public performance, a hot break-out band like Foster the People, and expect OneRepublic with B.o.B to be very loud!” said Nancy Lublin, CEO and Chief Old Person of DoSomething.org.

Jane Lynch Gets Excited For The “Do Someone” Awards

The 2011 Do Something! Awards are right around the corner, but host Jane Lynch seems to be a bit confused these days about exactly what show it is she’s hosting.

Don’t forget, there’s still plenty of time to vote for the 2011 Do Something Awards, which will air on VH1 on August 18 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. As an added incentive to vote, we’ve got another brand new Jane Lynch promo to share with you below. This time, it involves Jane and a treadmill. We think you can guess where this one is heading.
