James Franco Named Grand Marshal for 55th Annual Daytona 500

jamesfranco-oz-020813The great Oz is heading to the race track!

James Franco, who stars in Oz the Great and Powerful, will serve as Grand Marshal for the 55th Annual Daytona 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race on Sunday, Feb. 24 at Daytona International Speedway.

Franco will give the starting command, “Drivers start your engines,” in “The Great American Race.” He’ll also be introduced at the driver’s meeting, participate in pre-race ceremonies and ride in one of the Grand Marshal cars during the pace laps prior to the green flag of the 200-lap, 500-mile race.

“We’re excited to welcome James Franco and have him take part in the pre-race festivities for the Daytona 500,” Daytona International Speedway President Joie Chitwood III said. “In front of thousands of race fans and millions more watching on FOX, we’re looking forward to hearing James’ enthusiastic starting command to kick off the Daytona 500 and the new NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season.”

You can catch James on the big screen in Oz The Great and Powerful when it hits theaters March 8, 2013. The film is directed by Sam Raimi and imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved wizard character.

When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone’s been expecting.
Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great wizard but into a better man as well.

Franco joins the prestigious list of previous Daytona 500 Grand Marshals including John Travolta, Ben Affleck, Nicolas Cage, Kate Upton, Jane Lynch and Matthew McConaughey.

Tickets for the 55th Daytona 500 on Sunday, Feb. 24, as well as all Budweiser Speedweeks At Daytona events, are available online at www.daytonainternationalspeedway.com or by calling 1-800-PITSHOP.

Jonas Brothers Launch We Day in Minneapolis

jonasbrothers-weday-020613600 students at Patrick Henry High School in Minnesota were in for a treat today! They got a visit from the Jonas Brothers!

Kevin, Nick, and Joe visited the school to help launch Free the Children’s “We Day” program. We Day is an initiative of Free The Children, an international charity and educational partner that works with schools to implement the We Act program. “We Day” is a movement to get kids involved in volunteering and social change.

“We’ve been involved since our first We Day performance in 2009 in Toronto, and the memory of the energy the 18,000 youth who came to that stadium is still with us today,” said Joe. “What we remember most is that the kids were just as excited to see the bands as they were to see world leaders and activists—that’s not something you see every day.”

The Jonas Brothers will be playing a special concert for the program and the only way a student can go is to earn it through volunteering. Kids need to do one act of local and global service this year to earn one of the 18,000 seats in the concert.

Kevin Jonas tweeted after the event, “Had a great time at the #WeDay #MN launch event today with @FreeTheChildren!”

Demi Lovato Opens Up in ‘Cosmo on Campus’

demilovato-cosmocampus-020613Demi Lovato looks beautiful on the cover of Cosmo on Campus, a spin-off of Cosmo in the UK.

In the issue, Demi opens up, via E!, the magazine about her eating disorder and how she is doing now. “I was about 12 or 13 when I developed my eating disorder, and at that time nobody in the public eye talked about their body issues,” Demi shared.

“I feel that if someone had admitted they had a problem, then I wouldn’t have gone down that route myself,” she continued. “That’s my goal in talking about my problems: I want to be the person for other girls that I needed to admire when I was looking for help and strength.”

One of the big ways Demi overcame her struggles was by learning to accept herself. “It’s OK to love your body the way it is and it’s OK to reach out for help if you have drug and alcohol problems, or if you’re self-harming or being bullied.”

Demi is in a better place now and shared that she is “where I can finally trust and love and be a better person for the man I am in a relationship with, instead of being a clingy girlfriend or getting jealous.”

For more, go here. We’re also wishing Demi a speedy recovery after she broke her leg a few weeks ago.
