Many teenagers are focused on what they'll get this year during the holidays. But since Cody Simpson is successful enough to have that covered, instead he's looking to see how much he can give.

In an interview with Hollywire's Chelsea Briggs, Cody explains that his 2012 resolution was to be more charitable, and he's certainly accomplished that. Watch the video and then look after the jump to see how you can join Cody in helping those less fortunate this holiday season!

When Sean Kingston says he died and came back to life, he isn't kidding.

The singer-rapper is best known for his 2007 smash Beautiful Girls, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, but his world turned upside down in May 2011 after a jet skiing accident forced him to undergo open heart surgery. Now fully recovered, he spoke with Hollywire's own Chelsea Briggs at the American Music Awards about his third studio album Back 2 Life, which features the new single Rum and Raybans with Cher Lloyd. "I had to do open heart surgery for my accident and nearly died. So I came back to life and was given a second chance," said Sean.
