VH1 and DoSomething.org Rank 'Top 20 Celebs Gone Good'

New Special with Exclusive Interviews Identifying Best Celebrity Do-Gooders
Premieres on VH1 on Thursday, November 19th at 8 PM*

NEW YORK, Oct. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Ever wonder who in Hollywood is pretending
to Go Green for the photo-op and who really means it? VH1 has tapped
DoSomething.org, the nation's largest not-for-profit for young people and
cause, to help separate the stars that really care from those who just like to
smile for the cameras in front of a cause-y logo.

By going to CelebsGoneGood.VH1.com or CelebsGoneGood.com, fans can vote for
their favorite star to help determine 2009's Top 20 Celebs Gone Good from a
list of 100 celebrities known for their charity work. Mega-stars of charity
like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will be up against big time activists like
Chris Rock and David Arquette as well as new-comers like Pete Wentz and The
Jonas Brothers.

"Top 20 Celebs Gone Good," premiering Thursday, November 19th at 8pm* on VH1,
will boast original interviews with the ranked celebrities, comedians and
cause-leaders.

"DoSomething.org has been running CelebsGoneGood.com as a fun blog about
celebrities and cause," says DoSomething.org CEO and Chief Old Person, Nancy
Lublin. "People really want to know what issues matter to their favorite
stars. These days, having a cause is as important as having a stylist."

"What we love about DoSomething.org and their CelebsGoneGood.com property is
that it's meaningful but still fun," says VH1 President Tom Calderone. "From
the VH1 Save The Music Foundation to VH1 Classic's 'Rock Autism' campaign,
we've got a long history of bringing fun into our successful pro-social
causes. We know that our viewers and our online visitors are going to enjoy
our partnership with DoSomething.org to salute celebrities gone good."

To vote and to see the full list of nominated celebrities, go to
CelebsGoneGood.VH1.com or CelebsGoneGood.com.
