A half god, half mortal. The son of a soldier in the Revolutionary War. The savior of a population of hoot owls. Logan Lerman’s characters have done it all. This young actor is taking over Hollywood with his killer roles in movies such as the highly anticipated “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightening Thief.”

Logan was born in 1992. He caught the acting bug at an early age. According to imdb.com, Logan told his mother that he wanted to be an actor after watching a Jackie Chan movie when he was two years old.

He was one of Mel Gibson’s children in “The Patriot,” which came out in 2000. Logan played minor characters in many more films until he got the leading role in “Hoot,” a film about three friends fighting to save the endangered hoot owls in Florida.

Most recently, Logan is taking on the role of Percy Jackson in “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightening Thief” alongside Pierce Brosman and Uma Thurman. Percy is your everyday teenager; that is, until he finds out he is the son of the Greek god Poseidon. Logan shines as Percy, and viewers and fans of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” series will not be disappointed.

But perhaps the most exciting news for fans of Logan is the rumor that he will take on the iconic role of Peter Parker as the next Spiderman. “It’s an iconic character and I’m hoping to be considered for the part. I’d be ready to put on 20 pounds of muscle. I’d have to drink a lot of protein shakes,” said Logan in a recent interview.

Logan Lerman’s adorable personality and killer smile are causing girls all over the country to swoon. If you’ve seen any of his films, you can’t help but fall head over heels for this new heartthrob.

Be sure to check out “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightening Thief” which arrives in theaters Friday, February 13th.

Hollywood’s most famous faces certainly stepped up after the earthquake in Haiti, donating money, organizing telethons and wearing ribbons to raise awareness. But it hasn’t stopped there. Celebrities are continuing the Help Haiti Effort and there is no end in sight.

The Hope for Haiti telethon raised almost 57 million dollars last week. The television special featured many young stars, such as Taylor Swift, Rob Pattinson, Selena Gomez and Ashley Tisdale.

At the Grammy Awards Sunday night, Wyclef Jean, a native of Haiti, made a stirring speech encouraging viewers to not forget about the Haitians, but enthusiastically proclaiming that they will overcome this tragedy and carry on with strength. Mary J. Blige and Andrea Bochelli performed a stunning rendition of “Bridge over Troubled Water,” which is available on ITunes. All the proceeds are being donated to the American Red Cross Haiti Relief and Development Fund.

“What Happens in Rome” star Josh Duhamel raised money for the American Red Cross by pulling together a two-mile “Youth Run 4 Haiti” January 23. He was joined by Gregg Sulkin, known recently for his werewolf character on “Wizards of Waverly Place,” Matt Kemp, from the LA Dodgers, and Matt Grant, from “The Bachelor: London Calling.”

But perhaps one of the most anticipated fundraisers is yet to come. A “We Are the World” remake is in talks, possibly featuring musicians such as Justin Timberlake, Usher, Alicia Keys and Fergie. The original “We are the World” came out in 1985 to raise money and awareness for the famine in Africa. Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie, who were both involved in the original, are planning this amazing remake. “”We’ll have three times as many people as we did the first time,” said Quincy Jones, a music icon.

The effort to raise money and help for Haiti isn’t close to being over. While there are still people in need, we will continue working for relief. Be sure to download the amazing rendition of “Bridge over Troubled Water” on ITunes. Look out for the “We are the World” remake, hopefully coming out soon.
