"Imagine having lunch with Ashlee Simpson, Fall Out Boy, the Jonas Brothers, Jordin Sparks, and Raven-Symon\u00E9...yup, all at the same time! No, that wasn&amp;#039;t some crazy dream I had last night-- believe it or not, it actually happened last Tuesday at our annual CosmoGIRL! Born to Lead luncheon! And the coolest part was that it wasn&amp;#039;t about just inviting our favorite stars over for lunch, each and every one of them was honored for doing something to help out their community and make a difference in the world. (Check out our Dec07/Jan08 issue and these videos to find out what each of them has done this year!) But of course, part of the fun was having all these superstars at our luncheon... and here&amp;#039;s just a few tidbits of what happened behind-the-scenes...  1-The Jonas Brothers sure know how to make an entrance! The Jonas Brothers are in the middle of their sold-out tour with Miley Cyrus, but they still found time to attend our luncheon. How? After playing in Texas the night before, they hopped on the first flight available. The problem? It got in literally minutes before the lunch started. But that didn&amp;#039;t stop the boys! They hopped on a helicopter from the airport and got here just in the nick (jonas- hee!) of time! PLUS: They got ready for the event on the way... and looked so hot even gossip guru critic Perez Hilton posted kudos on their outfits! Imagine what he&amp;#039;d say if he found out they got ready on a helicopter and car in 10 minutes! 2-Raven&amp;#039;s a Fall Out Boy fan too! Raven was the perfect mistress of ceremony for our event, but even a poised celeb like her still can be a fan, just like you! And she wasn&amp;#039;t ashamed to admit her love for Fall Out Boy when she introduced them to the stage. It definitely was no act... the minute the presentation ended, Raven ran over to Fall Out Boy&amp;#039;s table and said, &amp;quot;I just have to say hello!&amp;quot; Awww!!! 3-Ashlee&amp;#039;s still daddy&amp;#039;s little girl--and proud of it! Ashlee may have hit records, a skyrocketing career, and an adorable BF who was also in the same room, but still saved the seat next to her for her dad, Joe Simpson! Who said family doesn&amp;#039;t come first?! And Papa Joe seemed to enjoy the event just as much! We spotted him chasing down and chatting up the Jonas Brothers! :) 4-This ain&amp;#039;t a scene, it&amp;#039;s just Fall Out Boy! Wherever Fall Out Boy goes, they draw attention! And this time, we mean literally. The guys came with an entire crew in tow for a documentary they&amp;#039;re filming! (Can&amp;#039;t wait!) And all four guys sat side-by-side at the event. Yup, even Pete left Ashlee&amp;#039;s side to be with his bandmates.. awww, talk about band bonding! 5-Jordin Sparks sure knows how to make friends! By far the most down-to-earth celeb you&amp;#039;ll ever meet is American Idol, Jordin Sparks! This girl has got energy bursting out of that megawatt smile with every word she says... and we saw her striking up a conversation with the Jonas Brothers right after the event. In fact, all of the celebs took the time to go say hello to each other. Who ever said celebs are stuck up?! None of that at all at the CG! Born to Lead luncheon! 6-Joe Jonas is a trip--literally! In the midst of receiving his award on stage, Joe Jonas fell! Yikes! But before the audience had a chance to gasp, Joe stepped up to the mic and said &amp;quot;And now, for my next trick...&amp;quot; Talk about a quick and clever recovery! In fact, even Ashlee Simpson was so impressed with his quick wit, that when she talked about getting over some of the challenges in her career, she gave kudos to Joe for being so fast on his feet (literally!).  And...those are just some of the tiny tidbits from our mega event! I was lucky enough to hang out with Raven and the Jonas Brothers and can tell you first-hand that they truly are some of the coolest people you&amp;#039;ll ever meet. Not just that, when I went to the helipad to meet the boys getting off their helicopter (and yes, it was as cool to see as it sounds!), the first thing I noticed was that even the people around them (including some all-stars you know from Britney Spears&amp;#039;s old team!) are the friendliest, nicest people around. No wonder everyone&amp;#039;s craving more Bonus Jonas time! :) That&amp;#039;s it for now...take a look at our Born to Lead videos and let us know what you think! And let us know which of these stars (or any stars!) you would love to share lunch with! Can&amp;#039;t wait to hear from you!
