F
ew things are dreamier
than having your fave
celebrity take you to
prom. There’s just one prob
­— making it a reality. However,
16-year-old Emily Torres recently
took the leap anyway and
asked her celeb crush,
singer Bruno Mars, to
be her date via a
YouTube video. And
guess what? It paid off!
“My family and friends
laughed at the idea at
first,” Em confesses
to M. ”One of my
friends even said they
didn’t think it’d get over
100 views! But, I’m an
aspiring singer, so I figured why
not go big, make up a song and invite
him to my dance?” And thanks to the
power of the internet, her catchy tune
(she changed up the lyrics to Bruno’s
“Locked Out of Heaven” to reflect
her prom wish) caught the attention
of Ellen DeGeneres, who basically
ended up being Emily’s real-life fairy
godmother! Yep, when the talk show
host saw Em’s vid, she decided to
help make her wish come true and
had Emily flown out to LA where
Bruno was set to perform on The
Ellen Show. “When we got there
I really was just expecting to sit in the
audience,” Em recalls to M. “Then,
halfway through, Ellen played my
video and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh!’”
Before she knew it, Bruno was on
stage replying to her prom invite!
“Sweet Emily, since I can’t come to
the prom with you, we brought the
prom here,” he said before
motioning for her to join him
on stage, adding, “I would
love to have a dance with
you!” Em couldn’t believe
what was happening to
her. “I was so shocked!
I wasn’t nervous, but I
was really giggly,” she
says about the experience.
”Bruno was great! He started
singing to me while we were
dancing and we just laughed.” Not
only did Bruno surprise Emily with a
special dance, he also had high-end
fashion designer Gucci hook her
up with a dress for prom (which we
exclusively revealed on M’s website)
and gave her four tickets to see him in
concert! “Bruno even got me roses
and kissed me on the cheek!” Em
gushes. ”He’s so romantic! That’s
just like his whole thing, you know?
It was like a dream. I’ll always be
known as Bruno’s prom girl and I’m
110% OK with that.” Too cute!
How a YouTube song changed Emily’s life!

The perfect
dance partner!
“We were
joking around
because Bruno
said he almost
fell coming
down the stairs!”
Em laughs.
Meeting Bruno!
“I kept a lot of the
rose petals and
brought them
home with me,”
Emily confesses.
Swoon alert!
“My friends
were freaking
out when they
saw me on TV
dancing with
Bruno!” Emily
spills to M.
Picture time!
Emily and her
fam flew from
Michigan to
California for
the taping.
“It was the
longest flight!”
Em dishes.
“Bruno’s
socute!
Iwaslike,
‘Whatjust
happened?’”

Stars’ Random
of kindness!
Your favorite
celebs know how
to make a
BIG difference
where it counts!
Giving back is always a
great feeling, just ask
Kevin Jonas and his wife
Danielle. The adorable
couple hosted a food drive
for City Harvest in New York
City and helped collect 600
pounds worth of canned
goods for families in the
area. “We always enjoy
giving back, anytime really,”
Kevin shares. “My brothers
and I, we do it a lot.”
Reaching out
”I show some heart
by making time
to spend with my
family!” Ross says.
Selfless spirit
”I show some heart
by supporting my
friends and the arts!”
Debby shares.
Bridgit shows off her school spirit
“I was so thrilled when Target asked
me to be part of it!” Bridgit says.
Niall Horan, Carly Rae Jepsen and Taylor Swift know that their autographs can
go for major bucks, so they each recently signed guitars to auction off to charity!
The girls raised funds for musicians in need, while Niall chose cancer support center
LARCC. “My first guitar went for 10,500 (euros),” he tweeted. “Wow. Can’t believe it!”
Musicians raise cash for charity!

Bridgit Mendler teams up with Target!
Whenever we see Bridgit Mendler she’s got a huge grin on her face, and recently the
Good Luck Charlie actress helped make a lot of kids across the country smile when she
teamed up with Target for their Give With Target campaign, which provided $2.5
million in grants to 100 in-need schools! “I love that there’s so much free giving through
the program!” B says. “There are no requirements on what the school has to spend the
money on, so students get to decide what their school really needs the cash for.” Awesome!
