  Chelsea Staub Launches Fundraiser - "Harmonies for Haiti"

  Things couldn't be much more hectic for beautiful blond "Jonas" leading lady Chelsea Staub, who has taken it upon herself to organize a fundraising concert for Haiti relief, "Harmonies for Haiti." She started off planning the event for a club in the 'burbs, but it's grown bigger.
  

  
  "Originally, I got the idea while I was sitting watching CNN like the rest of the world, wearing my sweatpants, eating a Popsicle. I thought, 'Wait -- I have connections in the industry; why don't I do something with this life that I've been given?'" she recalls. "Then I got on the computer and connected with some fans and asked, 'Hey, want to put on a free show and raise money for Haiti?' And it kind of snowballed into this event. I'm so excited and humbled by it. Then it really turned into the work part, figuring out which venue, handling ticket sales. I've kind of taken on the role of concert promoter."
  
  The actress admits there've been times she's felt overwhelmed, "being 21 and never having done anything like this." That feeling hit her when she was talking seriously with two Sunset Strip nighteries about using their premises for the event Friday (2/5) -- the House of Blues and The Roxy. "I'd thought of maybe getting a couple of hundred kids in the audience, and all of the sudden, I was talking to a venue that holds 1,400 people. They've been very cool," adds Staub. She is keeping fans updated about the who, what, where and when via Twitter and her www.chelseastaub.com website.
  
  Meanwhile, Staub has been having a blast recording her forthcoming animated "Fish Hooks" series, in which she plays an excitable goldfish named Bea. She's about to begin shooting the second season of "Jonas" with Kevin, Joe and Nick. And she has the Disney Channel Original Movie "Starstruck" debuting Feb. 14. It has Sterling Knight of "Sonny With a Chance" as a pop star who falls for an everyday high school girl (Danielle Campbell). Staub plays a glamour girl who is "kind of a young Hollywood stereotype, very famous, thinks she's pretty awesome, goes to all the clubs, wants to have her picture taken and be seen with the hottest guys. She's not a very deep person."
