New Girl’s Zooey Deschanel has become the latest celebrity to support the Kony 2012 campaign.

Justin Bieber, Rihanna and Taylor Swift have previously backed Invisible Children’s efforts to have Ugandan guerrilla leader Joseph Kony arrested for allegedly kidnapping children and forcing them into his army.

Deschanel took to Twitter on Monday (March 12) to endorse a Kony 2012 fundraiser that has been established by motivational speaker Tony Robbins.

“Donate to this fundraiser and every $ you donate will be matched up to 50k,” the New Girl star urged in a tweet.

Human rights activist Angelina Jolie also spoke about Kony 2012 at a New York City event, saying she doesn’t “know anyone who doesn’t hate Kony”.

“He’s an extraordinarily horrible human being who, you know… his time has come and it’s lovely to see that young people are raising up as well,” Jolie declared.

Jason Russell – the filmmaker who kick-started the Kony 2012 campaign with his 30-minute documentary – has defended his film’s credibility by saying that it’s helped the world become aware of a humanitarian crisis.

Russell’s film has attracted more than 70m views around the globe.

“Hey girl! Whatcha doin’?” “New Girl” has one of my favorite theme songs on TV right now, and when they released the full song with a choose-your-own-adventure-style music video, I was over the moon.

But what do the cast and producers consider their own personal theme songs? Everyone’s got one. (Full disclosure: Mine is “Break My Stride” by Matthew Wilder. Don’t judge.)

I asked stars Zooey Deschanel (who is responsible for the show’s catchy theme), Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield and Lamorne Morris, creator Liz Meriwether and executive producers Brett Baer and Dave Finkel to share theirs.

Zooey Deschanel, Jess: “Well, I wrote that song, so I’m glad you like it. But my theme song? ‘She’s Got It’ [by Bananarama]! No, I’m kidding. [Sings] ‘She’s got it!’”

Max Greenfield, Schmidt: “‘Sussudio’ by Phil Collins. There’s something about that song, when it comes on I go, ‘Yeah, this is me. This is where I’m at today.’ Either that or any Huey Lewis song on ‘Sports’ — just from the ‘Sports’ album. ‘Power of Love’? Awesome.”

Jake Johnson, Nick: “The theme song to ‘Welcome Back, Kotter.’ [Laughs.] Just come on back, Jake. I’m in the shower, in total universal weirdness … just come back. That’s my theme song.”

Lamorne Morris, Winston: “My own personal theme song would probably have to be ‘Pumps and a Bump’ by MC Hammer. No … I’d say ‘Boogie In Your Butt’ by Eddie Murphy. I love that song. Oh man, that song is great. If I had like a personal guy behind me with a boombox, ‘Boogie In Your Butt’ would always be playing. And I’d be walking in slow motion.”

Liz Meriwether, Creator/EP: “I had this temp receptionist job in New York, and I kind of hated it, and in the morning I would come out of the subway and just walk along the New York streets with all these people around me and kind of sing to myself. Like, ‘She’s gonna make it!’ [Laughs.] So that’s where that whole ["New Girl" theme song] thing came from.”

Brett Baer, EP: “Mine actually is ‘Hey Girl, Whatcha Doin’?’ [Laughs.]”

Dave Finkel, EP: “Mine’s just a series of grumblings and failures … just sadness and crying.”

veropadilla34: please any more scoop/spoilers on Nick and Jess?
Don’t hold your breath for New Girl’s über-cute Nick (Jake Johnson) and Jess (Zooey Deschanel) to realize their feelings for each other and get married in the gang’s loft anytime soon. (Sigh, we can only hope, right?!) Jess is going to have her hands full with multiple men…including Paul! Yes, Justin Long is coming back, y’all! After a breakup, Jess finds herself back in bed with her fellow teacher…who happens to be dating someone else who is very similar to Jess. Too adorable or too awkward? You decide!

“New Girl” has had some amazing guest stars in its first season — from Justin Long to “Party Down” alum Lizzy Caplan to “True Blood” star Ryan Kwanten — and there are still some big names yet to come, including Dermot Mulroney and Jeanne Tripplehorn.

But who would the cast love to see come play their new love interests? Yes, we all want to see the shameful Cece (Hannah Simone) and Schmidt (Max Greenfield) hookups continue, and we strongly believe that Nick (Jake Johnson) and Jess (Zooey Deschanel) are meant to be together, but we also want this show to be on the air for a long time. So to do that and still keep things fresh, they all need some love from sexy guest stars!

From Oprah Winfrey and Johnny Depp to Kristen Bell (“We love the idea of a ‘Veronica Mars’ reunion!”), here’s who the “New Girl” stars would love to romance onscreen next.

Zooey Deschanel, Jess:
“Johnny Depp! Or Ewan McGregor. I mean … or both.”

Max Greenfield, Schmidt:
“I’m friends with Kristen Bell and it’d be fun to have like a ‘Veronica Mars’ thing, to have her come on. I love Christina Hendricks. Oh, or how about Lena Dunham? I love my Lena Dunham! Watch ‘Girls’ in April! Oh my god, my [Gwyneth] Paltrow, too … go to GOOP! [Laughs.] There’s too many, I don’t know.”

Jake Johnson, Nick:
“I’m drawing an absolute blank. I got nothing. Gimme some hints! Who do you think would be a great love interest? Heidi Klum? Yes, Heidi Klum is the answer.”

Lamorne Morris, Winston:
“Oh, Meagan Good. Meagan Good! I love her. She’s a little busy now, but not busy enough … come over here to ‘New Girl,’ man. The weather’s fine over here. Hmm … or Oprah. If I could get Oprah on the show as my love interest … [Laughs.] Winston starts to date a younger woman!”
