We're all looking forward to the 2013 Video Music Awards, and former VMAs host Russell Brand is looking forward to seeing his friend, TV host Oliver Trevena, skydive for a cause.

The comedic bloke Tweeted:

The fact that Oliver's going to be skydiving is making quite a celebrity trend on Twitter. Lance Bass also shared the news:

So did "The Carrie Diaries" star Austin Butler:

August 18 will be the third annual 18for18 Sky Dive, which is put on by the Somaly Mam Foundation. Like mtvU's Against Our Will campaign, the Somaly Mam Foundation is dedicated to stopping human trafficking. It was started by a human trafficking survivor and has celebrity support from the likes of Shay Mitchell and AnnaLynne McCord.

The celebrities taking part in this event will be skydiving from 18,000 feet in the air . . . and they're hoping to raise $18,000 while doing it. Oliver has his own page set up where you can fund him, and you can also fund other stars involved with the project. Writing about it, Oliver said, "As if last year didn't scare the S#*T! out of me enough - I'm doing it all again this year! Jumping out of a plane from 18,000ft to raise awareness and funds." So apparently he doesn't like heights . . . but he does like helping others, and that's def something to admire! You can see why Russell, Lance, Austin and others on Twitter are cheering him on.
