Stars Unite To Help Hope For Haiti Now Telethon
Stars Unite To Help Hope For Haiti Now Telethon – After a heartbreaking week for Haiti, which resulted to countless death and massive devastation following the January 12 earthquake. Some of our popular screen actors and music legends joined forces in a telethon for Haitian victims called “Hope For Haiti Now.”
The list of participating celebrities who manned phone calls and connected with the 2-hour telethon: Justin Timberlake, Brad Pitt, former President Clinton, Muhammad Ali, Beyonce, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Halle Berry, and many more. Luminaries like Steven Spielberg worked the phone banks, talking to donors.
“Enough of this moping, man, let’s rebuild Haiti, let’s show ‘em how we do it where we come from!” singer-producer Wyclef Jean, shouted after singing the downbeat “Rivers of Babylon,” with a Haitian flag around his neck.
Performances from Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Shakira, Bruce Springsteen, Keith Urban, Justine Timberlake, Madonna and more.
Most anticipated collaborations from U2’s Bono and The Edge and Rihanna with Jay-Z. But one of the most-surprising trios included unlikely harmonizers Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, and Kid Rock. Their moving rendition of “Lean on Me” managed to combine both country and rock to reach out to a wide music audience demographic.
The telethon, shown on all the major US networks and streamed live on many Web sites, was quickly put together by George Clooney and MTV Networks, along with the help of others, to raise millions of dollars for the Caribbean country.
