Stars Align For Haiti Telethon

 

Last night's TV lineup was notable for two reasons: Conan's last show, and far more significantly, the Hope For Haiti Now Telethon for earthquake relief funds.

The mood was subdued, yet the underlying force of A-list stars was a force to be reckoned with. No one was more instrumental in this than George Clooney.

The actor spent a week pulling together the two-hour Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief, and donated $1 million of his own money.

Anderson Cooper's dispatches from the earthquake-torn nation and Wyclef Jean's closing message of hope for his fellow Haitians were particularly moving.

You don't often see phone banks manned by the likes of Charlize Theron, Mel Gibson, Julia Roberts, Steven Spielberg, Reese Witherspoon, Cindy Crawford, Ben Affleck, Sigourney Weaver, Ringo Starr and Jack Nicholson - to name a select few.

Did we mention Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Simmons, Zac Efron, Billy Crystal, Gerard Butler, Neil Patrick Harris, LL Cool J and Selena Gomez were also there?

We could go on for hours about this event, which raised tens of millions for a good cause. Click to enlarge some images from our Hope For Haiti Now album:

    Nature has this really cool thing called EVOLUTION- it weeds out the lesser, stupider, slower, non-evolving beings to strengthen the species, and make each generation better.

    the problem is, that bleeding heart Liberals keeps propping up these sub-humans, allowing them to water down society as a whole. back off on the aid, the throwing away of our money, supplies, and support of these "nere-do-wells" and just let nature take it's course and send them back into the dust. Period!
    OR just NUKE Haiti, and let it be done. Haitians are all worthless savages, sub-human filth, and have desecrated and stripped Haiti of ALL natural resources, as well as it's once-earned fame as a tropical paradise.

    The best thing we cvan do for these 'people' is leave them alone to deal with their own mess. Like a spoiled child who has had everything done for them, Haiti needs to grow up some time and behave like a responsible adult. Now is as good a time as any. Haiti needs to learn to stand on it's own two feet and stop being a drain on the rest of the world. Those blacks killed an awful lot of White people to take that country, now that they have it the least they can do is take care of it. I'm tired of hearing these 'people' whine as they stand waist deep in their own filth, not doing a damned thing for themselves.

    This story can be spun out a number of ways, first it was suspicious, then it was suspected, then its a bomb, and now its 17mins from explosion. What next I wonder? The media take people for being daft but they don't realise how many have woken up to all this spin garbage that gets thrown about for political gain.

    does it not matter to people that the mastermind of this and other attacks, awlaki met and dined with pentagon chiefs? does that not seem odd? this was only reported a few weeks ago, go look it up.
    in other words this is yet another hoax designed to keep us in fear and bowing down to the government to keep us safe! oldest trick in the book and yet we fall for it everytime!!

    Where to Start !
    I would just like to clarify a few points that It appears have not been properly thought about with the writing of this article.
    Firstly, Mobile phones only send out a very low energy signal. This helps maintain their small size and of course there battery longevity. Mobile te

    chimpout dot c0m has a whole section devoted to facts about HATEY. The only thing wrong with the country is the savages that live there.

  8. Chuck Spears

    One year later and all the niigers in HATEY are still sitting in puddles of their own sh1t waiting for Whitey to rebuild everything.
    The Welfare Race wins again!

    Inspite of the hundreds of millions of dollars and all the handouts, only 5% of the debris is cleared- by foreigners! Look at China, after their 'big one', they got to work on cleaning up right away. Cholera shouldn't be an epidemic there, because anyone with half a brain would boil their water- duh! I don't care how poor you are, staying clean doesn't cost a thing. We should rename Haiti the Republic of Gibs-Me-Dat.

  10. Missing Parts

    Almost a year and these "people" still need "gibs me"??? sitting on their duffs waiting for someone else to rebuild, then the audacity to attack health workers...and now you clowns want mo' money, mo' money.
    Chile got beat with a Quake larger, what did they do? they all helped each other and recovered themselves.
    Why is it those of African persuasion are so helpless and needy, yet act like bigshots as the World worships them. Wasteful foolishness are 2 words fitting for this fiasco.
