I Haiti Earthquakes


Nobody else comes together for a cause quite like the US. More than $5,000,000 dollars had been raised for the disaster in Haiti just through TEXT MESSAGES! Stars across the country like Larry King, George Clooney, and one of Kentucky's newsest and most bragged about icons, John Calapari have organized telathons that have swept in millions more. Wyclef Jean, a Haiti native, has also brought in more than a million dollars through his Twitter account.

Soon CDs will hit featuring the likes of Dave Matthews Band, Slash, Peter Gabriel called Download to Donate to Haiti. Lady Gaga will also donate all of her ticket sales from her next show plus all of her merchandise sales to the relief efforts.

Don't miss George Clooney's telethon this Friday on MTV. Artists such as Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Stevie Wonder, Wyclef Jean, Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Christina Aguilera, Dave Matthews, John Legend, Justin Timberlake, Bruce Springsteen, The Edge, Sting, Rhianna, Keith Urban, Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow will all make appearances on the show. Their performances will also be available on iTunes where every penny of each song downloaded will go to "Hope For Haiti Now" charities.

Mad props to all the celebrities that choose to do good with the fame and fourtune that they have inherited.

Just a reminder that if you text "HAITI" to 90999, $10 will automatically be added to your cell phone bill, which in turn will add to the millions raised by The Red Cross.
