George Clooney Announces Haiti Telethon Stars
George Clooney has revealed some of the big names he has recruited for this Friday’s Telethon for Haiti.
The show will be broadcast around the world on January 22, and will be hosted by Clooney in LA, Wyclef Jean in New York, and CNN’s Anderson Cooper in Haiti. Donations will go to Oxfam America, Partners in Health, Red Cross, UNICEF and Wyclef’s Yéle Haiti Foundation.
The line-up so far includes U2’s Bono, Alicia Keys, Sting, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and many more yet to be announced.
“We’re doing a telethon on all the channels, every network in the country and international as well,” said Clooney. “It’s an unbelievable show. Bono’s written a song for it and songs are going to available on iTunes that night.
“People in Haiti have absolutely nothing. There are times when, as bad as it is for many people in this country, people also realise how much worse it is for them and they are very compassionate.
