George Clooney to host telethon to aid people of Haiti on January 22nd


As celebrities continue to offer support to victims of the devastating earthquake in Haiti, George Clooney has gone a step further and will be hosting a telethon to aid the people of Haiti.

According to sources, Clooney is doing all he can to rally big-name buddies, asking them to make an appearance on the broadcast, which will air live on Friday, Jan. 22, from 8-10 p.m. ET. All MTV networks, as well as ABC, NBC, CNN and HBO, will carry the show.

Clooney's good friends Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have already opened their hearts and wallets to Haiti, donating $1 million to Doctors Without Borders.


Bravo, George!

You never know, Jay! Johnny was on for the telethon for the victims of the tsunami. When I called in to donate, I got Stevie Wonder who was absolutely sweet! :))

He's great, Sandy! He would make a great politician, except it seems that politics swallows up the most well-intentioned with its corruption, doesn't it?
