“Hope for Haiti” airs later tonight, and the array of stars signed up to help the island nation devastated by an earthquake is growing by the hour.
The two-hour telethon, which will air on every major network and dozens upon dozens of other stations across the U.S. and around the world, is being hosted by George Clooney in Los Angeles, Haiti native Wyclef Jean in New York, and Anderson Cooper from Haiti.
So who will you see tonight?
Among those signed up so far are Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks, Bill Clinton, Meryl Streep, Leonardo DiCaprio, Clint Eastwood, Nicole Kidman, Robert Pattinson, Jon Stewart, Ellen Degeneres, Matt Damon, and Morgan Freeman, to name just a few.
And the fundraiser has attracted a number of major artists who will be performing as well. That list includes, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Bono, The Edge, Jay-Z, Rihanna, Sting, Jennifer Hudson, Sheryl Crow, Kid Rock, Keith Urban, Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys, Dave Matthews, John Legend, Shakira, Mary J. Blige, and Coldplay.
The music will be available, beginning Saturday, on iTunes and all the proceeds will go to the charities benefiting from the telethon, including the Red Cross, UNICEF, Oxfam, Partners in Health, and Wyclef’s Yele Haiti Foundation.
