According to Taylor Lautner’s rep, the “New Moon” heartthrob will not be participating in the “Hope for Haiti” telethon.

But something that should be music to your ears is the long list of musicians who will be performing during the two-hour fundraiser, which is being aired on every major network and numerous other cable outfits.

In New York, where Haiti native Wyclef Jean will host the show, there will be performances by Bruce Springsteen, Jennifer Hudson, Shakira, Mary J. Blige, Sting, and Jean himself.

Co-host George Clooney will be in Los Angeles, where Taylor Swift, Dave Matthews, Sheryl Crow, Kid Rock, Christina Aguilera, Keith Urban, Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys, John Legend, and Justin Timberlake are slated to perform.

And Bono, The Edge, Jay-Z, Rihanna and Coldplay will hit the stage in London, where Robert Pattinson will lend a helping hand as well.

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.

Additionally, the event will feature dozens and dozens of big stars manning the phones, and Anderson Coooper reporting from Haiti.

UPDATE – 7:30 PM –

The list of celebs who will be answering phones is still developing. Ellen DeGeneres has signed on, with many, many others rumored. Gossip Cop will monitor…

    and yes, a record will come, probably as awful as ‘we are the world’. does anyone remember we are the world’ everyone gave because of famine in africa-another hollywood thing. they shipped food and water to uganda. remember, anyone old enough? the food ALL ROTTED AT THE PORTS as armed soldiers would not let the food leave the area under the orders of the dictator. He did not want his people to be fed. No one checked into this first. Sorry to be a cynic, but hollywood gives a good party. getting things done-they suck. oprah asked that cnn dr. gosman (?) today what was needed down there-food, money supplies. He said they did not need the money. they needed someone to get the supplies from the airport out to them. then wyclef said he would go down there ,take charge of the U.S. army and take over the airport to get supplies out of there. really. I don’t know if oprah is on hulu or not. but that is what wyclef said. really. oprah never went back to him on that. wyclef is dilusional. and his charity is one of the ones listed for friday. and he is not on charity navigator or guidestar.

    No, I don’t . I don’t like people being scammed. The country is the poorest in the world. They need it, just like the people in africa. do you disagree with that? do you disagree that money was stolen during 9/11 and katrina? alot because people blindly gave because they believed others? alot of these ‘donors’ never knew their money never made it to where it was supposed to go. I do not have alot of hatred. I believe in justice
