Shortline Bus Posted January 21, 2010 Share #1 Posted January 21, 2010 If you plan to watch TV on Friday evening on 1/22/10 between 8-10pm or later more than likely your favorite show that night will been postponed? It all being pushed aside for a hisotric telethon for Haiti, raising money for the recent earthquake. It's being produced and hosted by George Clooney (also produced the 9/11 telethon)and MTV/CBS and shown worldwide in dozens of countries for estimated 500 million people. Any reactions? Here story. 1)MTV press release http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1630121/20100120/knowles_beyonce.jhtml 2)CTV Canada news release http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20100117/haiti_telethon_100117/20100117?hub=EntertainmentV2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortline Bus Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share #10 Posted January 23, 2010 Clips of this great tv special. Well done George Clooney and the best to the people of Haiti as recovery & rebuliding starts to get underway. 1) Remake of classic "Lean on Me" by Kid Rock Sherly Rock and Keith Urban. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCi9X4btx38 2)Let it be Jennifer Hudson (she version of the Beatles classic) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0f7DT7xozc 3) "Haiti Mon Amour" Jay-Z featuring Bono and Rhianna. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCR9iSV6h10 Well done George Clooney and other involved in creating this special. Better imo than the 'Katrina' (Kayne West ruined it imo in sept 2005)with his anti Pres GW Bush comments)Tsumani and Sept 11' specials.:tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortline Bus Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share #12 Posted January 23, 2010 Great job kid(R68) that yourself and your school did for helping Haiti. Just like the few weeks after 9/11 and the tsumani, sadly it takes a disater like an earthquake in Haiti to bring this world closely together and at least for a short moment realize we are all brothers and sisters.:cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
