Beyonce and Madonna have joined Friday's "Hope for Haiti Now" celebrity telethon for the earthquake-ravaged Caribbean nation, and actors George Clooney and Leonardo DiCaprio will each donate $1 million to the cause, their representatives said on Thursday.
After word spread that Kanye had been banned from tonight’s telethon benefiting Haiti on MTV, reps from the network released a statement. Click here to see what they had to say.
As we previously reported, a bevy of top-selling artists will perform a cross-continent televised fundraiser for "Hope For Haiti Now" tomorrow. But there's one star who won't be there. And that's Kanye West.
Dubbed "Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief," the fundraiser will take place Friday and comprise events in New York City, Los Angeles, London and Haiti. Haiti native Wyclef Jean will host the New York City proceedings, while actor George Clooney will do the same in Los Angeles and CNN's Anderson Cooper will report from Haiti.
