More than 100 stars have signed on to help raise funds for the MTV Networks-sponsored show, which will benefit the victims of last week’s devastating 7.0-magnitude earthquake on the impoverished island.

  Several one-of-a-kind collaborations will highlight the event, including a hookup between U2’s Bono and The Edge with Jay-Z and Rihanna in London and a jam featuring Kid Rock, Keith Urban and Sheryl Crow in Los Angeles; like all the night’s performances, the collabos will be available for download on iTunes for 99 cents the next day.

  Jean, a native of Haiti, George Clooney and CNN’s Anderson Cooper will appear on the show, which will be broadcast from New York, London, Los Angeles and Haiti and feature more than 100 of the biggest names in film, television and music providing testimonials and answering phones. The two-hour program will air commercial-free across ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CNN, BET, the CW, HBO, MTV, VH1 and CMT on Friday at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The special will also air on PBS, TNT, Showtime, Comedy Central, Bravo, E!

It will also air internationally on BET International, CNN International, National Geographic and MTV Networks International, available in 640 million homes worldwide. «Hope for Haiti» will be the first U.S.-based telethon airing on MTV in China. Facebook and Twitter are the official social media partners who will help to drive donations and tune-in to the telethon.

  All donations will directly benefit Oxfam America, Partners in Health, Red Cross, UNICEF and Wyclef’s Yele Haiti Foundation. Facebook and MySpace have signed on as official social-media partners to help steer viewers to the telethon and drive donations.

  Additionally, the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund and United Nations World Food Programme have joined the list of relief organizations that will benefit from the show, with proceeds to be split evenly among each organization’s individual Haiti relief funds. «Hope For Haiti Now» will be the most widely distributed telethon in history, internationally and across media platforms, including live streaming globally on sites including YouTube, Hulu, MySpace, Fancast, AOL, MSN.com, Yahoo, Bing.com, BET.com, MTV.com, and Rhapsody and on mobile via Alltel, AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and FloTV.

  On the red carpet at Sunday night’s Golden Globe Awards, George Clooney revealed how the global fundraiser came together. «You guys started it,» the actor said. «The first call I made was to Judy [McGrath, MTV Networks’ chief executive]. She said, ‘Yes, everybody will do it, everybody’s in’ and that they were thinking of doing it too. They got the ball rolling and we got every single network after that. So congratulations to you!»

  Before the telethon airs, Clooney wanted to remind young people that there are many ways to help the people of Haiti.

  «I would say, ‘Get involved, whatever you do,’ » the Oscar-winner said. «This is about compassion. There are times in our lives when people are really without help and in real danger, and this is one of those times. So whatever they can do — give money to one of the organizations that they like the best.»

  Haiti Aftershock; Telethon; Rihanna’s Tribute + More

  http://www.justintimberlake.com/news/haiti_aftershock_telethon_rihannas_tribute_and_more

  Today, Haiti had another 6.1 «aftershock» around 6 A.M. – (though it seems dubious that a quake of 6.1 can be categorized as simply an aftershock 8 days after the first quake, considering its intensity and magnitude.) Regardless, it makes the outlook in already ravaged Haiti even more dismal.

  That said, the much-needed support continues to pour in in all forms.

  One in particular that Justin is involved in is Hope for Haiti Now, the global telethon benefit this Friday, Jan 22nd. The two-hour telethon will air on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CNN, BET, The CW, HBO, MTV, VH1, and CMT as well as an impressive list of other networks on Friday at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT and 7:00 p.m. CT.

  The list of artists who will be performing coast to coast is vast and impressive, including Wyclef Jean, Jay-Z, Shakira, Alicia Keys, Dave Matthews, John Legend, Sheryl Crow, etc.

  Starting Saturday, all performance recordings will be available for $.99 per song through I-Tunes, with all proceeds benefiting Haiti relief funds managed by «Hope for Haiti Now» charities.

  That said, we’re letting you be the first to know Justin will be performing «Hallelujah» (hint, hint)….so be sure to watch for it!

  (PS We’ll be sure to provide you with the link on JT.com as well to purchase the track as soon as it’s available as well so stay tuned!)

  In the meantime, Rihanna covered Bob Marley’s ‘Redemption Song’ live on Oprah, in support of Hope For Haiti Now. The song is available for a limited period on iTunes with all proceeds also going to Haiti relief funds. Check out her vocals in the video below.

  Also, we listed several more options of how to help Haiti HERE.
