Over 100 of the biggest names in film, television and music are geared up to participate in the biggest relief benefit for Haiti organized since the Jan. 12 earthquake.
The musical lineup already includes Bruce Springsteen, Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Stevie Wonder, Jay-Z and Rihanna. Musical performances will be available for purchase on iTunes beginning on Friday. All proceeds will go to Haiti relief funds managed by "Hope for Haiti Now" charities.
In addition to musical performances, former President Bill Clinton will appear along with Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Will Smith with Muhammad Ali, Leonardo DiCaprio and a host of other film, television and music stars.
The benefit will also feature Wyclef Jean reporting from New York City, George Clooney from Los Angeles and CNN's Anderson Cooper reporting from Haiti.
One celebrity NOT on the guest list is Kanye West.
(We also heard after the telethon Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie will be awaiting the participants in a nearby studio to re-record "We Are The World.")
