Wyclef Jean To co-host Haiti benefit telethon With George Clooney
 George Clooney has pulled together a list of top
celebrities to participate in the Haiti benefit telethon. The list of
confirmed guests, includes Bono, Alicia Keys, Sting and Justin Timberlake.
Sources close to the Haiti benefit telethon confirmed that Wyclef Jean
will be co-hosing the event along with Clooney. The live event is scheduled
to air on Friday, January 22 on ABC, NBC, HBO, CNN and MTV. Proceeds
from the event will be distributed via the Red Cross, Oxfam and Yele
Haiti Foundation.
In a related story, Wyclef Jean has released a video hitting back at critics who said he used the funds from his NGO YELE Haiti for his own personal profit.
"You can't put a show together without a production," Wyclef Jean said in the video, apparently referring to a $100,000 payment to his recording studio for a benefit concert performance. "You need lights, you need a stage. . . . You need a tour manager. . . . I never, never would ever take money for my personal pocket when it comes to Yele."
