Fifty-seven million...

A telethon record: the Hope For Haiti Now benefit, which aired this past Friday night, raised $57 million...and counting. The all-star event aired on major networks, several cable networks and streamed online. Several stars, including Halle Berry, Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon and Morgan Freeman were manning the phones while Alicia Keys, Bono, Stevie Wonder and more gave somber yet touching performances. Some of my favorite and best of the night:
Christina Aguilera


Mary J. Blige

Jennifer Hudson

Bono, Jay-Z & Rihanna


Donations are still being accepted at http://www.hopeforhaitinow.org or by calling 1-877-99-HAITI. You can also purchase an album of the performances via iTunes now. All proceeds will also be donated to the organization.
