George Clooney Talks About Hope For Haiti Now

Watch the MTV interview here…

George Clooney has spoken about the need for people to donate to help Haiti.

The actor has organised today’s Hope For Haiti Now event with MTV and Wyclef Jean- which will raise money for the relief effort.
Speaking to our US team at rehearsals in Los Angeles he said: “I think it's the same message that everybody does, that churches do, that communities do — which is everybody participate, help out, whatever way you can.”
“If it's clothing, give clothing. This is designed for money. And it can be anything. Five bucks — it can be anything, whatever way you can help out- be involved. It's a big world out there, and we all have a lot of responsibility to look out for people that can't look out for themselves.”
Asked how the telethon came together George explained: “I was in New York the evening it happened. It happened at four or five o'clock, and I got a message from Wyclef that he's gonna go into the Dominican Republic and that it was much worse than what's initially been reported.”
"We knew it was bad, but who knew how bad. And he said, 'Is there anything you can do?' So the next morning, I woke up and called Judy McGrath at MTV, and Judy said, 'We were thinking about doing something too,' so I said, 'Let's do it.'”
Confirmed for the show are Justin Timberlake, Coldplay, U2, Jay-Z, Rihanna, Beyonce, Shakira, Christina Aguilera.
You can watch the event on MTV and VIVA and donate in the UK at 1am tonight (Fri into Sat) and repeated all weekend.
