Wyclef Jean and George Clooney worked together to organize participants and funds for "Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief" telethon presented by MTV. The telethon was broadcasted from New York, London, Los Angeles and Haiti. 60 countries and 60 international networks aired the Telethon. "Hope for Haiti Now" has to be one of the biggest charitable efforts ever organized. All proceeds from the telecast will be split among five organizations working on the ground in Haiti: Oxfam America, Partners in Health, American Red Cross, UNICEF and Yele Haiti.
Showbiz Spy - The Gone Till November rapper — who’s currently raising money for victims on the Haiti earthquake — apparently demanded $100,000 to appear at charity fundraiser in 2006.WYCLEF Jean isn’t as charitable as he seems.Internal e-mails, obtained by Gawker, show that FXB International — a French charity — were forced to cancel a benefit concert to raise funds to build a new school and community center in the village of Lasere, Jean’s hometown, because the singer’s personal performance fee made the event too expensive.
