Joe Jonas Plans Haiti Trip, Stars Offer Support At Critics' Choice Awards

'Everyone needs to get involved in whatever way they can,' Emily Blunt says of earthquake-relief effort.

At Friday's (January 15) Critics' Choice Movie Awards, there was plenty to talk about, from the red-carpet fashions to the night's big winners to the rare tie that had two Best Actress recipients. Appropriately, however, no topic was more important than discussion of the recent tragedy in Haiti — and what Hollywood's biggest stars are doing to help.

"I think I might go, to do some relief work," revealed Joe Jonas, telling us on the red carpet that the events of the past few days have touched him deeply. "I'm going to try; I'm going to try to get there."

On Tuesday, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake — the area's most severe in over 200 years — devastated the country. With its epicenter near Haitian capital Port-au-Prince, widespread damage has been reported, and the death toll could reach as high as 100,000 people.

"I'm going to be doing the thing that George [Clooney] is organizing; the telethon," explained Emily Blunt, another star throwing her support behind the fundraising program that the "Ocean's" series star is putting together for January 22. "But I think, really, it's just about everyone — everyone — needs to jump in. Everyone needs to get involved in whatever way they can. So, I think I'm just going to research the best way to help."

Other celebs discussing their efforts to help Haiti at Friday's awards show included Kevin Bacon and Sandra Bullock. Joe Jonas, however, said that simply contributing a check wasn't enough for him.

"[I can get there] either this Tuesday or, like, two or three weeks from now. I can't promise I'm going to go, but I'm going to try," he insisted. "I really want to be able to support in any way I can; I was going to go to Haiti before, to do similar work there. But now it's obviously a completely different thing and my heart goes out to those people there and the families and everything."

With sincerity in his voice, Joe sent out a special message to the troubled area of the world and its residents. "I just pray that everybody's all right, and I'm going to try and do my best by getting there," he said. "And I would definitely say, if anyone can give money or support, it's the perfect way to do it."

Lady Gaga Pledges Haiti Earthquake-Relief Donation On 'Oprah'

In an appearance as varied as one of her song medleys, on Friday's (January 15) "Oprah Winfrey Show," Lady Gaga performed, announced that she'll be donating the proceeds from one of her forthcoming concerts to relief for Haiti, and indirectly addressed her show cancellations in the wake of her collapse from exhaustion after a show on Thursday.

Regarding Haiti, Gaga said that all proceeds from her January 24 concert in New York will go to relief organizations for the earthquake in the embattled country.

"Haiti's still suffering," she said. "And I was thinking earlier, because I was in New York during 9/11 and I always felt, the level of disaster isn't in the neighborhood of what is happening in Haiti, but I just remember feeling nobody really understood. And I worry that young people don't know enough about what's going on there.

"And I will say today that on the 24th, the Monster Ball [show] in New York City, all of the money that I make in ticket sales and merchandise will go to Haiti. And on the 24th you can also go onto LadyGaga.com and any merchandise that you buy, the money will go to Haiti." Reached for comment, Gaga's label rep told MTV News the specifics of the contribution would be announced in the coming days. (Learn more about what you can do to help with earthquake-relief efforts in Haiti.)

Although the concerts she postponed or canceled on Friday due to exhaustion didn't come up directly in conversation, Gaga did admit, "I always have very trying weeks in terms of my physical schedule."

For Gaga's performance, she stepped onto the stage with a ball and chain and spiky getup — complete with a spiked hairstyle — that was part dress, part pantsuit and busted out a medley that started off with "Monster" before going into her hit "Bad Romance," complete with several dancers. She later took the ball and chain, jumped on a mock taxi and attempted to break through its windshield. (Oprah was shown pumping her fist in the crowd during the performance.) She then slowed it down by completing the set at her piano singing "Speechless."

Also appearing on the show was "Avatar" director James Cameron, and Gaga revealed that she had always wanted to paint herself blue, like the Na'vi in the film. "It's actually funny about James Cameron, because I've been talking about how I want to paint myself blue for a performance for the longest time," she explained. "I've been preparing to do it and then 'Avatar' came out."

In the interview with Winfrey, the singer addressed her long-simmering stardom aspirations. "I don't like that, actually. It feels so weird when people call me 'lady,' " she said about her stage name, adding, "I wake up in the morning and I get on my computer and I have files and reference boards and I call the Haus of Gaga all day and argue with them. For me it's all about being provocative. It's not just about getting attention, but about really saying something that affects people.

"The hardest part about my job is that I'm bossy, really. This is my only opportunity to live my dream."

Gaga also gave Winfrey's cameras a peek at the inner workings of her Monster Ball Tour, showing her wardrobe closet and her office. She added that before her team hits the stage they have a very specific pre-show ritual. "We always at the end of the prayer say 'Joanne' altogether because that was my father's sister, who died very young, and I believe she's onstage every night."

Wyclef's Yele Haiti Tops $2 Million In Text Donations

Americans' charitable donations on track to set fund-raising records.

Since the first news of Tuesday's devastating earthquake in Haiti began trickling out, former Fugees member Wyclef Jean has been urging people to text donations to aid his homeland.

As he flies back to the U.S. on Friday (January 15) after assessing the damage on the ground from the 7.0 earthquake that reduced the capital of Port-au-Prince to rubble, Wyclef can take heart in the fact that his pleas have been heard. As of Friday morning, Yele Haiti had raised more than $2 million from mobile giving, according to Albe Angel, CEO of Miami-based Give on the Go, the mobile-communications company working with the non-profit to coordinate donations.

With a series of urgent tweets on his official Twitter feed imploring followers to text "Yele" to 501501 to donate $5 to the effort, 'Clef has mobilized a massive effort on behalf of his homeland, and Angel said that the musician's goal of raising $1 million a day for relief could be well within reach. "I definitely think we could start seeing that figure," Angel told MTV News on Friday.

Wyclef spoke to Fox News on Thursday about the utter destruction he saw on the Caribbean island nation that has struggled with crushing poverty and poor infrastructure for decades.

"This is apocalypse," Jean said of the utter destruction of Port-au-Prince, where first responders were struggling to deal with the reported thousands trapped under mounds of rubble from the worst earthquake to hit Haiti in two centuries.

"The reality here at the airport has nothing to do with what's going on on the ground right now," added Wyclef, who began making urgent pleas for help just hours after the quake struck his native country. "We spent the day picking up dead bodies, all day that's what we did. There's so much bodies in the streets that the morgues are filled up, the cemeteries are filled up. So we participated in picking up the bodies and finding a place that we could put the bodies."

MTV is teaming up with Oscar-winning actor George Clooney for a Haitian relief telethon next Friday (January 22). In the meantime, there are numerous ways you can take part in Haitian relief efforts.

The grim situation in Haiti has elicited an unprecedented outpouring of support that could rival the almost $2 billion in private donations from Americans after the 2004 Asian tsunami.

"We're hearing that this is breaking all records," Sandra Miniutti of Charity Navigator, an independent group that evaluates U.S. charities, told USA Today. In addition to the more than $10 million raised so far by the Red Cross, Oxfam American has raised $2.7 million and President Obama has pledged $100 million in U.S. aid.

Report From Haiti: Survivors Struggle, Bodies Fill The Streets

Posted: 15 Jan 2010 07:27 AM PST

'Too many people died, and you can smell it in the air,' one survivor says.
By Erik Parker

Erik Parker is a freelance journalist who was in Haiti when the earthquake struck on Tuesday. You can read his tweets and view his photos at Twitter.com/TheParkerReport.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — There are dead bodies lying on Haiti's street and they cannot be ignored. After Tuesday's devastating 7.0 earthquake, thousands of people died in buildings and on the walkways — their faces exposed, their eyes sometimes slightly open. The next day many were covered with sheets, shielded from the sun and from sight. Now, from under the flimsy coverings, the stench from their decaying bodies rises up and attacks the air with a pungent odor that causes the locals to cover their faces and noses with whatever they can find.

"I wear this mask because it's starting to smell badly with all the dead bodies," Jean McKenzie, a 16-year-old resident of Port-au-Prince's Carrefour Feuilles district, said on Thursday. He had a red bandana tied around his face to block out the smell, but there is little that can block out the stench. "It started smelling really, really bad at noon today," he said.

Even while the Haitian Police have begun to collect bodies for identification at the morgue, McKenzie said, they have much more work to do.

McKenzie is one of many Haitians who are trying to live with the dead in ways they didn't expect just days ago. The 7.0 magnitude earthquake left many bodies trapped under rubble and displaced many residents. The bodies that were pulled out of the wreckage rested on the sidewalks and roadways. There were too many wounded for authorities to contend with the dead. So they lie there while people walk the street wearing bandanas, surgical masks or even napkins.

Roberto Bonsues, 18, has tied a tank top around his neck in order to keep out the smell. I talked with him in the same downtown area where I met McKenzie. Fortunately, no one in his family was killed when his building collapsed. But that does not mean he is unaffected. "Too many people died," he said. "And you can smell it in the air."

The day after the earthquake, I was walking through Port-au-Prince's downtown area. The bodies of two women lay motionless on the street; flies darted around their bodies. Across the street, there was a United Nations fort. No soldiers or police officers where visible in the area, except from the watch post behind a wall, across the street. I walked over and asked the soldier if he could do anything about the dead at their front doors. He ducked away and an English-speaking woman came to speak to me through the gate.

"There are many dead bodies," she said. "Walk around the other side. You will see them. There are dead bodies everywhere. We have sick people here. We cannot take any more in here."

Disaster is nothing new in today's Haiti, which is plagued with economic, social and natural strife. The country has a longstanding history of immense poverty (about 70 percent lives on less than $2 per day), the Republic's thorny political history is rife with coups d'etat and rampant corruption, and natural disasters, particularly hurricanes, run rampant. But Tuesday's devastating quake has brought death counts that range from 50,000 (according to Red Cross) to 100,000 (according to Haitian government estimates) and possibly more — but no one knows the true count.

"This is worse than [the mid-1990s genocide in] Kigali, Rwanda," said Ken Walton, a former U.N. Rwanda Emergency Officer agent, now helping to evacuate people from Haiti for International SOS. He said he dropped into Kigali after a bloody massacre that left about 1 million dead. "And the smell is worse."

In Port-au-Prince, bodies continue to decay in the sun, waiting to be claimed or taken away — not because they may cause illness (many experts argue they won't), but because the living now sleep near the dead at night, walk among them during the day — and they must be reminded of their tragedy with each breath. It's no good to demand that an overwhelmed U.N. acknowledge the dead bodies in their midst — but there's much good in world citizens reaching out to help the living. (Head here to find out what you can do to help.)

"Only the dead person's family comes to take the body," McKenzie said, his voice slightly muffled by his red mask. "They just take it to the cemetery and drop it there."

And yet, you can still smell it in the air.

Akon Supports Wyclef And His Yele Haiti Organization

Posted: 15 Jan 2010 04:45 AM PST

'At the end of the day, you know where his heart is,' Akon says.
By Jayson Rodriguez

Akon and Wyclef are not only musical brothers-in-arms, but the two international superstars also share a passion for humanitarianism as well. The Senegalese crooner has lent his time and money to efforts in Africa and beyond.

On Friday (January 15), Akon rallied his support around 'Clef and the former Fugees frontman's Yele Haiti organization.

"A lot of times, things like [critiques of Wyclef's organization] are really irrelevant," Akon told MTV News. "Because it's obvious he's trying to do good. Especially for Haiti, his loyalty to Haiti, you can't really question. In the beginning his foundation was in the start-up stages and he had to get the team together, he had to find the right staff and crew that could actually handle those things. He had a lot on his plate. Naturally, of course, when you have a lot on your plate, you're an entertainer and you're moving around performing and doing humanitarian acts through the world, it's gonna be hard to keep an eye on everything with your foundation. Some things are gonna slip through the cracks. But I don't think that's fair to put him under the gun for things like that because at the end of the day, you know where his heart is."

According to a report by the Smoking Gun, the Yele Haiti organization's accounting practices have hardly been meticulous. The nonprofit was incorporated 12 years ago but only began filing tax returns in August, documents obtained by the site show. In addition, some of the monies may have been directed to companies that Wyclef also has interests in, such as a for-profit production outlet based in Haiti.

So far, Wyclef has helped to raise $2 million in aid through his organization via text-message contributions. He's rallied support around his cause through multiple TV appearances and a steady stream of Twitter dispatches from Haiti. Wyclef is also scheduled to host a telethon on January 22, partnering with actor George Clooney and a host of outlets including MTV Networks.

"I know how much passion and love he has for his country and that's why he does so much for Haiti in general," Akon said. "And I can understand it — I feel his pain in all aspects because if it happened in Senegal, I'd be in the same position. So that's why we do whatever we can and assist him in whatever it is, including him and everyone else, they all need help. I think we should put our hands in that same pot and try to find a way to stir that soup [together]."

Akon applauded Wyclef for his instant outreach, which included the hip-hop star flying to the earthquake-ravaged country right away.

'Clef spoke with Fox News while he was in Port-au-Prince and he described the scene as an "apocalypse." His sister Melky Jean spoke to MTV News on Thursday and echoed her brother's comments.

"The reality here at the airport has nothing to do with what's going on on the ground right now," Wyclef said. "We spent the day picking up dead bodies — all day that's what we did. There's so much bodies in the streets that the morgues are filled up, the cemeteries are filled up. So we participated in picking up the bodies and finding a place that we could put the bodies."

The resounding feeling about the relief efforts in Haiti is that there is no time to waste. Members of the hip-hop community have been banning together in their efforts to help. Wyclef has been active, already raising in excess of $2 million for his home country, while New York radio station Hot 97 asked listeners to call up and request songs in exchange for a donation to the relief effort.

On Monday, Bun B is spearheading a concert that will be a fundraiser for Haiti relief. The show, "Houston for Haiti," is scheduled to go from 4-8 p.m. at the Warehouse Live in Houston. Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young will make an appearance, while H-Town mainstays such as Bun, Slim Thug, ESG, Corey Mo and Trae Tha Truth have all confirmed performances. Lil O, Candi Redd, Just Brittany and the Party Boyz are also onboard.

Bun promised that more names will join.

"We all need to get involved," the UGK rapper said in a statement. "Race, color or creed, we are all Haitians right now, and we need to help our brothers and sisters!"

Meanwhile, MCs such as Fabolous have taken to Twitter to urge everyone to donate through various avenues, such as texting "Yele" to 501501, which adds a $5 donation to your phone bill.

"It's just devastating," Fabolous said about the catastrophe. "I don't know if Haiti had history of earthquakes in the past. The devastation I seen, I saw a brief clip of raw footage on the Internet. ... A lot of places in America are not built for earthquakes, so I know in Haiti they are really stressing that issue of not being prepared for something like that. I know it's a crazy, devastating situation for that country alone. I send my [prayers]."

Jay-Z, Fabolous, Jermaine Dupri Make Super Bowl Predictions

Posted: 15 Jan 2010 04:08 AM PST

'The Cowboys and the Jets in the Super Bowl,' Jigga says.
By Shaheem Reid

Jay-Z stopped by Ed Lover's Power 105.1 radio show and dropped another nickname for himself: "Jigga the Greek," referencing the late sports commentator and bookie Jimmy the Greek.

Hov predicted the New York Jets would be up against the Dallas Cowboys in this year's Super Bowl.

"Cowboys, that's my pop's team — what I'mma do? The Cowboys and the Jets in the Super Bowl. I'm gonna put that out there," he said.

However, we asked around, and fellow Brooklynite Fabolous said Jay is a little off.

"The Jets got a lot of spirit right now," Loso said. "I ain't gonna lie. Jay is just pro-New York. He would love for the Jets to be there. It's a lot of hard teams they would have to beat — the Chargers this week. I would love to see the Jets in there. Going into it, they have the spirit of the Cinderella team. It would be dope for them to be in there, but my Colts are not going down, brother. Sorry.

"Of course my Colts are going to the Super Bowl. NFC wise, it's a little tough over there. The Cowboys are playing good ball. I don't think [Cowboys quarterback Tony] Romo is consistent. The Saints, I think, toward the end of the year after that loss, they haven't been playing the same. The Vikings ... I'm a little shaky with Brett Favre. The Cardinals, I'm a little shaky too. If I had to take one, I would say the Cowboys right now and the Colts."

Jermaine Dupri agreed. "It's gonna be the Cowboys and the Colts. I'm a Cowboys fan. I always been a Cowboys fan. That's my team," the producer explained. "I personally don't think the Colts gonna make it. They got the best chance to make it, but the Cowboys definitely going. That Brett Favre sh--, a quarterback can't beat us. Brett Favre, Adrian Peterson — if they can't stop our running game this weekend, they got a problem. Then the Saints, we seen them get beat. I think Ray Lewis and [the Ravens] got a chance of going back to the Super Bowl. They're a team that's been there and people count them out — then here they come, they done beat New England. I just think they gonna show and prove differently from what people know."

Hours after the devastating 7.0-magnitude earthquake that shook the island of Haiti, Wyclef Jean put out a plea to anyone with information about the whereabouts of Haitian rapper Jimmy O, who is a part of 'Clef's nonprofit Yele Haiti foundation.

"I urge everyone who's listening right now that knows how great this kid is in Haiti — I need y'all to verify this information," he said during a CNN interview. "It would be a terrible loss for us."

On Friday (January 15), CNN confirmed that O, 35, who had reportedly traveled to the island to work on a mixtape, had died in the quake. According to reports, O was crushed while driving around downtown Port-au-Prince.

CNN was on the scene when O's body was discovered Friday and watched as a man examined the body and pulled the artist's passport from his pocket, verifying the corpse as that of Jean "Jimmy O" Jimmy Alexandre.

Agent Robert Dominique was also present at the discovery of the body and verified his identity. "His loss will be tremendous in Haiti," Dominique said. He said that in addition to helping run the Yele Haiti charity, O also developed new talent and artists in Haiti.

The grief-stricken mother of the musician and his wife and two of his three children were present at the scene and were reportedly joined by a crowd that was also overcome with emotion over the loss.

As of Friday morning, Yele Haiti had raised more than $2 million from mobile giving, according to Albe Angel, CEO of Miami-based Give on the Go, the mobile-communications company working with nonprofit Yele Haiti to coordinate donations. In addition to food distribution and emergency relief, Yele Haiti has provided thousands of scholarships to children since its founding in 2004.

Haitian Earthquake Relief Bolstered By New York Radio Station

Posted: 15 Jan 2010 06:31 AM PST

'We have to step up and give them a hand,' Jeffrey Joseph from Radyo Pa Nou says.
By Jayson Rodriguez, with reporting by Sway Calloway

Celebrity outreach to Haiti may be dominating the headlines, but everyday heroes truly do exist in the wake of the calamity caused by the earthquake that crippled the country.

For instance in Brooklyn, New York, local radio station Radyo Pa Nou has been assisting the local Haitian community by helping to locate loved ones lost on the island.

Jeffrey Joseph, the vice president and general manager of the station, told MTV News on Friday (January 15) how they've been able to communicate back and forth to Haiti — Radyo Pa Nou contacts sister stations in other zones, away from Port-au-Prince, and relays names that have been called into them.

Joseph said his station has received upward of 200 calls from New York families hoping to find out if uncles, aunts and other relatives are still alive. Employees have been taking turns fielding calls and gathering names. The results have varied.

"I could say, like, a good 15 to 20 percent success rate of [actually] locating family members," Joseph explained. "Because the manpower we have down there is limited."

Despite a shortage of help, the process is nothing short of remarkable.

According to Joseph, after his station relays names to Haiti, someone on the other end will order volunteers to physically bike or walk into the street in search of the names they've been given.

"They ride to the neighborhood or, if they know someone that's closer to that neighborhood, they'll contact someone from there," he explained. "If they give us [back] a long list of 20 to 30 people, we'll say [on our airwaves], 'The Joseph family calling about your two sons, they're alive.' And then we'll go from there, on and on."

Like many in the Haitian community, Joseph is grateful for all the assistance from around the globe — but he also stressed the need for his countrymen to rise to the challenge created by the devastating earthquake.

"The worst is behind us, but as Haitians it's up to us to rebuild the country," he said. "We're gonna keep working 24/7, whatever it takes. We're Haitian and we share the same bloodlines and our brothers and sisters are in need. We have to step up and give them a hand."
