A Must See: Hope for Haiti Now Telethon

Tonight you need to be at home! Or, I’ll let you slide if you are attending a Haiti fundraiser. Beginning at 8pm EST (7pm CST) MTV’s “Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief” will broadcast across a number of networks, including MTV. There will be over 100 celebrities and influencers broadcasting live all over the globe, from LA to NY to London to Haiti, to help raise money for the reconstruction of Haiti.

Performers include Wyclef Jean, Madonna, Alicia Keys, Kid Rock, Jay-Z, Bruce Springsteen, Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, Dave Matthews, Justin Timberlake and tons more. I’m super excited because this concert will be one of a kind. Some artists will perform songs that have never been heard before, while we we also see collaborations from artists we never thought we would see on the same stage. The telethon will also feature actors, television hosts, athletes, and singers who will be answering the phones. That will be an epic sight to see.

Make sure you tune in. I’m sure out of ALL these channels the telethon will air on, there is one that you can watch – whether you have cable or not: BC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CNN, BET, The CW, HBO, MTV, VH1, CMT, PBS, TNT, Showtime, Comedy Central, Bravo, E! Entertainment, National Geographic Channel, Oxygen, G4, CENTRIC, Current TV, Fuse, MLB Network, EPIX, Palladia, SoapNet, Style, Discovery Health, Planet Green, CNN en Español, HBO Latino and Canadian networks, including CBC Television, CTV, Global Television and MuchMusic.

Genie in A Bottle + Keeps Gettin’ Better

by: Christina Aguilera: Christina and Britney are back? I feel 12 all over again! Sorry Britney, I know you won all the awards at the VMAs a few nights ago, but someone had to get paid off for you to really “win” all those awards. On another note, Christina Aguilera performed. Mommy-hood has done her well because chick is baddd! Her performance started out with a mixed version of Genie in a Bottle and I was so lost because I thought it was a new song. She then performed her new single Keeps Gettin’ Better that was intended to inform people of her greatest hits album that will release in November. This performance was hott! Christina killed it! Although, her appearance did surprise me. Besides the blond hair and the lip-synched vocals, I would not have known it was her. She had on a mask that could have been perceived to be anybody! If word gets out that Brooke Hogan lipsynched the song, I wouldn’t be surprised.
