Justin Timberlake...Haiti telethon features Bono, Taylor Swift & Jennifer Hudson! Broadcast & iTunes release...






Justin Timberlake will appear alongside "the Boss" (Bruce Springsteen), Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, and Bono (to name a few) tonight on a live! Telethon to raise funds for earthquake-torn Haiti still suffering aftershock and homelessness after a big one struck the tiny Nation earlier this week.

The broadcast kicks-off @ 8 p.m. in New York City & has been listed on the TV schedule as:

Hope for Haiti Now:  A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief

A myriad of stations, cable outlets, and major networks will carry the high-profile benefit concert - including NBC, Fox, CNN, and HBO - to name a few.


"Coldplay" will contribute from a London stage, while Bono is slated to jam with a handful of talented musicians in a group effort to raise the consciousness over the isssues (and much-needed funds, too).

George Clooney and MTV, who knocked heads to organize the landmark musical event, have arranged for the music featured in the spectacular extravaganza, to be released on iTunes tomorrow (Saturday January 23rd).

Three of the hosts will broadcast live from separate locations:

* George Clooney (Los Angeles)
*Wyclef Jean (NYC)
*Anderson Cooper (Haiti)

All proceeds collected go to a myriad of charities in the loop.
