Pitching in for the dire cause, celebrities were out in the masses answering phones during the “Hope For Haiti Now: A Global Benefit For Earthquake Relief” telethon in Los Angeles on Friday (January 22).

Among the LA bunch were singing superstars such as “Sexy Back” stud Justin Timberlake, country cutie Taylor Swift, “Genie In a Bottle” babe Christina Aguilera and “All Summer Long” rocker Kid Rock. 

As for the actors and actresses, Jennifer Aniston, Sacha Baron Cohen, John Cusack, Nicole Kidman, Leo DiCaprio, Charlize Theron, Colin Farrell, Olivia Wilde, Mel Gibson, Jack Nicholson, Reese Witherspoon, Drew Barrymore, Cindy Crawford, Julia Roberts, Penelope Cruz, Chris Pine, Gerard Butler, Alyssa Milano and Ewan McGregor all did their best to bring in the bucks.

Talking about the global effort, the gigs main host George Clooney said, “That’s it … just first and foremost that we can raise a lot of money. If I thought that we could all pick up shovels and go in there and not be in the way, I think a lot of people would do that.”

For those kind enough to pitch in, donations can be made online at HopeForHaitiNow.org, over the phone by calling (877) 99-HAITI, by texting the word “GIVE” to 50555 or by mail addressed to Hope for Haiti Now Fund, Entertainment Industry Foundation, 1201 West 5th St., Suite T-700, Los Angeles, CA, 90017.
