George Clooney directing his a-list workers on the phones
Phone a Friend (cast member)
Sat, 23/01/2010 - 13:02 by Harry BowCelebs from around the globe prove their worth by taking part in telethon and raising an estimated $54 million for the Hope For Haiti Now fund...
We always imagined that if we were going to phone up Bono, Chris Martin or Katy Perry, it would be to tell them to piss the fuck-off, but obviously if they were manning the phones for very important Hope For Haiti Now: A Global Benefit For Earthquake Relief we'd give them a verbal pat on the back, some cash and then leave them to it (we didn't actually try calling the telethon last night, but donations can also be given HERE).
The event which ran consecutively on both sides of the Atlantic brought out an impressive bunch, with Beyonce, Jay-Z, Chris Martin and Bono over in London for the British broadcast, and Justin Timberlake, Cameron Diaz, Gerard Butler, Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt (who must've all shagged each other at some point but rose above any awkwardness for the occasion), Katy Perry, Russell Brand, Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens and pretty much every other star imaginable bringing in the cash in the US.
Excellent work people, particularly George Clooney, who we understand helped to organise the whole thing even though he's balls-deep in the (obviously far less significant) awards-season promo-tour. It's like when he pulls together the cast for an Ocean's 11 sequel, except for with much better results. Good chap.

Easy love easy. This isn't the site for all of that. What we do here is take the piss, have a giggle then go home. This is a satirical site. You don't think I'm called PuddyTwat in real life do you? Things will be said that get your goat but no-one needs a lecture. It's boring and kinda spoils things. Let's have a laugh and stick to ripping the piss out of deluded celebs. That's what they're paid for.
Highlighted a cause? Encouraged people to give? Well thats kind of my point.
I actually thought THE NEWS did a pretty good job of highlighting it! & I've punted some money their way through the normal channels.Obviously you missed the gist,which is bemoaning the fact that no fucker seems to want to do anything anymore unless it's celebrity endorsed in some way or other.Not even save lives or relieve suffering.
Oh yes...& having worked in the charity sector I can confirm the belief that a hell of a lot of the money pledged to these celebrity pat-on-the-back fests does indeed get eaten up by "admin" (a fucking euphemism if ever there was one) You really are much better off donating to the actual charities involved directly.Its not hard to do.
In case you're interested the best ones to donate to if you want to make sure the most money actually gets onsite are UNICEF & Medicins Sans Frontieres.
someone should of prank called bono, Pretended they were an alien and said I will give you 80 million if you come be king on planet Red" it would of been cool to talk to Ellen thats about all. Wouldnt it of been Icy if Angelina Jolie was there. ALSO why diddnt they do all this fucking fundraising for when they had HURRICANE CATRINA?? seems weard the only one that did any Manual labor was Sean Penn in his little Dingy! I have heard that allot of these huge charity things are just one big money making machine and only a small percentage goes into acctually helping those people. Apparently your better off going over there and accctually giving the people a hand instead of charity bosses!
They all look well bored
50 fucking pictures ?? FIFTY ??? what were they a job lot or something ? jesus titty fucking christ !
Pic 1 - Its just like that scene of the Film Actors Guild (FAG) in Team America .... "maaat day-mon"
Pft, shush you. They raised shitloads for Haiti and that's great. I don't particularly adore any of them, but they've done a good job of getting people to do some charity. And, yes, they could have given their own money (and I'm sure a lot of them probably will have given something (not Bono though, the fucker)) but they've highlighted a cause and encouraged normal people to give, which is great.
So unless you've got £50m for Haiti, shut up.
fifty pictures. christ on a bike. i got to 9.
OK,pretty obvious I know but someone has to be the first to say it so it may as well be me.
FUCK OFF!
If this combination of overpaid,undertalented tossers dipped their own hands in their collective designer pockets they could have had the docks fixed,the airport runway retarmaced & the hospitals up & running by now.Especially if you add in Simon Cowell & everyone who'll be running to get themselves involved in a bit of self promotion (sorry,charity) on the forthcoming ear poisoning fundraising single.
Oh well,at least Jacko is dead so no chance of having to sit through any of his insane bleating.Small mercies.
