House's Olivia Wilde had just returned from Haiti when the earthquake struck.
"I am gutted by this catastrophe," Wilde, who works with Artists for Peace and Justice, says in a statement to UsMagazine.com. "Right now, their team on the ground needs money desperately to help dig people out of the collapsed hospitals and schools, to buy emergency medicine, to supply badly needed water and food, to help fly in doctors for the wounded children, and so much more," she continues. "Any amount helps."

29fools. your money is not going to these people, STOP SENDING YOUR HARD EARNED DOLLARS BECAUSE IT IS NOT GOING WHERE YOU THINK IT IS. if the stupid bonebrains in LaLaLand want to give up their money to them, let them since they have it to give and would just spend it on something stupid like a new pair of Christian Louboutins or a new 40 room mansion to go along with their twenty other 40-room mansions.

How can I volunteer to George Clooney's telethon. PLease advised. Sincerely, MR.Jean
I know we've all said it before, but I'm adding my voice to the masses. George, invite Adam to sing during the telethon. He is a magical muse whose voice, eyes, and heart connect with people in a profound way. Check out his ET-Red Cross PSA. It'll get to you too!
If we put it out to the universe, maybe Adam will be moved to sing at the telethon. If he have to be invited, Georgeâ??what are you waiting for! Invite our magical muse to sing; his impact will be profound.
I think George Clooney needs to invite Adam Lambert to sing 'Time For Miracles' for the Haiti concert. It would be very appropriate.
BRING ADAM LAMBERT IN!

Please, Please, Please have Adam Lambert sing!!!!!
I would just love hearing Adam Lambert too! He's such a great singer with a big heart!
Hey George!!! Adam singing Time for Miracles would be a perfect fit!!!
just watched adam lambert for haiti..help for haiti..huge lambert fan here. glad to see him joining .would love to hear him sing for oscars too
To Jen, Look in Your own mirror before you judge others. Adam Lambert is a good man and there is no one and I REPEAT no one that is without faults on this plannet!!!
I would like to "Spotlight" my idea in your magaine. How can I go about this?
Jen, I guess you missed Adam's appearance on Oprah yesterday (as well as the many shows he has done since the AMA's). Adam Lambert singing Time For Miracles would be perfect.They are already using it on the Unicef PSA he did for the Haitian relief effort.
George's group should put a link on all press releases and updates to the proper website for donations, thus enabling folks to donate now. That would be very useful.
