Hope For Haiti Now

There are millions of people in Haiti who need our help. To raise money for the victims of the recent earthquake, stars from around the globe are joining forces for the telethon "Hope for Haiti Now," hoping to bring aid to a nation in need. U2, Wyclef Jean, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Madonna, Shakira, Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake, Coldplay are just a few of the world-renowned artists taking part in the broadcast, which begins on Friday at 8/7c. After the broadcast, which will be on several channels, you'll be able to watch segments of the show on MTV.com.
