Stars Come Together For "We Are The World"

We Are The World Haiti Kanye West Amber Rose HollywoodHaiti charity We Are The World

Celine Dion, Kanye West, Usher, Enrique Iglesias, Keith Urban, Nicole Scherzinger, Josh Groban, Barbra Streisand and many others came out yesterday to Jim Henson Recording Studios on La Brea to do a remake of the 1985 all-star hit "We Are The World."

The original recording featured Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Billy Joel and Willie Nelson among others, and it was produced by Quincy Jones, who also organized the gathering yesterday. The first recording raised $63 million, so here's to hoping the remake will be able to double or triple that number for fundraising efforts for Haiti.

The new version will premiere on February 12 during the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics on NBC.

So who all showed up? Click the gallery below to see stars arriving and leaving at the legendary recording studio!



Good to see them rallying to help Haiti!

Posted by: Why is The Haiti Government detaining Americans ?

The Haiti Leaders have an Alliance with Anti-Usa leaders like Hugo Chavez , Fidel Castro. The 'Cuban Style' government in Haiti have stole over 2 Billion in Aid over the years. Recently , Hugo Chavez Ally (Correa) held a press conference with Haiti's Rene Preval , Insulting Usa based charities. CONCLUSION: Based on Haiti's Anti- USa past ,recent Haiti government remarks & regional alliances , The Americans being Held by Haiti's Government are POLITICAL PRISONERS , as the USA does nothing.
