An all-star roster of film, TV and theater performers — including Steve Martin, Annette Bening, Billy Porter, Audra McDonald, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Chenoweth, David Hyde Pierce and Rosie Perez — have signed up for a 10-hour telethon to raise money for the victims of the war in Ukraine.

The “Stars in the House” special will air March 26 from noon-10 p.m. Eastern. It can be viewed and listened to on the series’ site (https://www.starsinthehouse.com), the “Stars in the House” YouTube channel, as well as SiriusXM Stars109.

Just some of the other performers included are “SCTV” veterans Martin Short, Catherine O’Hara, Eugene Levy and Andrea Martin, as well as Tituss Burgess, Kelli O’Hara, Donna Murphy, Annaleigh Ashford, Jessie Mueller, Josh Groban, Judith Light, John Stamos, Lindsay Mendez, Laura Benanti, Norman Lear, Betty Buckley, Mandy Patinkin, Rachel Bloom, Patrick Wilson, Shoshana Bean, James Monroe Iglehart, Brittney Johnson, Santino Fontana, Judy Kuhn and Norbert Leo Butz.

The event also hopes to feature Ukrainians, including Oleg Karpenko, a Ukrainian theater and film actor who co-started with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in “Servant of the People.”

I think they should go to the Ukraine and help out instead. Really show their dedication and commitment. Even donate some of their own millions. They should be able to come up with a hundred million on their lonesome.

Not one of those ‘celebrities’ would defend a Christian conservative Prolife MAGA point of view or moral lifestyle

If they want to use THEIR money ( which I doubt).....go for it.

Otherwise it’s just hypocritical virtue signaling!

The names are familiar. Most have promoted (Russian) communism before. NONE have celebrated American freedoms or American liberty. Ever.

“Stars” in the House as a name for a fundraiser? In the end it’s always about themselves and how special they think they are.

Happily, I’m out of this particular loop. I’ve only heard of 3 or 4 of these “celebrities”.

All the very people I hate seem gung ho for this war, Which just reaffirms my belief we need to end this war as quickly as possible. Order Zalensky to sign off on a peace agreement and be done with it.

It’s gotta have the occasional Jerry Lewis “Tympani” updates, or I’m out.
