I'm sure this will stink equally as bad as Band-Aid, Live Aid, No Nukles, We are the World, and the pathetic songs post 9-11.

[Aussie Dasher]

"Flamboyant"....is that a Pommie word for poofta?

[Mears]

I AM SUFFERING FROM A SEVERE CASE OF TSUNAMI "COMPASSION FATIGUE".

Sorry for yelling!!!!!!

[expatguy]

Too bad the victims won't get any of it.

An American Expat in Southeast Asia

[pissant]

Yell away. Its good therapy.

[pissant]

"Too bad the victims won't get any of it".

But Boy George and other has-beens will be in the spotlight again. That's good, right??

[steplock]

here we go with all the xxxx-aid groups feel-good do-nothing concerts.

The only people that benefit are the artists (advertising=money) promoters (money) RIAA (money) studios (money) concert halls (more money) EVERYBODY gets money!!

.... the poor and needy? hey! the hollywierdos feel your pain, shame there's no money left for you.

[pissant]

you mean poofer? At least that's the NW USA version of the word.

[zipcode101]

I am tired of this maudlin "one world " pandering myself. I say let us match the total aid of China and go home.17 dead Americans in not "flag at half staff " time.

[F16Fighter]

This just up on the AP line...

Alvin and the Chipmunks are also getting back together -- JUST in time for their own tsunami charity event.

I'm sorry I can't seem the provide the link...

[marmar]

All I have to say is at least they are trying....where is HOWood?????????

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

Billy-Boy George and "Robin" can get together backstage on Bugis St, LOL.

[expatguy]

The "We are the World" crowd is gonna milk this media darling for all she is worth.

[weegee]

Rock and Roll PING! email Weegee to get on/off this list (or grab it yourself to PING the rest)

Sandra Bullock gave a million dollars of her own money. These musicians donating a song and an appearance for fundraising don't impress me; their bank accounts aren't that red.

[pissant]

Where's George Michael when you need him to lend his gravitas to a project.

[Aussie Dasher]

It can be spelt either way. Always MEANS the same thing!

Are you telling me the Septics are finally latching on to a bit of Aussie lingo?

[LisaMalia]

I've heard that Sandra Bullock gave money, and some elephants from a movie pitched in to help, but what about the rest of the Hollywood elite? They really could make a difference, you know......

That is, if they are really sincere about giving all their money to the poor and downtrodden. I'm sure, since they don't care about the money, they can live on 28 grand a year, like I do.

I guess that only applies if it doesn't affect their lifestyles significantly.

So C'mon Hollywood liberals, put up (in a big way) OR SHUT UP!...and I don't mean through benefit concerts, I think they should drain their personal bank accounts for the relief effort.

Anyone else agree?

[pissant]

I guess so!

[537cant be wrong]

almost makes me yearn for a new twist in the laci petterson case just to get something other than KILLER WAVE
off the news. oh wait! someone in skidmore missouri may not have heard about it yet, and dug deeeeep into their pockets
to send aid!
and yes i already know i'm a cynical old basta*d. so what.

SUPPORT THE PATRIOT FUND!! NOT MUSLIMS!

[Mears]

JonBenet and Kobe woud be a relief at this point!
