CELEBRITIES AND HAITI

In light of the tragic events that took place in Haiti, it’s refreshing to see so many people reach out to the impoverished country. Many celebrities have taken an interest in helping out. Among the celebrities reported to donate or raise money are Wyclef Jean, George Clooney, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Gisele Bundchen. American Red Cross has teamed up with Entertainment Tonight to help. In case you are still leery of the Red Cross since the Hurricane Katrina fiasco (like me), you can always donate to Wyclef’s Yele Haiti Foundation (www.looktothestars.com).

TEDDY’S GONE

Yesterday, I was listening to the radio when Teddy Pendergrass’ Love T.K.O came on. I’ve always loved that song because not only is the beat great but the analogy is so profound and true. He created a powerful imagery of what it’s like to think you’ve found love and find out that you have to throw in the towel AGAIN. It’s a feat that not many artists accomplish today. It is missed and Teddy will be missed.
