George Clooney to host an MTV telethon in aid of Haiti

Clooney became the latest celebrity to lend his weight to the fundraising effort by agreeing to host an event on the MTV Network on Friday which will involve a bevy of stars, several reports said.

MTV was not immediately available to confirm the reports.

But a spokesperson told the Hollyscoop website: "I can confirm that George Clooney is working with MTV Networks to plan a Haiti relief telethon for next Friday, but those are the only details we can share at the moment.

"It's all still coming together."

News of Clooney's fundraising efforts came as power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie donated one million dollars to Doctors Without Borders for the organization's operations in Haiti.

"It is incredibly horrible to see a catastrophe of this size hit a people who have been suffering from extreme poverty, violence and unrest for so many decades," Jolie said in a statement released to People.com.
