Help for Haiti–Updated!
Variety notes that Hollywood is supporting relief efforts in Haiti, with telethons involving everyone from George Clooney to Bono and donations in the millions pouring in.
On the East Coast, “Gabriel Byrne, Terry George, and others have organized a “Rebuild Haiti” fundraiser in New York for Thursday night to benefit Concern Worldwide and the Edeyo Foundation.”
Read the article. Kudos to Mr. Byrne, Susan Sarandon, Terry George, Alan Cumming, and everyone who is supporting this event and helping Haiti!
Thanks to Ann for the heads up.
Update: here is more information about the benefit, thanks to Lara!

Sam, one of the items up for auction tonight is a Usual Suspects “line-up” photo signed by all five suspects along with a signed copy of the script.
