Wyclef Jean and Mary J. Blige are Full of Hope for Haiti

The Insider — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 08:55:00 +0000

Wyclef Jean has tapped into his Haitian spirit by using music and festivities to shed light on the dire need for help and funds in his homeland. He was on hand for the launch of Hope, Help, & Relief Haiti in New York on Monday. Throughout his career, Wyclef has used his celebrity to bring awareness to the needs of Haiti, a nation that faced struggles even prior to the earthquake. Following this natural disaster, Wyclef found his “true destiny,” he told “The Insider.” Mary J. Blige, who performed a lot of songs from her vast catalogue, said, “You have to put yourself in their shoes and think if it was you, you would want people to come out in the same capacity and help you get out of the situation you’re in.” The images plastered throughout the media of the people struggling in Haiti have inspired Gayle King to be active in supporting recovery efforts. She also spoke about another tragedy–the death of Michael Jackson. On his physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, being charged with involuntary manslaughter earlier in the day, Gayle responded, “It just doesn’t make sense that Michael Jackson died at the age of 50…You want somebody to be held responsible for that. Whether this charge is correct, I don’t know enough about it.” Gayle was one of the select few lucky enough to be in the loop of the much-talked about Super Bowl commercial featuring Jay Leno, David Letterman, and her BFF Oprah Winfrey. She called it a “shockeroo” and reported to ET that, as an eyewitness to the top-secret shoot, “everybody played nicely.”
