US Celebrities Rally to the Cause
Stars including Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts and Will Smith will take part in an unprecedented US TV telethon that will be broadcast on all the major networks this Friday.
Further to the news that Michael Jackson is producing a charity single to aid victims of last week's terrorist attacks, a host of celebrities are to appear in an unprecedented US TV telethon. Stars including Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts and Will Smith will take part in America: A Tribute to Heroes this Friday.
The two-hour special will be aired without commercials on all six of the US's major networks as well as a large contingent of cable networks. All money raised will go toward relief efforts relating to last week's attacks.
Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Jim Carrey and Bruce Springsteen have confirmed they are to appear. They will be joining Bon Jovi, Sheryl Crow, the Dixie Chicks, Robert De Niro, Clint Eastwood, Faith Hill, Billy Joel, Alicia Keys, Tom Petty, Paul Simon, Robin Williams, Stevie Wonder and Neil Young.
Other celebrities have been keen to help in whatever way they can. Daniel Day-Lewis and Robin Williams were among people who gave blood. Robert DeNiro delivered meals from his Tribeca Grill restaurant to rescue crews working around the ruined towers, and William Baldwin joined New York Knicks basketball player Charlie Ward in a visit to a fire station to console relatives of the dead.
The Walt Disney Company has donated more than £3.4m to organizations responding to the US terrorist attacks. The family of Disney chief executive officer Michael Eisner have also donated £700,000 from the Eisner Foundation.
• Director Woody Allen, who will not be appearing in the Telethon - he's in Europe promoting his latest film - spoke out yesterday, counseling caution.
"It won't do anyone any good if American hits back with exaggerated military force," he said in an interview with Germany's Die Welt newspaper.
"I'm fully aware that there has to be a response to these attacks, but a military attack should be the final means after all other means have been exhausted," Allen said. "It's important to root out the causes of this hatred."
Allen said he and many other New Yorkers had long been expecting some sort of guerrilla attack on the city. "Most thought there would be some sort of bomb attack in the subway," he said. "But not something like this. We used to make jokes about it. I even made jokes about it."
