PopEater reported today that Kanye West was banned from George Clooney’s big celebrity telethon, but that turned out to be a rumor. Kanye was in fact invited, according to MTV reps, he just didn’t respond. Oh. That’s fine. I’m sure he’s got t-shirts to wear and sunglasses to take on and off but to mostly keep on. So that’s one person for sure we know is not going. Who is going to be there?
George Clooney organized the event and personally donated 1 million dollars of his own money. According to USWeekly, you can also tune in to see the following:
President Bill Clinton, Brad Pitt, Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Clint Eastwood, Leonardo DiCaprio, Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Jon Stewart, Will Smith with Muhammad Ali, Robert Pattinson, Tom Hanks and more.
Among the performers: Madonna, Beyonce, Wyclef Jean, Bruce Springsteen, Jennifer Hudson, Mary J. Blige, Shakira, Sting, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, Dave Matthews, John Legend, Justin Timberlake, Sheryl Crow, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Kid Rock, Sheryl Crow, Coldplay, Bono, The Edge, Jay-Z and Rihanna.
You will not be able to miss this thing if you have a television. It’s going to be airing on all of the major networks and several cable stations, including MTV, E!, Comedy Central and Bravo! You’ll also be able to tune in online for free when it’s airing or purchase the recording of the telethon in iTunes after the fact.
Oh, and if you can’t remember why Kanye’s involvement in the telethon was questionable, check out this from the celebrity telethon they had to benefit New Orleans a few years ago:
NEVER FORGET.
