Celebrities Donate Millions to Relief
[size=-1]Associated Press[/size]
Celebrities across the globe were mobilizing to help relief efforts in countries in southern Asia and eastern Africa affected by the deadly earthquake and tsunamis.
Leonardo DiCaprio, who filmed "The Beach" on the now-ravaged Thai island Phi Phi, donated an undisclosed amount to UNICEF, and set up a link on his Web site for others to donate.
The tsunami has been "devastating, absolutely devastating," the actor told a news conference Tuesday to promote "The Aviator" in Italy. "It is a horrific, horrific situation for all involved."
Country singer Willie Nelson was headlining a benefit concert Sunday night at the Austin Music Hall. Local musician Michael Hall organized the event, wanting to do more than just write a check after watching news reports of the tragedy.
"I started at the top," said Hall of his first call to build a lineup, "and when Willie said, 'Count me in,' I knew we were off and running."
Folk singers Patty Griffin, Spoon and Joe Ely were also slated to perform. Proceeds of tickets for the concert at the 3,000-capacity Music Hall were to be donated to UNICEF and Doctors Without Borders.
"Miss Congeniality" actress Sandra Bullock donated $1 million to the American Red Cross, and NBC Universal cable is holding a celebrity telethon Jan. 15.
The hour-long program was set to air live on the East Coast and in tape delay in the West at 8 p.m. Details on performers were not announced. The special would be shown on the NBC network and on the USA, Bravo, Trio, Sci-Fi, MSNBC and CNBC channels.
Phone lines would remain open throughout the evening for donations, NBC Universal said. Clear Channel has agreed to promote the special on its radio stations nationwide.
Overseas, the classic charity theme song "We Are the World," was being revived for relief efforts by Chinese celebrities including Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, and Jacky Cheung. The latest rendition, called "Love," has new Chinese lyrics. Those performers, along with William Hung of "American Idol" fame, raised nearly $6.2 million at a weekend show.
India's leading classical musicians were performing on Friday in Bombay through the night to raise funds.
But, officials say, the average citizen is doing the bulk of the giving.
"We've never seen anything like this before," said UNICEF spokeswoman Marissa Buckanoff. "In one day last week we received more online donations that we have received in all of 2003."
UNICEF has already received more than $20 million in aid from U.S. citizens. The Red Cross is up to more than $79 million, and Oxfam is at $12 million.
The death toll around the Indian Ocean rim from the Dec. 26 killer earthquake and tsunami approached 140,000. Searchers all but gave up hope of finding more survivors, with authorities saying that thousands listed as missing were presumed dead. The world turned its full attention to getting food and water to the living.
