IF HE GETS TEEN AND TWEEN GIRLS TO TUNE IN...

I don't mean to be snarky when it comes to a benefit concert/telethon for such an extremely important cause, but which one of these announced guests for tonight's Hope For Haiti (live at 8pm ET) seems a little bit out of place?

Wyclef Jean, George Clooney, CNN's Anderson Cooper, President Bill Clinton, Ben Stiller, Brad Pitt, Chris Rock, Clint Eastwood, Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Jon Stewart, Julia Roberts, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Meryl Streep, Morgan Freeman, Nicole Kidman, Robert Pattinson, Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Hanks, Will Smith, Muhammad Ali, among many others.

Meanwhile, the musical component is rock solid and features many of the philanthropical artists who always seem to come through in times like these: Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys, Stevie Wonder, Bono, Sheryl Crow and Sting. It's comforting when great tragedy brings out the best in people.

Ok, admittedly I'm a Rob Pattinson fan, but you have to at least give it to him that he lent his considerable star power to the telethon. He's much more of a draw than Will Smith is these days.

Will Smith's career is starting to confuse me. Why is his son in the new Karate Kid?
