Rihanna to Perform ‘Stranded’ in Haiti Telethon

Rihanna says she will perform a new song called “Stranded” with rapper Jay-Z and U2′s The Edge and Bono at Friday’s “Hope for Haiti” telethon in London.

During the taping of a Norwegian talk show in Oslo on Thursday, the R&B superstar said she feels drawn to the cause because of Haiti’s proximity to her home country of Barbados.

“In the Caribbean, we think of ourselves as one big family, one country,” Rihanna told the host of the show, Fredrik Skavlan. “We’re all together. We all represent each other.”

She said she felt “great sadness” when thinking about the humanitarian disaster that struck Haiti following a Jan. 12 earthquake.

“It’s like it happened to Barbados,” she said.

“Hope For Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief” will be an international event. Haitian native Wyclef Jean will anchor the show from New York, while George Clooney will do so from Los Angeles. Coldplay is also to perform from London.

The funds raised from the benefit will be donated to several relief organizations, including UNICEF, Oxfam America and Partners in Health.

I heard people saying that organizers are preventing Kanye from being apart of the hope for Hait concert… simply because he has no behavior.

Lu

@ 128. Tina..hey…i’m doing great,thanks…and how r ya?..
http:/yahoo.com bodacious.

@ rd you know i think that riri has got it and a lot of people needs to learn how to not fly off the handle so quick. practice self control, learn how to put on breaks with a quickness so that you will not end up over the cliff before you know it.. we all needs to learn how to lift each other up instead of tearing each other down so hard. if we try and do out part to support each other then we all will be blessed!!!!! :pissedoff:
