			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After being dragged through the media for financial discrepancies, Wyclef Jean's “Yele Haiti” is getting help from new financial advisors.</p>
<p>As previously <a href="http://hiphopwired.com/2010/01/16/is-wyclef-short-changing-his-yele-charity-organization/" target="_blank">reported</a>, the organization was reported as having issues with tax evasion and Wyclef was even accused of using funds raised for personal gain.</p>
<p>Now after the controversy, Yele Haiti is receiving aid of its own from the prestigious accounting firm <span id="more-25421"></span>RSM McGladrey.</p>
<p>RSM McGladrey will be in charge of the donations pledged to Yele through the 501501 text messaging service.</p>
<p>Yele is assuring contributors that any funds received related to the Haiti earthquake will be used solely to help earthquake victims.</p>
<p>Yele Haiti sponsored a plane with emergency supplies that left Miami for Haiti Saturday.</p>
<p>Wyclef also participated in George Clooney's "Hope For Haiti" telethon Friday.</p>
<p>The telethon was shown on major broadcasting networks in the U.S. and Canada with a reach of over 640 million homes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Internet was abuzz yesterday with news that Kanye West had been banned from the “Hope For Haiti” star studded telethon.</p>
<p>Now however, representatives for MTV Networks are vehemently denying those claims saying they're “absolutely not true.”</p>
<p>As previously <a href="http://hiphopwired.com/2010/01/21/kanye-west-banned-from-telethon-to-help-haiti/" target="_blank">reported</a>, a source released a statement saying that Yeezy was banned because of his tendency to “steal the spotlight and the infamous remarks about George Bush he made at the Katrina telethon.</p>
<p>They told<span id="more-25249"></span> AOL's <em>PopEater</em>,</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“</strong><strong>After what he said on the Katrina telethon and the way he behaved at the MTV Video Music Awards, everyone agrees it's just best that he does not participate…Kanye has to make everything about himself.  He will do anything to steal the spotlight, and, well, this night it's just not about him.”</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>MTV Networks claims however that that's not the case and while remaining skimp on details, a representative told <em>US Magazine </em>that an invitation was extended,</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“That's absolutely not true. We DID reach out to Kanye.”</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>The statement holds true to what many other news outlets are reporting, that Kanye was not snubbed out of an invite but that he chose not to participate.</p>
<p>Classy.</p>
<p>While the telethon will not include Ye, it will include some of the biggest names in entertainment via George Clooney who organized the event.</p>
<p>Celebrity participants include Jay-Z, Beyonce, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, U2, Coldplay, Madonna, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson and Wyclef Jean.</p>
<p>It will be televised on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CNN, BET, The CW, HBO, MTV, VH1, CMT, PBS, TNT, Showtime, COMEDY CENTRAL, Bravo and E!  as well as online and mobile platforms at 8 PM tonight.</p>
<p>Donations for “Hope For Haiti” will be accepted starting at 12 p.m.</p>
<p>To donate you can visit <a href="http://www.hopeforhaitinow.org/">www.hopeforhaitinow.org </a>, call the Hope For Haiti hotline at 877-99-HAITI or text “give” to 50555.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As Haiti continues to suffer after being hit with a 6.1 earthquake this morning, more artists are mobilizing to help the nation in peril.</p>
<p>Two of the latest to do so are Jay-Z and his protégé Rihanna who will participate in the “Hope For Haiti” telethon.</p>
<p>Organized by George Clooney, “Hope For Haiti” is set to be the largest benefit yet with three different locations in Los Angeles, New York and London.</p>
<p>The telethon in London will unite Jay-Z and Rihanna for a performance with<span id="more-24913"></span> Bono of U2 and Coldplay.</p>
<p>The artists will be performing a Haiti tribute song titled "Haiti Mon Amour" produced by Swizz Beatz.</p>
<p>George Clooney himself will host the Los Angeles segment of the program joined by Stevie Wonder,  Alicia Keys, John Legend, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake and Taylor Swift.</p>
<p>Haiti's unofficial ambassador and the founder of Yele Haiti, Wyclef Jean, will host the New York segment appearing alongside Jennifer Hudson, Bruce Springsteen and Shakira.</p>
<p>The “Hope For Haiti” telethon airs live Friday on MTV UK.</p>
