While many stars are following the lead of George Clooney and Wyclef Jean and contributing their time and hard work to relief efforts in Haiti, there's one young star you won't see getting her hands dirty.
Haiti's native son, Wyclef Jean has been raising money and awareness for Haiti for a long time. Now, after the earthquake, he has returned home, helping to pull bodies from the wreckage yesterday.
He's called upon the government to declare a state of emergency. He has described the conditions in Port-au-Prince as "the apocalypse."
Celebrities take to Twitter to share their heartfelt emotions about the passing of Michael Jackson.

The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless."
Matt Damon and Wyclef Jean delivered food to hurricane victims in Haiti this weekend in the hopes their celebrity would bring attention to the devastation Ike wreaked on the small, impoverished island where Wyclef was born and raised.
“Hopefully we can make enough noise that people will pay attention,” Damon said while handing out bags of rice and beans to hundreds of needy Haitians. “I truly believe in the people in my country.”
The body of a 24-year-old woman who attended a birthday party for the rapper Lil’ Kim on Sunday was found Wednesday on the roof of the Midtown karaoke club where the party was held according to the NYPD. The woman, identified as Ingrid Rivera of Queens, was discovered in a utility closet on the roof of Spotlight Live after apparently being beaten with a blunt object — possibly a Champagne bottle — and left for dead.
That’s awful and scary.
