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."

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.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
