Celebrities have really been stepping up to help Haiti earthquake victims. We’ve heard of telephone marathons, fundraisers, and even musical collaborations. Now it’s Jessica Simpson’s turn.

The 29-year-old popstar is trying to get people to donate 50,000 pairs of shoes in 50 days for the survivors of the Haiti earthquake. The drive is in collaboration with her hairstylist Ken Paves, her best friend and personal assistant Cacee Cobb, and Nashville foundation Soles4Souls.

Jessica recently tweeted:

She also posted a link to her fund drive’s official website, 50000shoes.com where supporters can check out how the can help out. “As little as $5 (that’s the price of a venti frap, by the way) provides two pairs of shoes,” the website said.

In an effort to reach out to the victims of the Haiti earthquake, John Travolta is flying one of his private jets from Florida to the third-world country on Monday night. The 55-year-old actor, a licensed pilot who started taking flying lessons when he was 15, will bring relief supplies to the victims with the help of his wife Kelly Preston and Scientology doctors and volunteers.

“I have arranged for a plane to take down some volunteer ministers and some supplies and some medics,” he told ET. “My church has also arranged for 80 medics and 33 volunteers to go down. I hope it inspires others.”

Another Song For Haiti

It looks like Lionel Richie isn’t the only one who’s producing a star-studded song to benefit Haiti earthquake victims. American Idol’s Simon Cowell is organizing a celebrity record as well.

“We are going to do a single. I wanted to do something for Haiti, and we had a request from the Prime Minister to put a record together,” he told reporters at the National Television Awards in London last Wednesday.

He is working with singers such as Susan Boyle, Michael Bublé, Rod Stewart, and Leona Lewis to sing REM’s ballad “Everybody Hurts.” Just like Lionel Richie’s upcoming “We Are The World” remake, all proceeds of Simon’s production will go to Haiti earthquake victims.

Which Haiti-benefit single would you purchase, “We Are The World” or “Everybody Hurts?”

Lionel Richie Remakes “We Are The World” For Haiti

by

Remember this famous 1985 video? “We Are The World” was written by Quincy Jones with the late Michael Jackson, and single’s proceeds went to African famine relief. The music video featured an all-star cast, including Lionel Richie, Diana Ross, Bruce Springsteen, Bette Midler, Bob Dylan, Cyndi Lauper, and Billy Joel. The recording took place during the American Music Awards on January 28, 1985.

According to Wenn, Lionel Richie plans to re-team with Quincy Jones to produce a 2010 remake of “We Are The World,” this time for the benefit of Haiti earthquake victims.

I wonder which musicians they’re tapping for the remake. I’d love to see Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson, and Beyonce, to name a few.

Scarlett Johansson Is Auctioning Herself

Scarlett Johansson Attends 'Mango New Collection Launch Party' in Madrid

…for a good cause. To help the victims of Haiti, the 25-year-old actress is auctioning herself—or to be more specific, she is auctioning off the chance for four people (and no, you don’t necessarily have to be a guy!) to meet her at the opening night of her new Broadway play, A View from the Bridge, on January 24 at the Cort Theatre in New York City.

I kid you not! Check out the official eBay entry here.

It’s very simple; the winner of the charity auction gets four tickets, so he/she can bring three other people to meet Scarlett. According to Yahoo!, the proceeds will go straight to Oxfam’s Haiti Earthquake Response Fund.

Last time I checked, the bid was at $2,225. Do I hear a $2,250? Do I hear a $2,300? Going once, going twice…
