“Hope For Haiti Now” – a global telethon.

“Hope For Haiti Now” is something of a first.  A global telethon that  will truly be seen worldwide.

CNN International will be airing the 2 hour telethon at 8pm ET / 5pm PT / 0100 GMT / 0200 CET.  It is also being aired internationally on National Geographic Channels around the world and MTV channels around the world, including China.

In Canada, the CBC and CTV are both airing the telethon.  So far, I have heard nothing about any UK or Irish terrestrial broadcasters taking the telethon.  US Local broadcasters, including affiliates of ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, The CW and PBS, are airing the telethon at 8pm local time, except in the Central time zone where it airs at 7pm. 

Any further news on broadcasters airing the telethon, I’ll let you know.

Veteran model makes rookie mistake.

I never cease to be stunned by the fact that someone who should know better makes statements like this and sound like complete jerks.  Take veteran model Lauren Hutton.  Digital Spy reports she has criticised the HBO hit show, and new movie "Sex In The City" for portraying single women as sluts, without having ever seen an episode!

Perhaps if she'd seen it, she wouldn't have made that comment.  Why comment you've never seen?  I will at least try and watch a show if I'm going to comment on it.  I did actually watch SATC and I enjoyed it.  I don't believe for one micro-second that it portrayed single women as sluts, rather that it showed the problems that we all experience when dating, both men and women.

Lauren, I have no doubt that you will never read this blog post, but if you did, I would say this; don't make a mistake like that one again.  Don't comment on something without watching it first.  It sounds unprofessional.
