I am a bit pressed for this p.m., but I wanted to post a blog entry in support of Ben Stiller's charity StillerStrong, which has been promoted on "The Tonight with Conan O'Brien."
I noticed the night when news broke about the earthquake in Haiti that Stiller tweeted his support and he has not let up ever since.
Other celebrities helping out include George Clooney, Susan Sarandon, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Actress Ashely Judd held a charity dinner with the University of Kentucky's basketball coach John Calipari in Lexington, Ky., which raised funds for the relief efforts in Haiti.
So far, StillerStrong has raised $131,013.
Here is a part of Stiller's mission statement for his charity:
"It's heart-breaking to see the images coming out of Haiti. The people there need our immediate help. I was there last year for the first time, and was struck by the amazing spirit and culture of the people and place, and the extreme hardship these people faced and that was before the recent tragedy."
A sister entry regarding Haiti is on our sister blog "Politics, Culture and Other Wastes of Time."

Undersea earthquake is really horrible, so many people were killed, and many people have been displaced, hoping to resume as soon as possible.NFL Shop
