news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4228940.stm Printable version 'No politics' in Katrina telethon Kanye West Kanye West criticised President Bush during an earlier benefit A one-hour telethon has been aired by six major US television networks to raise funds for the survivors of Hurricane Katrina. Artists such as U2, Sheryl Crow, the Dixie Chicks and rapper Kanye West p erformed at TV studios in New York and Los Angeles. The programme steered clear of politics and focussed on fundraising, says the BBC's Peter Bowes in Los Angeles. Donations will go to the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army. "All across the Gulf coast some babies are still separated from their par ents," said former Friends star Jennifer Aniston in her appeal. "These children will need a life time of support - support that you and I can begin to provide right now. No cuts Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman said that watching Katrina's "brutal d efacement of our Gulf coast and the tragedy of New Orleans" had been "di fficult to endure", and asked viewers to donate generously. Ahead of the show, producer Joel Gallen announced no special precautions would be taken to edit political statements. He added that the Shelter From the Storm telethon would be shown with a s tandard 30-second delay to guard against obscenities. During last week's New York benefit concert, West broke from the script t o say: "George Bush doesn't care about black people." He also claimed the US was not set up "to help the poor, the black people , the less well-off". Friday's telethon featured musicians Alicia Keys, Randy Newman, Paul Simo n, Rod Stewart and Neil Young. Actresses Cameron Diaz and Ellen DeGeneres, and actors Jack Nicholson, Ch ris Rock and Ray Romano also appeared. |
