• Rihanna is a trending topic on twitter!

Rihanna says she will perform a new song called “Stranded” with rapper Jay-Z and U2’s The Edge and Bono at Friday’s “Hope for Haiti” telethon in London.

During the taping of a Norwegian talk show in Oslo on Thursday, the R&B superstar said she feels drawn to the cause because of Haiti’s proximity to her home country of Barbados.

“In the Caribbean, we think of ourselves as one big family, one country,” Rihanna told the host of the show, Fredrik Skavlan. “We’re all together. We all represent each other.”

She said she felt “great sadness” when thinking about the humanitarian disaster that struck Haiti following a Jan. 12 earthquake.

“It’s like it happened to Barbados,” she said.

“Hope For Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief” will be an international event. Haitian native Wyclef Jean will anchor the show from New York, while George Clooney will do so from Los Angeles. Coldplay is also to perform from London.

The funds raised from the benefit will be donated to several relief organizations, including UNICEF, Oxfam America and Partners in Health.

We are looking for HUGE fans of Rihanna to be a part of this event! If you live in the South Beach area and are interested in receiving complimentary casted tickets to this concert, Please read below!

The horrible earthquake in Haiti has put out a worldwide call for action and aid. There are numerous reputable charities working to get aid to the devastated country, while disaster relief teams from the US and elsewhere on their way, and others already in place.

Musician Wyclef Jean’s Yele Haiti has set up a texting donation program; by texting “Yele” to 501501 you can donate $5 or visit www.Yele.org and click “Donate.” Jean told The Insider

Haiti today faced a natural disaster of unprecedented proportion, an earthquake unlike anything the country has ever experienced. I cannot stress enough what a human disaster this is, and idle hands will only make this tragedy worse. The over 2 million people in Port-au-Prince tonight face catastrophe alone. We must act now.

Unik Ernest, a New York nightlife entrepreneur whose whose Edeyo Foundation has built a school and provides meals, books and libraries for children in Port Au Prince told Tonic.com that his famous friends like Mark Wahlbergand Tommy Hilfiger

called him and offered “to support any initiative (Edeyo is) planning at this moment,”

Ernest also claims he’s planning a telethon and a benefit concert

tentatively scheduled for the first two weeks of February. Celebrities he says will be involved include: Rihanna, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ashton Kutcher, Usher, John Legend, Mariah Carey, Jamie Foxx, Wyclef Jean, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Kerri Washington, Susan Sarandon and others.

I’ll take a wait and see on that. That energy, effort and money for setting up a concert and telethon could go directly to charities like Save the Children, Unicef, and The Red Cross which also has a texting program in place– you can donate $10 to help rescue Haitians by texting the word HAITI to 90999 — and a $10 charge will show up on your phone bill.

Rihanna Daily has already donated, now it’s your turn!
