Nick Cannon Wants You to 'Do Something' for Haiti

By Amber James Posted Jan 17th 2010 10:00AM

PopEater had the awesome opportunity to hang out with Nick Cannon while he filmed his upcoming DoSomething.org PSA to urge teens that "going green is sexy." He's a total riot and so down-to-Earth. He took time to chat about the crisis in Haiti (and why he wants you to get involved) as well as joke about Mariah Carey's "tipsy" award show speeches. Will there be a round 3 at the Golden Globes on Sunday? Cannon hopes so. Guess we'll have to wait and see, but until then, check out PopEater's exclusive interview and behind-the-scenes photos. And be sure to check back soon to see his official Increase Your Green PSA video.

Nick Cannon joins a chorus of other celebrities and entertainment companies to urge help for survivors of the disaster:

► George Clooney is hosting a telethon to raise funds for victims of the earthquake in Haiti.
► Tiger Woods, reportedly donating $3 million to Wyclef Jean's Yele Haiti relief fund.
► Lady Gaga will donate all the profits from her Jan. 24 concert in New York to the Haiti relief fund.
► Gisele Bundchen, $1.5 million to the Red Cross.
► Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, $1 million to Doctors Without Borders.
► The Hollywood Foreign Press, the group behind the Golden Globes, $100,000 to Yele Haiti.
► Walt Disney Co., $100,000 to the Red Cross.

Vote down Vote up Report this

well, I never heard of Nick Cannon before. Thank God for another tragedy so he can get his just publicity.

the writer of this article sure thinks he's something, though, "...awesome opportunity to hang out with Nick Cannon. He's a total riot and so down-to-Earth."

I would like to do something to help Haiti, like droping an atom bomb on their useless asses . Screw haiti. The world will send 10 billion in aid and the people will receive fifty bucks. The politicians and military will keep the rest.

If you was not so dumb you would know how to spell colored...why would a person say something so stupid?

America needs help more so than anyone. I only have one question for the U.S.A. where are we getting the 100 million dollars to send them. If we are in debt up to our eyeballs and don't have money for our fellow Americans where will we dig this 100 million dollars and then some up.

Lets make Haita a state or bring them all to america We got all kinds of money Why don't the rich really give for a change People look for what those in the administration give out of their own pocket The nmbers as always will be LOW their idea is to give our money so be watchful for when they say WE got to do something um that means YOU

WHENEVER CELEBS GIVE THEIR MONIES TO CAUSES, THEY DO SO WITH SUCH FLARE....

We are a giving country,but it is time for americans to step back and start taking care of our own.We all are struggling,from making sense of the economy,to those without jobs,lost homes,and hunger.
I for one am tired of the struggle,i have worked for the last 45 years and have nothing to show for it.when there was a need i gave to it,the charities i continue to give to.
i have known hunger and homelessness,i donot want to experience it again.
Amereica,our struggles are here,my heart goes out to haitian people,but we cannot afford to continue giving when our needs are at there worst in our own country.
Let all those who have the money do so,but not at the expense of asking us to give what we no longer have left
