Nicole Kidman has donated $250,000 to Haiti.
The actress was one of five actors to promise the Caribbean island $50,000-a-year over the next five years to help the people of Haiti rebuild their lives. Who else made the pledge?
Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem, Gerard Butler, and Daniel Craig.
The money will go to the Artists for Peace and Justice’s Haiti relief fund.
The donations were made during a fund-raising bash held by filmmaker Paul Haggis – who also founded the charity.
Paul – who worked on ‘Terminator Salvation’, ‘Quantum of Solace’ and ‘Casino Royale’ – has pledged to spend every penny donated on emergency relief and on the purchase of much-needed medical supplies.
How wonderful!!
Geez, that’s ubnleievbale. Kudos and such.

Great! The more the better, those poeple will need all the help they could get. I wish i could donate that much money.
Nice picture of Javier by the way. Thanks!
FYI, all the millions donated is NOT going to the people of Haiti. There are lots of children still wondering the streets, people are still starving and wondering around for food. People are fighting each other for bags of food. Just this morning in the news, it was reported that some people were almost crushed when aid workers started throwing bags of food. Everyone was screaming and pushing just to get a bag. In just fifteen minutes they ran out of bags. WHY? how can you run out of bags of food when you know there are thousands of people needing these supplies? All the millions collected are not going to reach those people. The Red Cross and all those other organization put all those millions in an account where they “dip” into. Some of the money is used to buy the essentials, but the millions donated is not and will not be used for the people of Haiti. It looks great in the public eye; so much money for Haiti, but out of millions only a few thousand is used.
I can believe this. Something similar was exposed after 9/11 when the Red Cross was going to take some of the donations and funnel it elsewhere. There was such a public outcry that they didn’t. I imagine their website now has some sort of fine print saying that not all money donated for Haiti will go towards that.
