Over 83 million people tuned in last Friday night (Jan 22) to catch the Hope for Haiti Now telethon, which aired live and commercial-free on several major networks and was also streamed real-time online. The effort was spearheaded by MTV Networks, actor George Clooney and rapper/singer Wyclef Jean (who is from Haiti himself) in an effort to raise awareness and relief for the troubled country of Haiti, who suffered a massive earthquake earlier this month. According to recent numbers, over $61 million in pledges were made by members of the general public. Organizers will continue to take contributions for the next six months.

Celebrities who helped out by either performing or taking phone calls from pledges (or both) included Jay-Z, Rihanna, Bono from U2, Taylor Swift, Denzel Washington, Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson and tons more.

Kimora Lee and Djimon Honsou, armed with their new son Kenzo Lee, are featured on the cover of the February 2010 issue of Ebony Magazine.

In the issue, the couple, who tied the knot last Spring at a commitment ceremony in Africa, discuss how they met and how they make their non-traditional marriage work. The newlyweds also talked about a few other things, including their family life and how supportive Russell Simmons (Kimora’s first husband and the father of her two daughers) has been of their relationship. Check out some excerpts from their cover story below…

DJIMON ON THE NIGHT THEY MET: “She turned around and said, ‘Hi, my name is Kimora Lee,’ and I said ‘Right, you don’t need to introduce yourself. I am quite aware of who you are.’…We were having a deep conversation about our families, about kids, about this and that…And then the eyes meet….and I realized, there’s so much more to her. I never thought she would be as grounded as she seemed that night…As I was giving her my number, I said, ‘Well, I hope you would enjoy the number for something other than your fashion shows or get-togethers or parties…First thing in the morning, I sent her a text. I wanted to catch her because she was to leave and go back to New York. I wanted to get, as we say, a good conversation in before she took off. I sent a text and said, ‘Hey, if you are up for dinner…’ And that’s how we started it. I said to her, ‘You’re one very successful woman. You have it great. You have two kids. You are married to one of the most iconic men in the world (Kimora and Russell were separated before she and Djimon met). What else could you need? Or want?’ I was much more skeptical of where she was coming from than I was about what I had to offer. I realized that she was looking for a great foundation as far as relationships are concerned and that really hit me. No woman has ever made me feel the way she makes me feel. She makes me dream big.”

I just got finished watching Push…… Not what I was expecting. I mean I have a fatal attraction to movies so I’ll watch just about any of them, but this one is pushing it… The plot takes a while to develop and characters pop up all over the place. Honestly the whole “superhuman race” and “being hunted by some super secret agency” reminded me of “Jumper.” I found myself drifting in and out of consciousness during this movie, though the actors did do a good job in making the film actually worthwhile and a bit bearable.

Djimon Hounsou, Dakota Fanning, the always sexy Ming-Na, and Chris Evans all gave outstanding performances. It just goes to show that a good movie needs both a good plot as well as a good cast. Don’t get me wrong the film was decent but that’s it. It was jus “decent.” So if you have nothing else to do with one of your evenings, why not watch it? It’d probably be a good waste of time. That being so, I gotta give this one a 5.5/10.
