MTV’s “Hope for Haiti” television special will air commercial-free this Friday, January 22nd at 8pm on MTV, CNN, VH1 and most every other major network.  Jay-Z, Bono, Bruce Springsteen and Coldplay are among the 100-plus stars who will appear on the show.

Jay-Z and U2 will perform a song at a London venue for the special, which will be available for purchase on iTunes soon, reports MTV.  The event will be co-hosted by George Clooney, Anderson Cooper and Wyclef Jean.

Expect performances from Dave Matthews Band, Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys, Sting, Christina Aguilera, Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Jennifer Hudson and Mary J. Blige.  Springsteen, Coldplay, Taylor Swift, Shakira and Rihanna will also be participating in the event.  MTV reports that more than 100 stars have signed on to the special.

All of the proceeds raised will go towards Oxfam America, Partners in Health, Red Cross, UNICEF and Wycelf’s Yele Haiti Foundation.

The special sounds like a great effort by the celebrity community, and hopefully it will raise an awesome amount of money to help those suffering in Haiti.  Remember, it airs tomorrow night at 8pm ET/PT and you should be able to catch it on several networks.
