Hollywood finally came together on the set of Larry King Live this evening to host "Disaster in the Gulf: How You Can Help" Celebrities like Edward James Olmos, Kathy Griffith, Gavin Rossdale, Ryan Seacrest, and Alyssa Milano. Including Ian Somerhalder who has been spending every moment in between promotion for Season 2 of "The Vampire Diaries" filming PSA's, doing interviews and tweeting up a storm to spread awareness and help the families and wildlife being affected by this disaster.
In only two hours, America raised more than $1.3 million dollars and counting. I don't know about you, but that sure does make me feel proud to be a member of this country. Americans have always had a great capacity to unite when disaster strikes, and this is no exception. Money is being donated to three different foundations: United Way, The Nature Conservatory and National Wildlife Fund.
With hurricane season just around the corner, I can't even imagine the further damage that this oil can cause when it is carried on land, after already affecting fisherman, the seafood industry and the local wildlife. With BP and the government lacking in giving the aide that is needed, it us being left up to the rest of us to clean up this mess.
Phone lines will be open until 2am. Call and donate, even if it's just a dollar, because it can go a long way!
1-800-491-4853 and tweet #CNNHelpGulf to spread awareness!!
