About a month has now passed since a horrifying earthquake struck Haiti, destroyed countless buildings and have left thousands dead. The country is still in need of medical supplies, food, water and cash for relocation purposes. The outreach from both average Americans and celebrities has been unprecedented, and the support continues. On Monday night, Mary J. Blige performed at a benefit she helped co-organize with fashion icons Andre Harrell, Donna Karan and Andre Balazs. At the Standard Hotel in New York, Blige took the stage (along with Wyclef Jean) and welcomed a roomful of stars from the fashion world as New York Fashion Week gets revved up. During her performance, Blige pulled U2 guitarist the Edge up with her for a feel-good moment that helped raise even more money for a cause that will require support for quite a long time.
Blige also rubbed elbows with an eclectic group of guests that included Michael Stipe, Robert De Niro, Whoopi Goldberg and Russell Simmons.source:http://newsroom.mtv.com
