GEORGE CLOONEY - TSUNAMI TELETHON EXTENDED AS STARS RUSH IN

America's superstar-filled TSUNAMI AID telethon has been extended to a two-hour event - so all the celebrities talent booker GEORGE CLOONEY has called to take part can appear.

Tonight's (15JAN05) telethon will now be a commercial-free two hour show full of performances, messages and celebrity stories.

But the extra hour still means some celebrities will miss out on appearing on the show - ROBERT DE NIRO, NICOLAS CAGE, BRAD PITT, LEONARDO DiCAPRIO, CATHERINE ZETA-JONES and HALLE BERRY have agreed to answer phones and chat to generous viewers, calling in to make a donation to the tsunami relief effort.
