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.
