Posted Saturday January 23, 2010 3:28 AM GMT

Taking the stage to raise money for Haiti, Shakira and Sting performed at the "Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief" telethon in New York City on Friday night (January 22).

The Colombian beauty and her British Grammy-winning partner each took their turn belting out tunes in a worldwide effort to provide support following the island nation's devastating earthquakes.

With events taking place all over the globe, George Clooney kicked off the star-studded telethon - urging America to dig deep and help the victims of the Haitian tragedy.

Referring to the earthquake that killed tens of thousands and devastated the Caribbean nation earlier this month, he said, "This is a tragedy that reaches across all borders and all boundaries and demands our attention, our help and our compassion as fellow human beings. The Haitian people need our help. They need to know they're not alone, they need to know that we still care."

For those kind enough to pitch in, donations can be made online at HopeForHaitiNow.org, over the phone by calling (877) 99-HAITI, by texting the word “GIVE” to 50555 or by mail addressed to Hope for Haiti Now Fund, Entertainment Industry Foundation, 1201 West 5th St., Suite T-700, Los Angeles, CA, 90017.
