7-Sep-2005Written by: Jaimie E. GusmanMichael Jackson is writing a song for the hurricane Katrina victims, and has invited other artists to sing with him in this upcoming single.Pop icon Michael Jackson, 47, has written a song for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. His spokeswoman Raymone Bain said on Tuesday that he hopes to record the song with other top artists and release it as a charity single.Jackson, who previously raised more than $60 million for African famine relief with a campaign built around his anthem "We Are the World," was moved by the images of destruction that he saw on television, publicist Raymone Bain said.Jackson said in a written statement, "It pains me to watch the human suffering taking place in the Gulf region of my country. My heart and prayers go out to every individual who has had to endure the pain and suffering caused by this tragedy."He also added that he will be “reaching out to others within the music industry to join me in helping bring relief and hope to these resilient people who have lost everything.”Bain said Jackson that the song has been tentatively titled, "From the Bottom of My Heart," and he planned to record it within two weeks after enlisting other top performers."In the next 24 hours he will be personally reaching out to all of the artists to ask them to join him in this project," Bain said, adding that none of the artists could be named yet.The "King of Pop" left his Neverland Valley Ranch in California for Bahrain after his acquittal on child molestation charges in June. Bain said he would return to the United States to work on the new single.

Same goes for all the other celebs that publicly donate. Charity is supposed to be private. And because it doesn't matter how much these celebs are donating. The real money is going to come from the government. Any celeb that donates and brags about it is just trying to create an kind image.I have much more respect for the celebs actually there helping in person. It really helps the morale of the victims.I also have a lot of respect for the people giving private donations. Something I'm sure there is a lot more of than we think. A lot of people got on Mel Gibson's case for making all that cash off of Jesus, but who knows how much he has donated to charity. If he is as much a Christian as he claims then you'd never know because "when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. (Matthew 6:3).

(Matthew 6:3).It doesnt say he is donating it says he is raising money through a charity song, so it will be the people who buy the cd that will be donating. U can guarentee that Michael Jackson has given a lot more to charity and helped ill people a lot more than mel gibson or nearly any other celeb.

U can guarentee that Michael Jackson has given a lot more to charity and helped ill people a lot more than mel gibson or nearly any other celeb.How do you know that? I know for a fact that Bill Gates has donated more money than MJ has ever made. My point about Mel isn't that he does donate, it's that if he did and he's the Christian he claims to be then you wouldn't know about it. Mel made over 200 million cash for Passion. Who knows how much if any he has donated.Anyway, who cares. This is jut another way for Michael to try and get his clean image back. Kuwait is donating 500 mil, and the US is going to pour in billions. What the fuck is a few mil from MJ's song? I'll tell you. It's a nice way for MJ to look good.
