Wyclef Jeans gives up on his presidential dreams!
Wednesday 4:42 PM, 22/09/2010
Fame and money can get you just about everything, except a presidential title it seems! Wyclef Jean has announced that he's decided to end his much debated run for the presidency of his home country Haiti. He released a statement today saying: "After weeks of quiet but painstaking reflection with my wife and daughter, I have chosen to end my bid for the presidency of Haiti. This was not an easy conclusion to reach; but it is one that was thoughtfully made. Though my run for the presidency was cut short, I feel it was not in vain."
We were never really sure of his true intentions and we hear that Haiti elders and people who met him weren't either, so it's probably for the best. But hey, at least he got some good publicity out of it! (Source: Perez Hilton)

Sean Penn Slams Wyclef Jean's Presidential Bid!
Saturday 10:28 PM, 07/08/2010
As you may already have heard R&B singer Wyclef Jean is going to run for president in Haiti's next presidential election and even though he's sure to get quite a few votes, not everyone is impressed! Actor Sean Penn recently criticized Wyclef insisting that the Fugees star has not been present in the aid efforts following the earthquake. Penn has said that he would rather see someone who is "really, really willing to sacrifice for their country and not just someone who I personally saw with a vulgar entourage of vehicles that demonstrated a wealth in Haiti that - in context, I felt (was) a very obscene demonstration". So what do you think, should Wyclef run for office?

Wyclef For President!
Friday 12:57 PM, 06/08/2010
Hip-hop star Wyclef Jean is running for president of his home country Haiti. Wyclef's charity Yele Haiti has been working hard to help Haiti recover from the earthquake disasters it was hit by earlier this year and so he has become really passionate about rebuilding his country. Wyclef says it will take 25 to 30 years to turn the Caribbean island country around, as its a place where most people are poor, uneducated and jobless. Wyclef says Haiti has had problems ever since he was a child and now he wants to help change that. We are not sure how much a hip hop artist knows about politics and running a country, but we think its great he is so serious about wanting to help!

The New We Are The World Song - Hit or Miss?
Wednesday 10:16 AM, 17/02/2010
As everyone knows by now, the huge hit song from the 80's "we are the world" written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, was remade this year to help the people of Haiti. The song debuted this weekend at the opening of the Winter Olympics in Canada. Even though the song went to number on iTunes this weekend and has already raised a lot of money to help the poor people of Haiti hit by earthquakes, not everyone is a fan of the song. Artists like Jay-Z have said they think there should have been a brand new song written, instead of a new version of the first "We are the world". Jay-Z thinks the first one was so special, it should have stayed untouched by a remix. What do you think? Here is the new version and the old for you to watch and vote on!
