Day: September 21, 2001

AMERICA- A TRIBUTE TO HEROES- 9 pm to 11 pm, Friday, September 21, 2001.

For tonight’s Star Studded telethon the stars themselves are being asked to dress down and leave the Bob Mackie gowns at home. But you can wear whatever you’d like as you watch!†

Celine Dion, Enrique Iglesias, Limp Bizkit, Sting and U2 signed on Thursday, along with Mariah Carey, Wyclef Jean, Jane Kaczmarek, Willie Nelson and Jimmy Smits.

They joined previously announced Bon Jovi, Amy Brenneman, Jim Carrey, George Clooney, Sheryl Crow, Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, The Dixie Chicks, Robert De Niro, Clint Eastwood, Calista Flockhart, Dennis Franz, Kelsey Grammer, Tom Hanks, Faith Hill, Billy Joel, Alicia Keys, Conan O’Brien, Tom Petty, Ray Romano, Julia Roberts, Paul Simon, Will Smith, Bruce Springsteen, Sela Ward, Robin Williams, Stevie Wonder and Neil Young.

Enjoy the show, and if it moves you, make a pledge.

I hate to kick a girl when she is down, but after having to sit through the dreck that is Mariah Carey’s film debut in “Glitter”, I have no choice! She always said that being a movie star was her dream, well she is living her dream and she will critically pay the price for it. To use a soon- to- be- tired cliche regarding this film, “All that ‘Glitters’ is not gold.” And you can quote me on that!

The Hollywood Studios are on high alert following a warning by the FBI.
