Justin Timberlake Haiti
Justin Timberlake Haiti, While every performer gave heartfelt performances for the “Hope for Haiti Now” telethon Friday (Jan. 22), the former ‘N Sync member gave one of the most moving performances of the night.
Alongside Timberlake was a mystery man in a beanie whom some mistook for Dave Grohl or Ray LaMontagne. Some people on Twitter just resorted to calling him “other dude,” tweeting things like, “Justin Timberlake, you’re making me cry! (You too, other dude)” or “Justin Timberlake and…and…er, no idea who the other dude is!”
But in fact, that person was Matt Morris, who also has roots in the “Mickey Mouse Club” and is a successful songwriter and musician. He’s written stuff for Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and Kelly Clarkson’s hit, “Miss Independent.”

More about Twice Upon a Christmas:- Find out who’s been naughty and who’s been nice in this spectacular all-new Christmas celebration. Santa Claus joins Mickey, Minnie, and all their pals in an original movie about discovering the true joys of Christmas. Watch the hilarious antics of stubborn old Donald as he tries in vain to resist the joy of the season, and laugh along with Mickey and Pluto as they learn a great lesson about the power of friendship. Now, through the magic of dazzling computer animation, your favorite Disney characters get a wonderful new look, so celebrate the holidays with this irresistible new collection of Christmas stories the whole family is sure to enjoy.
Mickey Mouse and his friends enter the realm of eye-catching computer-generated animation in this five-episode, 68-minute Christmas celebration. The holidays are a time for celebration, but when Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and host of other Disney characters become obsessed with holiday preparations, the frenzy of activity leaves everyone feeling stressed, selfish, and full of regret. A skating contest leads best friends Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck down a path of jealousy and hurt feelings in “Belles on Ice,” and “Christmas Impossible” finds Huey, Dewie, and Louie selfishly scheming to get on Santa’s “good list” at any expense. In “Christmas Maximus,” Goofy’s son Max is mortified by his father’s silly antics and, in “Donald’s Gift,” Donald’s craving for peace and quiet threatens to ruin the whole family’s holiday fun. “Mickey’s Dog-Gone Christmas” finds Mickey so absorbed in planning the perfect Christmas party that he lashes out at Pluto and almost loses a very special friend forever. While the animation style is new, what hasn’t changed is Disney’s commitment to stories with wholesome values: Mickey and the gang remind viewers that the holiday season is not about selfishness, flashy parties, and expensive gifts, but about selflessness and the celebration of family and friends.

Disney Sued Over Pooh Royalties:Winnie-the-Pooh is at the centre of a legal storm over his adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood.
The firm founded by the man responsible for making the bear with very little brain big in the States is dragging Disney through the courts in a bid to get allegedly unpaid royalties.
Lawyers for Stephen Slesinger Inc filed papers at Los Angeles District Court last week calling for redress, claiming “past improper business practices” on behalf of the Mickey Mouse company.
Disney has denied the claims, with a spokeswoman adding that the issue had already been dealt with in past court judgments.
Slesinger purchased the US and Canadian distribution rights for Pooh from AA Milne in 1931.
After a makeover which included the addition of a red shirt, the bear became a global phenomenon.
In 1961, some eight years after Slesinger’s death, the rights were licensed to Disney, which proceeded to produce a series of successful films, TV shows and spin-off books and toys.
Eric George, lawyer for Slesinger, said the family are owed 1.5% to 2.5% in royalties.
A spokesman for the firm said Disney has been concealing the amount of money it has earned from Pooh mechanising.
Disney has retorted that the latest legal move is “baffling”, citing a September 25 decision by Judge Florence-Marie Cooper that rejected the Slesinger company’s claims.
