It's been 25 years since "We Are The World" was released and now Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie are planning to record an anniversary edition of the song to benefit the Haitian earthquake victims.

Supposedly they had already planned to perform on January 28 as part of the anniversary celebration, but when the earthquake in Haiti struck the project formed in to a fundraiser for the country.

Usher, John Legend and Natalie Cole have been invited thus far and more performers are expected to join. The original song featured Richie, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Cyndi Lauper and Billy Joel among MANY others.

A music video will accompany new version as well.

Who do U want to hear on the new and improve "We Are The World?"

Continuing to pollute the TV airwaves with yet another season of his crappy show, Donald Trump had some of his new contestants of Celebrity Apprentice shoot a promo for the ninth season in NYC on Wednesday.

Among the familiar famous faces starring in this years competition are Sharon Osbourne, Cyndi Lauper, Daryl Strawberry, and Bret Michaels.

Guess VH1 has finally given up on finding you love, huh Bret?

Filling out the rest of the seats in the board room will be Australian chef Curtis Stone, Holly Robinson Peete, Summer Sanders, Maria Kanellis, Selita Ebanks and Sinbad.

A hundred bucks says it take Bret Michaels one episode to give Maria Kanellis herpes!

Anyone else want to wager?

Lil Kim joined Cyndi Lauper for a duet at the concert celebrating Nelson Mandela's birthday at Radio City Music Hall in NYC this weekend, and….

It's is actually pretty freakin' awesome!

The two did Lauper's Time After Time mashed up with Kim's Lighters Up.

Obviously Kim is not a singer, but that actually works to her advantage in this performance. There's something really raw and vulnerable and pretty about her singing.

This is the most "real" we think we've ever seen her be!
