Leo DiCaprio Directs Another Titanic Donation to Haiti

Movie star the latest to donate a warmhearted cool million to the cause

Add Leonardo DiCaprio to the list of stars whose hearts are even bigger than their bank accounts.

In advance of Friday's all-star telethon, the Shutter Island thesp has donated $1 million to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund to aid relief efforts in the earthquake-ravaged nation, with a particular focus on long-term sustainable development.

The dough will be disbursed by Leo's environmentally minded foundation, the Leonardo DiCaprio Fund.

"I am grateful for the generous gift Leonardo DiCaprio and his Foundation have made in support of our Clinton Bush Haiti Fund," said former President Bill Clinton, who, while he was in the White House, was interviewed by DiCaprio for an ABC News Earth Day special in 2000.

"Combined with the outpouring of donations from Americans and citizens around the world of all means, this support will go a long way to help save more lives, reach more people with emergency assistance and help the Haitian people build their nation back stronger and more secure than it was before the earthquake."

Added former President George H.W. Bush: "I salute Leonardo DiCaprio for his extraordinary generosity. This donation sends a clear message to the people of Haiti that America's commitment to helping rebuild their country is strong. I thank Leo for setting a wonderful example for all Americans of helping a neighbor in need."

DiCaprio is just one of more than 100 Hollywood types onboard with Friday's Hope for Haiti telethon. Organizer George Clooney, who also kicked in his own million dollars this week, is emceeing from Los Angeles, while Wyclef Jean is presiding over the broadcast from New York.

Other celebs who have donated a nice, round, 7-figure number to the cause so far include Sandra Bullock, Gisele Bündchen ($1.5 million to the Red Cross) and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation.

Clooney, Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle and Jerry Weintraub's Not on Our Watch organization has also cut a check for $1 million.

In other relief developments:

• Linkin Park has enlisted the Dave Matthews Band, Alanis Morissette, Enrique Iglesias, Peter Gabriel, Slash, All-American Rejects and more to donate previously unreleased tunes to Download to Donate, a collaboration with the rap-metal group's Music for Relief nonprofit. One hundred percent of the proceeds are going to Haiti relief.

• Radiohead is auctioning off tickets (bidding starts at $100 each) for a benefit concert it's playing Sunday night at L.A.'s 1,300-seat Music Box at the Henry Fonda Theatre. All proceeds will go to Oxfam's Haiti relief fund.
