TWEET FOR SWEET: Hope for the Victims of Typhoon "Yolanda"

Messages of love and support from some of the famous and big Hollywood stars for the victims of Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan)

Many of the big Hollywood stars have been tweeting messages of love and support for the victims of super typhoon Yolanda (international name Haiyan) that ravaged the Philippines, particularly the Central Visayas region.

Among those who first took to Twitter was American alternative-pop rock band OneRepublic, who “can’t believe we were there yesterday afternoon (Nov. 6)” for a concert in Manila last week.

@OneRepublic: “To all our Filipino fans- love u guys, be safe, take cover, God speed.. We can’t believe we were there yesterday afternoon. This is crazy… Sending our thoughts and prayers to the victim’s families of the devastating typhoon in the Philippines.”

RnB Princess Rihanna, who also held a show in town in September, told her Navy fanbase to “please keep the people of The Philippines in your prayers!!! I was just there and this truly breaks my heart!!!”

Actor Josh Duhamel of “Transformers” film series also said that he is “Praying for the Philippines.”

Half-Filipina singer Jessica Sanchez was also active in the micro-blogging site with a series of tweets on the disaster over the weekend.
@JessicaESanchez: “Praying for the Philippines right now and wishing everyone safety from Typhoon Haiyan!”
Sanchez followed it up with, “I am praying for the Philippines and all my Filipino Blujays this morning in the wake of this horrendous storm! Be safe and stay strong! The news from the Philippines this morning is heartbreaking!” also urging followers to “find a way to help!”


International recording artists Marie Digby and David Archuleta, who, at some point, have made the Philippines their home also called for prayers.
@mariedigby: “Keeping The Philippines in my thoughts during this difficult and dangerous time… Hoping everyone stays safe <3”
@DavidArchie: “Prayers for our friends in the Philippines and all the areas being affected by Typhoon Haiyan. (Team Archie).”

Singers-songwriters Josh Groban and Sara Bareilles were also among those who hopped aboard the sympathy train.
@joshgroban: “My heart is heavy for the people of the Philippines tonight. Devastating.”


@SaraBareilles: “Sending love to the Philippines. Tragic and powerful typhoon and major loss of life. Keeping that entire region in my prayers.”
Even Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao’s rival Floyd Mayweather had his “thoughts and prayers (to) everyone in the Philippines.”

Actor George Clooney said to Associated Press during the Britannia Awards that he was following the news about Haiyan, describing it as “a terrible disaster.”
“We did the Golden Globes a week before we did the Haiti telethon and we were able to sort of rally some troops around and we’ll see what goes on from here and see what we’re able to do. It’s just happened a day ago so we’re figuring it out,” Clooney related on Saturday in LA, California.
During the 2013 MTV EMA music awards in Amsterdam on Sunday, Nov. 10, Thirty Seconds to Mars’ frontman Jared Leto asked for a minute of silence for Haiyan’s victims, after winning the best alternative prize.

 

The coronation night of this year’s Miss Universe 2013 in Moscow, Russia, wherein the country’s representative Ariella Arida placed 3rd runner-up, was also dedicated to the Haiyan victims in the Philippines and Vietnam.
