Jimmy Kimmel Tweets Tsunami Updates from South Pacific

Jimmy Kimmel Tweets Tsunami Updates from South Pacific

Jimmy Kimmel’s trip to the South Pacific turned out to be more of a nightmare than a dream vacation. The late night host has been twittering up a storm about his unfortunately timed getaway to French Polynesia.

Kimmel was taking some time off in the area when a devastating 8.9 magnitude earthquake rocked Japan on Friday, causing immeasurable damage and continuing to send ripples throughout the Pacific. The region is still under tsunami warning.

"Suddenly, relaxing on an island in the South Pacific isn’t so relaxing anymore," Kimmel twittered around 2 a.m. EST. "Good thing I brought my aqua stilts."

When some of the funnyman’s followers thought he was inappropriately making light of a dire situation, Kimmel reassured them he wasn’t kidding around. "I wish I was joking," he said. "And I’ll accept the apologies from everyone who called me an a**hole and said 'f**k you' in advance."

He then thanked all "who sent good wishes" and said he was "glued to CNN." One concerned follower asked him, "How scared are you (on a scale of 1-10)?" Kimmel answered, "A good solid 7. On a small island, with no high ground."

Later Friday morning, six hours after his initial earthquake tweets, Kimmel gave an update to his fans: "We are evacuating the island. Dogspeed."

Other celebrities have also twittered their prayers and well wishes for the crisis overseas. Read a sampling of their supportive tweets below:

"My prayers go out to anyone that is being effected by the disaster in Japan... #prayforjapan," --  Katy Perry

"Just heard about the huge earthquake and tsunami in Japan. My prayers are with everyone in Japan!" -- Kim Kardashian

"Glued to TV watching this unreal earthquake footage out of Japan. Sending prayers to everyone affected. Unbelievable." -- Ryan Seacrest

"I don't care what you believe in, send prayers to all those in harm's way in Japan. I know I am." -- Glee star Darren Criss

"The images on the news are breaking my heart. I am so worried for everyone in Japan. My thoughts are with you Japan. God bless you all." -- Paris Hilton

Vigil Planned As Asheley Jewell Remains In Critical Condition

 

A vigil has been planned for Asheley Jewell, the 15-year-old daughter of the late A.J. Jewell, ex-fiance of "Real Housewives of Atlanta"'s Kandi Burruss,  wounded in an apparent road rage shooting.  Details inside...

 

A vigil for Asheley Jewell, the 15-year-old shot in the head during a road rage shooting, has been announced for this weekend.  According to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution, as Asheley remains in critical condition at Grady Memorial Hospital, the vigil will be held at 7 p.m. Saturday at O'Reilly Auto Parts, 5549 Old National Highway in College Park.
 

"The vigil is a step toward healing a family victimized by senseless violence," said Jewell's cousin, attorney Ebony Phillips. "It is also a call for justice in hopes that someone will come forward with invaluable information about this case. Although nothing can undo the events of March 5, 2011, the family is hopeful that justice will prevail."

Still such a sad situation.  Anyone with information is encouraged to call Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-8477.

Lady Gaga is doing her part to help those affected by the 8.9-magnitude earthquake that struck Japan on Friday (March 11). The devastating quake triggered a 10-meter tsunami and now threatens Pacific coastal areas, including Hawaii and the West Coast.

The star tweeted on Friday that she has designed a special wristband with all of the proceeds going to benefit those affected by the disaster.

"I Designed a Japan Prayer Bracelet. Buy It/Donate here and ALL proceeds will go to Tsunami Relief Efforts. Go Monsters," Gaga wrote.

She then shared a link with more information about the red-and-white bracelet on which the words "we pray for Japan" are written along with an image of a hand making Gaga's signature monster paw gesture. "Little Monsters, show your support for Japan with this 'We Pray for Japan' wristband! Choose your price to add an additional donation with your wristband," the description for the bracelet reads. "All proceeds go directly to Japan relief efforts."

Gaga is the latest celebrity to reach out and help shed light on the devastation left by the tragic events in Japan. Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Adam Lambert, Diddy and many more sent their prayers to those affected via Twitter. Britney Spears encouraged fans to donate to relief organizations, tweeting, "So tragic. My heart is breaking for Japan."

"Just heard about the huge earthquake and tsunami in Japan," Kim Kardashian wrote. "My prayers are with everyone in Japan. Seeing all of this footage in Japan is devastating! Please help the people of Japan by texting REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation."

We Are All Lucky To Be Alive This Morning

I'm surprised the world just didn't implode last night. Two lethal forces united and somehow we all survived. Amy Winehouse... and.... Tila Tequila partied together at Kyashii restaurant and bar in Covent Garden in London. Amy left (with a little assistance) around 1:15 to hit up 'Runway Club' but returned within the hour and ended up partying until 4AM.I can't IMAGINE the pictures that were snapped of these two inside the club. Dangerous...Photos by WENN.com Continue reading
