Celebs tweet prayers for JapanThe devastating 8.9 magnitude earthquake in Japan and subsequent tsunami has not only media organizations but the Twitter-verse buzzing. Celebrities like Alyssa Milano, P. Diddy and stars from "Glee" are tracking the news and tweeting prayers, hope and ideas on how we can help. As the news developed early Friday, Lindsay Lohan was apparently glued to CNN for the latest updates, as she tweeted a photo of the coverage unfolding on her television along with the message, "My mommy just woke my sister and i up to this! god bless those that are in fear." She's not the only one shocked and hurt by images of the devastation:
Yoko Ono tweeted earlier, "Sending love to all friends & family in Japan & praying for you. We are with you. Let's help one another as much as we can love, yoko." Along with former "Star Trek" star George Takei, she's also telling fans to help out with the relief effort. Ono has since tweeted a link to a message she wrote, stating how devastated she was by the news. "My dear people of Japan," Ono begins. "I feel numb now, as if I was there myself and hit with this disaster as you have been. Only just recently I visited Tokyo, and was delighted how beautiful, clean and quiet the city was! I didn’t expect a disaster like this to happen to the country I love so much." Her message goes on, "I feel deeply for you for having experienced the earthquake that was the severest in the history of Japan. It must have been so, so horrible. I extend my sympathy and love to each one of you. I’m very sorry that you had to go through what you went through. My heart is with you all the way."

God is always there
Oh Jesus be praised at the outflowing of feces from the celebs. How great they must feel about themselves to have sent a 10 second tweet.
They could feel even better by donating some of their immense fortunes... unless they're really saving up for that awesome new bag or car.
Chris Brown be buggin? Whats that supposed to mean. Besides being a loser this ngger chris brown speaks in ebonics. What a worm.
I've already donated what I have left to redcross. It's not much, but I guess something is better than nothing...
I bet not one of these millionaires would give up a million, put up or shut up.
I am so gay! I hope my dad doesn't find out! Maybe I should move to San Fancisco, or even Key West!
@D I pray that your friend is okay. It's so sad what happened.
My figure and personality does not match the literal spanish translation. I am actually a chubby, fugly, pancake chested freak!! All u chunky dudes send me da pics. I am ready to Ben Dover!! Take it in da pooper! Do it in da butt...all nite long.
U iz a big butt pirate!!
I hope snooki didnt squash your friend. . . .They are now saying she shifted the earth on its axis by 4 inches. Incredible. Now that is one big faaat whopper girl !
Can I say gay?
I chinee, me ok.
How about donating and doing something, yes I know some celebs will.
HELP US GODZIRRA ! PROTECT US FROM SNOOKEY MONSTER ! AIIIIIIEEEEEE !
What did I say this time CNN that you wouldn't post it? You people puzzle me to no end. You let trolls post obscene and offensive messages constantly.....but me posting a good will message for another country doesn't cut it. I think you people enjoy reading and posting everything perverted...even on your belief blogs. I post a comment of good will to another country going through a tragedy and it's not posted. I'm done with you and your "only for perverted, racist blogs!"
That's not funny-to make a joke about a serious situation. I have a friend over there still that nobody has heard yet whether he is ok or not. His family has not been notified. I pray he is ok along with many other people still missing-SHAME ON YOU!
I wish the best for your friend as well as the rest of the population with this disaster. I'm a little tense too. My boyfriend's mother & sister went to Tokyo last week (til next) for a much awaited visit. We have not heard from them yet and that plays a lot on your mind. So I know how you feel. Best of luck to you!
I pray that you hear from your family too Segovia
