P. Diddy and Jay-Z, impressed by the New Orleans tragedy, where thousands of people were left homeless, decided to donate $1 million to American Red Cross. Hip-hop singer P. Diddy stated that he wants to help the black community and not only, from the cities hit by Katrina, because they are his 'brothers' and 'sisters'. Jay-Z said: "This is our community. When I turn on CNN, I see a lot of black people on the streets. I know it's other people too, but those projects have been hit hard." Diddy added: "We are all descendants from each other's families. When you hear black people say 'brothers' and 'sisters,' it's really true. These are all people that I know I'm related to somehow, some way - the human race family." Meanwhile, Celine Dion and Nicolas Cage are also donating $1million to the cause, while Britney Spears has offered a message of support on her website. She said: "My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida and any other states that might be affected by Hurricane Katrina. "All of my family members there are safe and thank you to all my fans for their concern."
