Leona Lewis is the latest star to sign up to Simon Cowell's Haiti charity single.
It's believed the song will be a cover of REM's classic hit Everybody Hurts, which will benefit from an all-star line-up.
Along with Leona, Cheryl Cole, Michael Buble, JLS and RoSimon Cowell Simon Cowell d Stewart have all agreed to contribute.
Take That, Robbie Williams, Coldplay, Will Young, X Factor 's Joe McElderry, N-Dubz and Sir Paul McCartney are also said to be in talks to be part of the Live-Aid style single.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown said: "I have already talked to Simon Cowell and I said there would be an exemption from VAT for a charity single.
"The agony and anguish for the people that we are seeing on our television screens is something that British people want to respond to.
"Simon Cowell can make a huge amount of money to help the people of Haiti."
REM have agreed to waive any royalty rights to the song so the charity single can raise the maximum amount of cash for the striken country of Haiti.
