LOS ANGELES -- MTV Networks is working with George Clooney to stage a telethon for Haitian earthquake relief.

MTV spokesman Mark Jafar said Thursday that details are still being worked out.

There's no word yet about other stars getting involved. But a representative for Clooney said the actor is in process of helping organize the telethon, which likely would air Jan. 22 on all MTV Networks -- which include VH1, Comedy Central and CMT -- as well as on ABC, NBC, HBO and CNN.

Thousands are feared dead after the massive earthquake, and the Caribbean island nation desperately needs aid.
