MTV Networks says it is working with George Clooney to stage a telethon for Haitian earthquake relief Jan. 22.

A representative for MTV said Thursday that details are still being worked out. But Mark Jafar said they are planning one.

There's no word yet about other stars getting involved. A representative for Clooney did not immediately respond to a message seeking details.

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