Scarlett Johnson might be the hollywood next celebrity to visit Haiti .

At the 83rd Academy Awards Scarlett Johansson was spotted flirting with a host of A-list stars including dad-of-two Matthew McConaughey as well as Hurt Locker actor Jeremy Renner, however it appears her amorous behaviour was just a rouse to hide her real relationship with actor Sean Penn. Despite the 24 year age gap a source suggested Scarlett has fallen “head over heels” with the fellow actor who reportedly whisked her away on a romantic holiday to the exclusive Las Ventanas resort in Mexico. “They were last seen at the resort’s spa bar, drinking margaritas, talking and smoking,” revealed an eyewitness. “When they finished, they left quietly and casually, but also hand in hand.” The vacation comes just days after the couple were spotted enjoying various cosy dinner dates together. At one particularly lunch date in a Los Angeles dinner ScarJo, who was once allegedly involved in a love in an elevator incident with Benicio Del Toro, spent the entire meal with her foot on Sean’s lap. A source spilled, “She thinks Sean is amazing. He’s exactly the kind of guy she wants.” Adding, “She doesn’t care about the age difference. In fact, that’s what makes him so attractive.” Although both actors deny allegations of a romance their trip to Mexico seems to prove they are more than just friends, and recent claims that ScarJo plans to join Sean on his humanitarian trip to Haiti further fuel theories that they’re an item. Their main common interest is charity work with the Lost In Translation actress working as a global ambassador for Oxfam while Sean is launching the J/P Haitian Relief Organisation after the country’s catastrophic earthquake. And it’s believed that the former bad boy’s kind hearted nature is what appeals to the 26-year-old beauty – “They are reportedly planning to head to Haiti together in the spring, and Scarlett doesn’t care about the age difference because she was sick of being with someone who’s childish.” “Scarlett first reached out to Sean when she was planning to visit Haiti with Oxfam. She knew Sean was living there in a tent and turned to him for advice,” explained an insider. “While the actress didn’t end up going on the trip, she did develop feelings for Penn who split from wife Robin Wright after 14 years of marriage last August.” A further source added to rumours of a burgeoning romance stating, “The duo began their fling in early January when she was staying at LA’s Chateau Marmont while filming We Bought a Zoo with Matt Damon. Their first hook-up was in Scarlett’s Bungalow. Scarlett’s smitten with him.”

Keep an eye out for scams as you donate to tsunami relief

Reporter: Jessie Rymers

Indiana's attorney general is reminding people to keep an eye out for scams as they reach out to help those affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

"In the immediate aftermath of the Haiti earthquake last year, Hoosiers reached deep into their wallets to donate and help the victims. But in that outpouring, there were concerns about new and untested relief groups suddenly appearing and soliciting donations online and by email," said Attorney General Greg Zoeller on Friday.

During disasters you should make sure you're donating to reputable organizations, such as The Red Cross. Other groups will often try to take advantage of sympathetic people and trick them into making donations to fictitious organizations.

To make sure you are not scammed, you should look into the background of the organization you are thinking about donating to. You should never respond to phone calls or emails soliciting donations. You should be the one to reach out to the organization.

To help you make that distinction, the attorney general recommends the website Charity Navigator. At the site, you can check whether a charity uses donations for intended purposes.

If you would like to make a donation to The Red Cross, you can do so by texting "REDCROSS" to 90999, to make a $10 donation.

Supernatural Misha Collins tease Castiel Centric episode , plans trip to Haiti with fans

ot an in-depth look at Jimmy Novak, the man whose body now houses Castiel (Misha Collins), but we have very little insight into Castiel himself when it comes to backstory. During the current sixth season, much of Castiel's story has played out off-screen as he soldiers on in Heaven's brutal civil war. 

In Episode 20, however, Castiel gets his moment. Showrunner Sera Gamble describes it as a serious episode with a "significant impact." She tells Zap2it, "It's an episode that's largely from Castiel's point of view. We get pretty deep into what he's feeling, and we illuminate his character quite a bit."

"It was terrible!" Collins jokes. "I had to work every day! That's not what I signed up for! It's actually kind of tough being the heaviest character in an episode."  He promises that we'll find out just what Castiel has been up to while he hasn't been saving the Winchesters from their various pickles.

"It's a big expositional episode about the whole war in heaven and Cas's relationship with that and Cas's whole inner story and the dilemmas that he's faced with," Collins says. Castiel will find himself confiding in someone -- we're not sure who, but our money's on Dean, given their profound bond. 

The episode will incorporate not only news of Castiel's current embattled situation, but we'll learn a lot about his back story -- and even, perhaps, about his childhood, inasmuch as an angel can have a childhood.

Titled "The Man Who Would Be King," the Castiel-centric episode will see the return of a familiar face from the hunters' past. It's both written and directed by executive producerBen Edlund, who "Supernatural" fans tend to, well, worship, for lack of a better word.

Collins certainly appreciated having a friend of the show on set during his most trying episode yet. "You have a director who knows the whole arc of the character and who can really talk to you about what's going on with your character," he says. "A lot of times directors are more like guest stars. There are several directors we have who really know the story well, but a lot are not as versed."

As a longtime part of the "Supernatural" family, Edlund was the subject of some affectionate ribbing during the PaleyFest panel discussion. As it was his first time directing, he paid excruciating attention to detail -- perhaps to a fault, as Jared Padalecki joked. 

"It was nice to have the passion," Padalecki says. "I'll say that, and then I'll make fun of him." He makes teases Edlund good-naturedly. "A lot of directors will come in - not with a lack of love - but they're like, 'Okay everybody, you go there, you go there, I need you to hit this  mark.' And that's what I do. I hit that mark if you need me to hit it, in five minutes or five seconds. And [Edlund], god love him, would be like 'Jared, I want you to walk to this mark, and while you're walking you should think about how tough it's been. And maybe you hesitate for a second, because it's really hard, and you love your brother,' and I was like... 'You can just tell me to go somewhere.'"

At one point during the discussion, panel moderator Mo Ryan asked our stars if they had any regrets about the decisions they'd made on the show.

"I've got one," Collins says. "In the first episode that Castiel shows up, he's trying to communicate with dean, and in so doing, his angelic voice is exploding television sets and breaking windows. So I, consummate guest star that I am, I think, I'm going to do this really deep, growly voice. A kick-ass, window breaking voice." He pauses. "I may be running into medical problems. It has been brutal on my throat, so, yeah. Regret."

The voice Collins used in their first scene together was rather unsettling for Jensen Ackles. Watch our (admittedly shoddy) video of the panel below to see Padalecki and Ackles discuss their initial impressions of Collins, who didn't quite fit in on set when he first arrived in Vancouver.

Now that he's found his place in the "Supernatural" fandom, though, Collins intends to use his power for good... most of the time. He's inviting 40 of his fans (or, as they like to be called, minions) to join him and fellow "Supernatural" star Matt Cohen (he plays young John Winchester) on a week-long trip to Haiti to build a community center for victims of the horrific earthquake.

"Yes, I'm crazy," he laughs, "and I'm also excited. I think it'll be an exciting trip. Fans come to fan conventions and that sort of thing, so I love the idea of trying to utilize some of that energy for something else."

Collins is working on booking a film for the summer, but in the meantime, he's got plenty on his plate to finish up Castiel's Season 6 journey. "You will meet an angel named Rachel who is Castiel's trusted lieutenant," Gamble says. "We're sort of opening up that story a little bit. We'll see more of Raphael and more of the civil war. What's going on with Castiel, and what he's thinking when he gives [the Winchesters] that look that says, 'I really need a nap and I don't have time to take one.'"

Haiti: Michel Martelly backed by losing candidates

Five candidates who were defeated in the first round of Haiti's presidential election have given their support to pop singer Michel Martelly in the second round run-off.
Mr Martelly will face former first lady Mirlande Manigat in the 20 March vote.
The five candidates said Mr Martelly was the candidate most likely to promote democracy and development.
But they said the best solution would have been to annul the first round because of widespread fraud.
'Spirit of openness'In a joint statement, defeated candidates Josette Bijou, Wilson Jeudy, Genard Joseph, Chavanne Jeune and Eric Smarki Charles praised Mr Martelly for the "spirit of openness" he had shown in his campaign.
"We urge all our supporters in all corners of the country to go out and vote in mass for Michel Martelly to become president on Sunday 20 March," the statement said.
But the candidates added that the "best solution for democracy" would have been to annul the "mascarade" of the first round.
ControversyMs Manigat won the most votes in the first round, but opinion polls give Mr Martelly a slight lead ahead of next weekend's decisive vote.
The election to chose a successor to outgoing Haitian president Rene Preval has been mired in controversy.
International observers said the first round on 28 November was marred by fraud and intimidation.
Violent unrest broke out when Haiti's electoral authorities announced initial results that put the governing Inite party candidate Jude Celestin in second place.
The second round was postponed, and experts from the Organisation of American States were called in to assess the result
They found there had been large-scale fraud in Mr Celestin's favour, and recommended he withdraw.
After sustained international pressure, the electoral authority announced new results which put Mr Martelly through to the run-off against Ms Manigat.
Whoever wins the election faces the task of rebuilding Haiti after last year's huge earthquake, which killed around 230,000 people and left the capital, Port-au-Prince, in ruins.

Aristide is coming back , before the election , when ?

MIAMI, March 13 (UPI) -- Former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide is returning to Haiti, his American lawyer says.
Miami attorney Ira Kurzban told CNN Saturday, "He is headed back to Haiti. We don't know when yet, but it will be before the elections.
"He has no interest in meddling or being involved in the election. He has no interest in being involved in politics," Kurzban added.
The presidential runoff is scheduled for March 20.
Aristide, the Caribbean country's first democratically elected president in 190 years, was overthrown in 2004 and has been living in exile in South Africa.
Haiti gave him a new passport in February, but Kurzban said he fears not being able to go home after the election if a new administration revokes his visa.
"He wants to go home. He's been in exile for seven years," the lawyer said. "He wants to get his medical school up and operating given the conditions in Haiti. That's his interest."
Aristide, a former Roman Catholic priest, has charged the United States and other powers were behind his downfall. He repeated his longstanding wish to return after former dictator Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier unexpectedly showed up in Haiti in January.

5 ex candidates to the presidency even Pastor Chavannes Jeune a well known pastor endorses Michel Martelly .

Five former candidates that sought the presidency in the first round of the presidential elections, who were also members of the group of 12 who sought its cancellation, have endorsed the candidature of Michel Martelly for president.

Pastor Chavannes Jeune, Josette Bijou, Eric Charles, Wilson Jeudy and Joseph Genard announced thier support in a news release Saturday.

The band of five still believe the first round of elections warrant cancellation as the press release reads: "To the plot of November 28, we continue to believe that the best solution for democracy in the country would have been to cancel the Masquerade which took place that day..."

They have however noted that the Haitian people has agreed to go to elections because it made him understand that this is the only condition so he could get out of poverty and under the tent where it was found on January 12, 2010.

"Considering the spirit of openness that the candidate Joseph Michel Martelly showed and its program, it seems us more capable of drawing, with him and his side of democracy, one of the conditions for the sustainable development of the country and this without demagogy." the press release continued.

The press release ended with the five former candidates calling to their supporters and sympathizers to come out and vote "for Michel Joseph Martelly became the fifty-sixth President of the Republic as soon as the first hour on Sunday, March 20".

Michel Martelly smart man .

By TRENTON DANIEL

      Among Martelly’s biggest fans was Army Col. Michel Francois, who used the nickname “Sweet Micky” on his police radio. Francois, a chief architect of the coup, was convicted in absentia in 1995 on murder charges and now lives in Honduras.
In early 1993, Francois asked Martelly to join protesters when Dante Caputo, the UN special representative to Haiti, arrived at the Port-au-Prince international airport to negotiate Aristide’s return. The greeting wasn’t warm.
“Grenadier! To the attack!” he yelled amid a crowd of several hundred, according to the Miami New Times. “If anyone dies, that’s his business!”
As thousands of Haitians fled the island amid a U.S.-imposed embargo, Martelly put out an album. The title: I Don’t Care. A popular song of the same name carried this refrain, in Creole: “Those who aren’t happy — get out!”
Martelly himself got out after Aristide was ousted in his second term, in 2004, and the country was rife with kidnappings and lawlessness. He also scaled back on the constant touring, spending more time with his wife and four children in a five-bedroom, two-story house the couple purchased in Royal Palm Beach. He has since defaulted on more than $1 million in loans and lost three South Florida properties to foreclosure in just over a year, public records show.
Martelly surprised the country in August when he registered at the election office, hours before his friend Wyclef Jean filed paperwork. Some initially thought the entertainer was joking.
But Martelly showed he was a fighter. When election officials released preliminary results on Dec. 7 that barred him from a run-off, thousands of supporters and anti-government protesters poured into the streets. They paralyzed the capital by burning barricades and buildings.
Under pressure from the international community, election officials released final results showing that Martelly – and not the government’s pick, Jude Celestin – made the second round with Manigat.
“This is not a gift,” Martelly told reporters at the Oloffson.
(On a January visit U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with Martelly and the two other candidates. Martelly’s charm was not lost on her. Clinton said: “Whatever happens, don’t lose that smile.”)
Since the election announcement, Martelly has kept a decidedly high profile. He has toured the countryside, hosted rallies, and exchanged online banter with Wyclef. He said he wants to bring back the army Aristide disbanded, redirect government services to the countryside and provide free education to all.
“I think Martelly might become much more polarizing than people think right now,” said Hyppolite Pierre, a Haitian political analyst based in Maryland. “We don’t need polarization in the future.”
Others find him refreshing. Repeatedly, Martelly has said he doesn’t know all the answers and would solicit answers from others — the antithesis of outgoing President René Préval, a reputed micromanager.
“What I like about Martelly is that he admits he’s not a politician,” said Maarten Boute, chief executive officer of Digicel, a cell phone company in Haiti. In a visit to South Florida earlier this month, Martelly spoke to several thousand Haitians at an amphitheater in North Miami Beach. Supporters like Miami physician and philanthropist Rudy Moise joined him on stage. Moise urged the crowd to tell family members in Haiti to pick Martelly in the runoff.
Sporting a dark suit, Martelly cracked a few jokes but mostly maintained a serious tone. He spoke about the need for tourists to invest in “our house,” the importance of Haiti’s Diaspora, and the need for decentralization.
As he wrapped up his 20-minute speech, Martelly tapped into his inner Micky.
“Sak pa kontan…” he said, awaiting a response. Those who aren’t happy…
The crowed roared in delight: “Anbake!” Get out!
