Note to Felicity Huffman: Bone up on the cyclone in Myanmar. More than 4,000 dead. Up to 10,000 potentially killed. On par to be the biggest natural disaster in Asia since the tsunami of '04, which killed 181,000 in Indonesia, Thailand, and other areas in the south of Asia.

Huffman, of Desperate Housewives fame, is already slated to shoot a piece for the Campaign for Burma on Tuesday, which has taped video messages from such other stars as Juno's Ellen Page, goofball Will Ferrell, Friend Jennifer Aniston, and others. But today, the immediate need there has shifted, "at least until the bodies are buried," Jack Healey, executive director of the Burma campaign partner the Human Rights Action Center, tells Radar.

The campaign hopes Huffman and maybe another upcoming star (he wouldn't name them for the record but said an Oscar winner is among them) will want to say a few words about the typhoon, too, and help press the UN and the U.S. and neighboring countries to supply aid—because it isn't coming from the government in Myanmar, Healey says. "The government has been responding like we've been telling people they respond to its people: they don't."

The spots addressing the cyclone will likely stay up for a couple of extra days each, pushing the campaign originally slated to debut a new video a day beyond its original 30-day span. Huffman's representatives confirmed that she was shooting a spot for the Campaign on Tuesday but could not say whether she was going to speak about the typhoon. It would be hard to imagine her not doing so.
