The song's most significant update is a rap breakdown lead by LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg and Will.I.Am.

And there is also a nod to the original record from 1985, when Foxx imitates Ray Charles, much to the amusement of Hudson.

"We ask you to do please more than just watch," said Foxx.

"Reach deep into your hearts and give anything you can as we have for Haiti.

"Whatever you have, no matter how big or small, it all helps."

The video finishes with Lionel Richie, who co-wrote the song with Jackson 25 years ago: "Wow... We Are The World 25' is an opportunity for us to see what we can do to help our fellow man.

"Haiti right now is in desperate need of our help - and you can help them."

Barbara Streisand has always been an international superstar, but never before had the the native New Yorker legend achieved a milestone as she did this past week: Babs' new album, Love Is the Answer, currently stands atop both the U.S. and UK charts.

"I want to share that honor with all of you," Streisand said in a statement issued to RadarOnline.com.

Love Is The Answer, Streisand’s first studio album in four years is a compilation of jazz pieces produced by the incomparable Diana Krall.

With Love Is the Answer’s success, Streisand also achieves a remarkable milestone of longevity, becoming the first artist to top the chart in five consecutive decades.

"You'd think that getting the news that you've been Number One in five consecutive decades would make you feel old," said Streisand, who surpassed divas from multiple generations -- including Madonna, Mariah Carey and Miley Cyrus -- for the respective top spots. "But this makes me feel young. Thank you all."
