Ellen DeGeneres and American Idol's Randy Jackson are to host a fundraiser for Brad Pitt's 'Make It Right' home-building campaign.
The 'A Night to Make It Right' event will be held on March 10 at the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans as part of Pitt's continuing effort to aid those who lost their homes in Hurricane Katrina six years ago.
Jackson and DeGeneres will honour the culture and history of New Orleans along with local musicians including Dr John.
Rihanna, Seal and Sheryl Crow will also perform during 'A Night To Make It Right', while the meal will be prepared by celebrity chefs Giada DeLaurentiis and Emeril Lagasse.
Pitt launched the Make It Right Foundation in December 2006 to help build affordable homes for those who lost everything in Hurricane Katrina.
As of late last year, the Make It Right Foundation had constructed 75 homes for the families of New Orleans's Lower 9th Ward.
Earlier this week, Pitt received an Academy Award nomination for his performance in Moneyball.
