Over 120,000 people have attended the Sound Relief fundraising concerts in Sydney and Melbourne to help aid victims of devastating fires and floods in Australia. Artists including Kings Of Leon, Coldplay, The Bee Gees’ Barry Gibb, Olivia Newton-John, Gabriella Cilmi, Taylor Swift, electro-poppers Architecture In Helsinki and The Presets played the concerts, which were held simultaneously at the Sydney and Melbourne cricket grounds. The event raised thousands of dollars, with all of the profits going toward appeals in Victoria for victims of the recent bushfires that killed over 200 people in February, and to Queensland for people affected by ongoing flooding. Possibly the most poignant moment of the day, was when actress Toni Collette united both cities in a minute’s silence to remember those that did not survive Black Saturday, immediately following the Princes’ historic address.

Three talkshow appearances have been announced in which Toni will be promoting “The United States of Tara” this coming week. I’ll do my best to bring both appearances online. If someone out there is able to provide any kind of clips or caps from these programs, please drop me a line.

Upcoming appearances:

January 13 – The Early Show – Toni Collette
January 13 – The Tonight Show with Jay Leno – Toni Collette
January 16 – The View – Toni Collette and Diablo Cody
