They would include Jennifer Hudson, John Legend, Akon, Bebe Winans, Usher, Robin Thicke, LL Cool J, and Tevin Campbell.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Haggis will film the proceedings. What\u2019s still being finalized is where all the money will go; that should be announced by Friday. When the original \u201cWe Are the World\u201d was recorded in 1985, the money was funneled through its own organization.
