P. Diddy and Queen Latifah will host BET’s “SOS Saving Our Selves: Help For Haiti” telethon, MTV.com reports.  Airing live from Miami on February 5, the three-hour benefit will feature performances from Justin Bieber, Pharrell Williams, Mary J. Blige, Robin Thicke and Ludacris.

Funds raised during the event will go directly to organizations that are already providing relief in Haiti.  These organizations include Wyclef Jean’s Yele Haiti Foundation, C.A.R.E. and Project MediShare.  MTV, VH1, and Centric will also air the telethon.

Tweeps have offered their opinions about the scheduled performers and wondered how BET’s telethon will compare to last week’s telethon hosted by George Clooney:
