A swath of celebs gather to record an updated version of "We Are the World." (Kevin Mazur/WATW handout)

Elsewhere in today's news:
Barbra Streisand was inside, still at work: "There's a choice . . . There's a choiiice . . . " She was recording (and rerecording) a 21-word solo turn -- her fussiness being broadcast live to a giant screen in the courtyard for all to see.
As she fidgeted on-screen ("It's true we make a better day . . . I don't know what to do here"), the R&B singer T-Pain couldn't help but smile. "I don't think she knows everyone can see her," he said.

She certainly didn't know her googly-eyes were on display.

I know it's for a good cause, but it just seems trite to redo "We are the world". I mean it was a great song originally, even though it got overplayed (understatement). You just can't outdo the original.
So why doesn't one of today's music moguls do something creative and write a totally new song? I guess Russel Simmons and P. Diddy have a long way to go to replace Quincy Jones.
