ONCE IN LOVE WITH HAITI . . .

Unlike the fictional "Derek Zoolander's Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good" from 2001's Zoolander, Ben Stiller's Haitian School Initiative is legit. After last January's devastating earthquake, the actor launched the charity campaign with the goal of building temporary schools in Haiti, raising more than $300,000 to date. Stiller even starred in a few viral videos peddling Stillerstrong headbands (a la Lance Armstrong's Livestrong wristbands) to famous friends like Owen Wilson, Ryan Seacrest, Robert De Niro and President Bill Clinton. As part of comedian Greg Behrendt's "Bring the Rock" at Largo, Stiller joins more of his pals -- including Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age and Them Crooked Vultures, Moon Zappa, fellow comic Al Madrigal and Behrendt's band Electric Snowflake, featuring Nina Gordon of Veruca Salt -- for a night of rock covers, funny stories and other "rocktails."
