Dang! You just beat me!

NEW YORK (AP) — Actress Kim Fields, who recently learned that she has roots in the Caribbean, is enlisting other celebrities to help the region recover from the hurricanes.

Fields is producing public service announcements for television and radio in which actors such as Blair Underwood ask viewers to support an aid campaign sponsored by the Caribbean Tourism Organization and its Web site, www.onecaribbean.org.

Fields, who starred in the TV shows "The Facts of Life" and "Living Single," also plans to organize a series of concerts to benefit those islands hit hardest by the storms.

"The Caribbean is a favorite vacation spot for many people, myself included," Underwood, whose latest show is NBC's "LAX," says in one of the ads. "Recent hurricanes have disrupted many Caribbean countries." He then asks viewers to "give generously" to the relief effort.

Fields announced the aid campaign at a news conference Wednesday in New York where she showed the ad featuring Underwood.

She added that "after prodding my 90-something-year-old grandmother, I recently discovered that my great-grandparents are from Jamaica." She also said she's vacationed and worked in the Caribbean "and enjoyed myself immensely."

Fields said other celebrities who have pledged to help out include actors Flex Alexander ("One on One"), Duane Martin ("All of Us") and Tisha Campbell-Martin ("My Wife and Kids"), and singers Anthony Hamilton and India.Arie.

The majority of Caribbean islands were untouched by the hurricanes, but the storms caused extensive damage on a handful of islands. Haiti, Grand Cayman, Grenada, Grand Bahama, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the Turks & Caicos islands and Cuba were the hardest hit.

This is the same woman who thinks the LAPD is out to oppress
African-Americans in Los Angeles. I find it strange that she should
be concerned about hurricane victims on some caribbean island.

Hey, if the shoe fits.....
