Haiti Telethon Information
Team Twilight has a good post about all the information that has been released about the Haiti telethon airing tonight!

Who’s in:
Rob Pattinson will present from London, and it has been said he is hosting the London branch solo, but also that he will be manning the phones. You can read the article People.com had about him answering telephones.
Anna Kendrick will help out from the US base (I assume it’s in Los Angeles), and while I don’t know what she’ll be doing, my guess is answering phones.
Rachelle Lefevre will be involved in the Canadian fundraiser which will air just before the George Clooney-organized one.
Tinsel Korey will help out as MTV’s online correspondent during the fundraiser.Who’s not:
