January 21, 2010 Posted by Lindsay in Anna Kendrick,Kristen Stewart,Rachelle Lafevre,Robert Pattinson,Taylor Lautner,Tinsel Korey

I am lumping this all together in one post, but be forewarned, it’s lots of information. But I know everyone is curious where they will be able to watch the Hope for Haiti telethon and wondering which Twilight cast members are involved and will be answering phones. Click through for all the details I have managed to gather.

So here’s what we know:

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:
Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart

i'll deffo be watching it 2nite and give some cash also gonna tell all my twilight friends about it. but cant belive how selfish k-stew is being but its her loss and tays loss anyway.

laurie82

She is at the Sundance Festival you cant call her selfish simply because she had a former obligation

angie81

Why does it make her selfish if she's not doing it?? She might be doing other things to give her support for all you know.
Good on the celebs who are doing it but just because some aren't doesn't automatically make them selfish.

TeamJasmett

I think its brilliant that the twilight cast and other celebrities are using their world wide fame to raise awareness and money for the less unfortunate people in haiti.

Its also great that the fans respond so well to this, The twi-hards themselfs have raised thousands which is amazing!
keep up the good work.

but one last thing... scouts honor? (he looks like he is doing scouts honor or a brownie promise) bless his cotten socks!

JMtoCullen

I can't wait to watch!! At my school I donated can foods and other things. They r being sent today. It feels good to help. :)

elle_may

team_tayward24

tuwanda54

I love Rob so much that it becomes hard to breathe when I see his face.... but, is it me or is his fly down in that pic?? LOL, i love his EVERYTHING, how relaxed, nonchalant, and humble he is. If his fly is down- YES! He's human!
