On Friday night the Hope For Haiti Now (HFHN) telethon aired on several channels. A tons of celebrities (e.g. Reese Witherspoon, Steven Spielberg, Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore, Colin Ferrel, Cindy Crawford, George Clooney) and musicians (e.g. Christina Aguilera, Wyclef Jean, Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake) were there manning the phones and performing; I heard yesterday that some $57 million was raised just that night.
I watched some of it, but I didn't call in. I thought it was a really tasteful and heartfelt program that they put on- when the celebrities came on to say something they didn't say, "Hi, I'm George Clooney..." and make it all cheesy. Many of them were wearing no makeup and talking to people on the phones like real people, not all prepped and glamorous.
I was surprised to see Rob Pattinson on- when I saw him I shouted "Look!" impulsively. My mom was in the room, she know that I like him, and she was like "Call! Call in and talk to him! hahaha!" lol.

Remember they are only pledges they receive. A lot of people will ring up just to talk to a celeb...they won't actually send any money. They should not say they raised so much they should say "this much was pledged".
I wonder what the actual final total will be...not much I'm sure.
