Putting this post back on the front page for today

As you all most likely have heard by now Rob tak­ing part in the “Hope for Haiti” telethon via satel­lite from the UK. We’ve been asked by many peo­ple where and at what time the telethon will air. Here is the infor­ma­tion we’ve gath­ered so far. The 2 hour pro­gram will be com­mer­cial free and air start­ing at 8pm EST on Fri­day Jan­u­ary 22nd. It will be hosted by George Clooney in Los Ange­les, Wyclef Jean in New York, Ander­son Cooper in Haiti and Robert Pat­tin­son in the UK. If you know par­tic­u­lar chan­nels for your coun­try give us a shout so we can add it to our list.
