Kristen Stewart’s Haiti Donation
While George Clooney, Robert Pattinson, and practically every other celeb in the world helped raise more than $57 Million for Haiti relief, one star was upset she couldn't partake in the telethon last Friday: Kristen Stewart.
The Twilight babe was traveling Friday to Park City for the Sundance Film Festival, 'cause K.Stew had two films (Welcome to the Rileys and The Runaways) premiering.
But don't think that stopped her from helping out…
At the premiere for Welcome to the Rileys, the film's producers, Giovanni Agnelli and Scott Bloom, filled us in on Kristen's idea of how to help raise money for Haiti.
K.Stew & Co. raised cash by hosting four lucky ladies in Park City. The fortunate four paid handsomely for the privilege of a free plane ticket, a place to stay and the pleasure of Kristen's company.
"They paid, like, a thousand dollars a piece for tickets which went to support the cause for Haiti," says Agnelli.
Adds Bloom:
"Kristen on the plane here said [she was upset] she could not be doing the telethon…So we decided to use all that money to benefit Haiti."
Don't ya just heart this girl? Glad to hear she's a celebrity who knows how to use her star power for good.
Also, anyone else just a tad curious where Kristen was traveling from all day Friday? Just an FYI: It only takes about an hour and 15 minutes to get from L.A. to Salt Lake City.
But a trip from, oh say, England perhaps, certainly would make you completely unavailable for quite some time.
Just sayin'!
