Guitar owned and signed by Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy)!
Donated by: Tom Felton

A hardback Deathly Hallows signed by the entire cast of the film!"A truly special item: Evanna Lynch (who ( Read more... )

So. The HP Alliance podathon for Haiti is still going, I think; at the end of the last hour they had Evanna Lynch (Luna) and Matt Lewis (Neville) on--in fact, as of this writing, I think he's still on. Also, Tom Felton (Draco) is apparently donating a guitar. What I'm hearing is that the donations will keep going until the 30th, and I think a few ( Read more... )

It starts in about half an hour--hell, it'll probably be in progress by the time I finish writing this entry--so I thought I'd update you on some of the prizes that have been donated, because some of them aren't listed yet. (ETA: Official prize list.) FOR REAL, I AM SO INCREDIBLY NOT KIDDING:

I am starting to reconsider this whole liveblog thing. The donation link is hopeforhaitinow.org, by the way. And then he says something about "help Haiti heal," which I am going to take as a ( Read more... )

So basically, George Clooney went to MTV and said, "I'm George Clooney, give me a telethon," and thus: it was so. And pretty much 83% of Hollywood will be manning and womanning the phone bank. The other 17% will be presenting. Like, seriously. He got Jack Nicholson to chat with the plebes. And then all the other channels agreed to run it, because ( Read more... )

Well, it shouldn't be too hard, I figure, because you wouldn't exactly transcribe musical performances. And, let's be honest: we're all really going to be watching it for some pop-culture successor to "George Bush doesn't care about black people." And I don't know about you, but I want to be here for that ( Read more... )
