More than 130 actors, musicians and athletes came together Friday (January 22) for MTV's "Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief." The star-studded telethon included performances by Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys and Wyclef Jean and featured a celebrity panel of phone operators to answer donors' calls. Among them were young stars Selena Gomez and Kevin Jonas, who spoke with MTV News about volunteering for the event.
Selena Gomez, the star of "Wizards of Waverly Place" and a UNICEF ambassador, has been urging fans to donate since the 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Port-au- Prince last week. When Selena was asked to participate in the telethon, there was no way she could say no.
