MTV BACKSTAGE DURING THE TELETHON
All the excitement created via Twitter between Jim C and the Archies gave birth to the Virtual Cupcake Donation Drive to benefit two parties š
– Haiti Relief – donations from Peace.Love.Cupcakes when you buy a virtual cupcake in Jim’s and David’s names
– Arch Angels Relief – for the most sorted video of David’s gorgeous and heartfelt rendition of PRAYER OF THE CHILDREN for the MTV producers and crew during his interview.
Most telling statement : “They don’t call you guysĀ Arch Angels for nothing.”
Plus, David needs to/should/must record POTC already. No one sings it like David. Proceeds, of course to charity?

David Archuleta Sings For Haiti, Superfans Raise Big Bucks
Last Friday’s “Hope for Haiti Now” telethon was a smashing success. Not only did it raise a stupendous amount of money for earthquake survivors in Haiti, but it also spread the word that the generosity needs to continue through the coming months. The fans of “American Idol” alumĀ David Archuleta took that message to heart and spent their weekend raising even more money for Haiti in the form of a “virtual cupcake drive,” partially in my honor. Seriously!
Here’s the story: MTV News correspondent Sway chatted with several of the participants of the telethon Friday night, including Archuleta (or as I call him, Archupuppy or Archadorable ā depending on my mood). Sway noticed that David was humming to himself before their interview began, so when it came time to roll tape, he asked the “Idol” star if he wanted to share a song with the world.
This should come as no surprise to Archie’s fans, but David happily obliged and treated MTV News to an impromptu (and heart-stoppingly gorgeous) rendition of Kurt Bestor’s “Prayer of the Children.”
I casually tweeted that we had witnessed a spur-of-the-moment mini-concert from Archuleta, and within seconds my Twitter was inundated with pleas from David diehards desperate to see the video footage that I had just bragged about. What started as half-joking bribes of cupcakes snowballed into a virtual cupcake drive. To donate to the Haiti relief effor, send a TwitPic of a cupcake to@jambajim! (You can see this ingenious idea develop by checking out the timeline onĀ Peace Love Cupcakes.)
By Tuesday afternoon, a generous group of fans had raised $3,850 in mine and David Archuleta’s names! As David would say, “Oh my gosh, Ashley!!”
So toĀ @janey79,Ā @karenkid,Ā @momJulee,Ā @BeckyFOD, all the David Archuleta fan sites and blogs who helped spread the word (as well as the dozens of fans who donated money), I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my “Idol”-addicted heart. Your dedication and ingenuity is an inspiration to us all. They don’t call you guys “Arch Angels” for nothing.
See what I mean? Even Just Jared Jr. blogged about POTC. Haih.

New Vlog!
All right, I’m sorry for that amazingly annoying clicking noise! I didn’t hear it while I was making the video. But it’s too long to redo the whole thing.- Sorry that this is so long! But I just felt like I needed to talk a little more about helping Haiti. It’ll make up for the lack of blogging right? haha. I’ll try and teach myself how to shorten them in the future. But Thanks everyone who’s been donating and helping Haiti! I had a great time in Central America and can’t wait to go back! Can’t wait to start more writing sessions next week, and thanks on behalf of me and my sister for all the Japanese culture items! haha.
