Friday’s two-hour Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief telethon raised more than $57 million from the general public with more being tallied from corporations, larger private donors and iTunes sales figures. So far, the single “Hope for Haiti Now” is the top-selling iTunes album in 18 countries, making it the biggest single day album pre-order for iTunes ever. The telethon attracted a total of 16.1 million viewers across six broadcast networks with a 4.3 rating among A18-49. ABC had the largest broadcast audience of 4.6 million viewers. These preliminary TV ratings do not include major cable networks such as MTV, CNN and VH1. Donations can still be taken for Haiti relief by visiting HopeForHaitiNow .org or by calling 877-99-HAITI. New series Food Tech on HISTORY premiered last Thursday at 9p, serving 718,000 A18-49; 784,000 A25-54; and 1.6 million total viewers. MTV’s first season finale of Jersey Shore last Thursday, delivered a 4.8 rating among P12-34 and more than 4.8 million total viewers. This concluding episode’s audience is more than three times the series premiere. Following the final episode, MTV aired Jersey Shore: The Reunion which posted a 4.9 among P12-34 and four million plus total viewers. Veteran film actress Jean Simmons, 80 died last Friday due to lung cancer. Throughout her impressive film career that began in 1944, Jean starred with the likes of Gregory Peck, Spencer Tracy, Kirk Douglas and Laurence Olivier and she won a Golden Globe for the 1955 musical Guys and Dolls starring opposite Marlon Brando. Jean also starred on stage in Sondheim’s musical A Little Night Music then later appeared on such TV shows as Murder, She Wrote and Star Trek: The Next Generation and the memorable 1983 TV miniseries The Thorn Birds from which she won an Emmy Award. Jean is survived by two daughters, Tracy Granger and Kate Brooks. James Mitchell, who portrayed Pine Valley millionaire Palmer Cortlandt on ABC’s All My Children, died last Friday in Los Angeles of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease along with pneumonia. James’ last appearance on All My Children happened earlier this month on January 5, marking the daytime drama’s 40th anniversary episode. Prior to his 30-year stint on All My Children, James was an accomplished dancer appearing in leading roles on Broadway in such musicals Brigadoon, Carousel, Carnival, Paint Your Wagon among others in addition to dancing with the American Ballet Theater in New York, Europe and South America and touring with the Agnes de Mille Dance Theater throughout the US. He also appeared in a number of films including That’s Dancing, The Turning Point, The Bandwagon with Fred Astaire and Deep In My Heart with Cyd Charisse. James is survived by his partner Albert Wolsky. Memorial services will take place at a later date.

HGTV hired Heather Armstrong, known as America’s “mommyblogger” under an exclusive programming development agreement where she will team with the network’s online and on-air production units to create new programming. Armstrong will headline HGTV’s social media efforts which will be unveiled in more detail this spring and continue to blog on her website at dooce.com.
