Kristen Stewart, mega-star of the Twilight series, was so distraught over the idea that she couldn't be in Los Angeles to participate in the Hope For Haiti telethon, that she decided to donate around $4,000 of someone else's money to the cause.

E! reports that KStew was en route to the Sundance Film Festival on Friday and expressed her regret to the producers of Welcome to the Rileys, Giovanni Agnelli and Scott Bloom. Four lucky ladies had apparently already paid for the privilege to attend the film's premiere at Sundance (and meet their heroine).

"They paid, like, a thousand dollars a piece for tickets," says Agnelli.

"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," added Bloom.

Wow, a whole $4,000 of someone else's money going to the cause? Not that $4,000 is anything to sneeze at, but it's just pocket change for a woman who is reportedly set to earn an eight figure payday for Twilight's final films!
