We caught up with some RENTheads who braved the early morning hours of the Today Show and the heat of Bryant Park, and they explained why they should get to go to the world premiere of the movie RENT. Click here to watch their videos and vote for who you think is the most deserving of the honor.

We're putting up a new batch of videos for the next two weeks, so after you vote (you can vote every day if you want), come back next Wednesday to see a whole new slew of RENTheads vying to attend the premiere.

ACCESS HOLLYWOOD will feature the broadcast launch of the RENT trailer tonight at 7:30PM on NBC. AOL MOVIEFONE will feature the online launch of the RENT trailer this afternoon. Click here to watch.

It's been a busy week here on the RENT blog... If your alarm clock didn't go off, your VCR freaked out, or your TIVO forgot all about the Today Show, we've got something for you. Here's a photo of the cast, and you can watch video of the cast performing Seasons of Love and What You Own. And, here's some extra coverage of the cast on both the Today Show and in Bryant Park.

So did you catch the cast's performance on the Today Show? What did you think? If you missed it, the cast performed "Seasons of Love" and "What You Own" on the Today Show this morning.

It was a big day for the RENT cast because they also performed at the Broadway for Life concert in Bryant Park to help raise funds for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, the nation's leading industry based HIV/AIDS fundraising and grant-making organization. As fans of the Broadway production, you know how important charity is to the spirit of RENT, and it's just as important to the movie as well. We've made mobile phone wallpapers of each of the characters from RENT, and when you buy any of these wallpapers, a portion of the proceeds will be shared with three charities close to the heart of RENT fans and Jonathan Larson: Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, The Jonathan Larson Performing Arts Foundation, and the National Marfan Foundation. So, how can you help? Text "RENT" to 4SONY (47669) on your mobile phone and download all the wallpapers. Then tell everyone you know to the do the same, because your voice can make a difference.

If you're planning to go to Rockefeller Center to see the RENT cast on the Today Show, you know you have to get there plenty early to get in line. Our RENT team (Brad, Amy, Jen & Zack) will be there, too, ready to capture you on film starting at 6:00 a.m. Here are pictures of their pretty/handsome mugs so you know who you're looking out for. Good luck!

And for all you RENTheads that are planning to catch the cast on TV, the performance is scheduled between 8:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. So set your VCRs, TIVOs, DVRs, etc., so you can watch it over and over again!

If you haven't been to iTunes yet, get going because "Seasons of Love," the first single from the RENT movie soundtrack, is available for download exclusively from iTunes. And, you can also check out the Seasons of Love music video that's on the Apple site, too. Click here to read the press release about it.

Just in case you were wondering why we chose to ask you to come to Rockefeller Center in New York to show us that you're the ultimate RENThead... It's official, and we can tell you that the cast of RENT is going to be there performing on the Today show!

And that's not all, we're pleased to announce that the fans' favorite RENThead will be rewarded with a pair of tickets to the world premiere of the movie RENT!

Remember, even after you show our RENT team that you are the ultimate RENThead, it's up to you to get all your friends, family, coworkers, classmates - everybody you can - to vote for your video because the fan with the most votes wins. In order to make sure that we track the votes fairly, we're having everyone who votes register on the site. So start talking it up to your people, and you and a friend could find yourselves on the red carpet of the premiere!

Since there are still a few breaking details we have to share, be sure to check back each day this week for more news like where to meet, what time to meet and who you're looking for.
