KIM KARDASHIAN DIES FOR CHARITY...

As much as many of you wish this was real (shame on you!) sorry to dissapoint. She and other celebs like Usher, Justin Timberlake, and Serena Williams are also willing to die for the cause-- digitally that is. No, need to fret. It's all in the name of raising at least one million dollars for Alicia Keys' "Keep A Child Alive" Buy Life campaign. World AIDS day is when many celebs have agreed to sign off of all of their social networks until the goal is met. That would be Wednesday, December 1st. Wow, wonder how "dead" Twitter will be? Pop the Trunk for Alicia's statement...


“It’s so important to shock you to the point of waking up”, says Alicia Keys of the campaign. “It’s not that people don’t care or it’s not that people don’t want to do something, it’s that they never thought of it quite like that. This is such a direct and instantly emotional way and a little sarcastic, you know, of a way to get people to pay attention.

Leigh Blake, President of Keep A Child Alive, added “We’re trying to sort of make the remark: Why do we care so much about the death of one celebrity as opposed to millions and millions of people dying in the place that we’re all from?”
It's a great cause and it's good to know that someone cares!

Props
