Lady Gaga & Kim Kardashian To Quit Social Media For Charity

If you ever thought that nothing would stop Kim Kardashian from running her yap on Twitter, then you’re being proven wrong! I wasn’t a believer until now, but she, along with Lady Gaga and a host of other celebrities are giving up social media for charity.

Gaga, Kim, Ryan Seacrest, Justin Timberlake and Usher are taking part in raising money and awareness for Alicia Keys’ charity, Keep A Child Alive.


In doing their part, the celebrities plan to stay silent on Facebook and Twitter until they reach their goal of one million dollars raised. Anything for the cause!

The AP reports:

The entertainers plan to sign off of social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter on Tuesday, which is World AIDS Day. The participants will sign back on when the charity raises $1 million.

“It’s really important and super-cool to use mediums that we naturally are on,” Keys said in a phone interview from New York last week.

For the campaign — which also includes Jennifer Hudson, Ryan Seacrest, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Elijah Wood, Serena Williams, Janelle Monae and Keys’ husband, Swizz Beatz — celebrities have filmed “last tweet and testament” videos and will appear in ads showing them lying in coffins to represent what the campaign calls their digital deaths.

“It’s so important to shock you to the point of waking up,” Keys said. “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.”

If only there was a way to pay to keep Kim Kardashian off of Twitter….or even just to get her to stop slapping her name all over 800,000 endorsement deals….Surely that would be worth it.
