Lady Gaga 'Dies' On Twitter For Charity
Monday November 29, 2010

Elizabeth Scott, Sky News Online


Some of Twitter's most popular celebrities have pledged to give up tweeting to raise money for charity, leaving millions of followers bereft.



Stars including Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake and Usher are to sign off from Facebook and Twitter.

They will only log back on when one million dollars - around £640,000 - is raised for Aids charities.

The Digital Life Sacrifice initiative, organised by Alicia Keys, is in aid of the Keep a Child Alive charity.

It raises money for families in Africa and India affected by HIV/Aids.

Gaga is certain to make a big impact on the campaign.

She is one of the most popular celebrities on Twitter, with over 7 million followers and close to 24 million fans on Facebook.



Kim Kardashian, who is a prolific tweeter, will also join the campaign alongside Jennifer Hudson, Ryan Seacrest, Elijah Wood and Serena Williams.

Each celebrity has filmed a video of their last tweet and testament.

Adverts supporting the campaign will show images of the artists lying in coffins to represent their digital deaths.



Charity ambassador Alicia Keys persuaded a host of celebs to take part.


Keys, who is the co-founder and global ambassador for the charity, said everybody asked had agreed to take part.

The singer, who recently became a mother, is encouraging other famous faces and non-celebs to get involved.

"It just doesn't have to be just because you're a celebrity or something like that. It can be anybody."

The vow of silence begins on World Aids Day on December 1

N'aww and look what the head of the charity said:

I have a feeling that Lady Gaga is going to raise it all by herself. She has more than 7.2 million followers on Twitter and nearly 24 million fans on Facebook. She’s got a very mobilized fan base and that’s beautiful to watch and she’s able to draw their attention to these issues that are very important, you know, and that people follow it and act.

:')

If you go to the website, without knowing whats going on it's really scary coz it just says LADY GAGA WILL DIE

It's not so nice, it's bribing their fans really.

They can ****** off and stay off Facebook if that's how they're acting.

I thought it was a good thing. Until I read that they needed to raise enough money to get her back online.

I also don't think that is the right way to get the money, no matter if it is for charity or not.

[Shaun]

Bit lame. They could just donate that money themselves...

[Smithy]

Even "dead" she's hot

[Smithy]

They reached their target!
