Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga and Justin Timberlake are signing off from all social media platforms, and they won't be back until AIDS charity Keep a Child Alive has raised $1 million.

众明星退出社交网 迎接国际艾滋病日

For the campaign, the stars have filmed “last tweet and testament” videos and will appear in adverts showing them lying in coffins to represent their ‘digital deaths.’

Alicia will also be joined by her husband Swizz Beatz, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Ryan Seacrest, Elijah Wood and Serena Williams in the campaign, which will start on Wednesday, World AIDS Day.

为了配合明天(12月1日)一年一度的国际艾滋病日,包括小天后Lady Gaga、Justin Timberlake、Alicia Keys等人美国娱乐圈的一众明星决定自当日起退出一切社交网络,直至为艾滋病慈善机构Keep a Child Alive目击一百万美元的善款。同时,为了宣传这一倡议,明星们更是拍摄了电视广告《最后一次更新与遗嘱》:躺在棺材中以显示他们的‘digital deaths(数字化死亡)’。

Alicia said no one she has approached had turned her down, explaining: “Once I got people on the phone and I was able to paint the concept for them, everybody was in.”

Leigh Blake, who is president and co-founder of the charity, 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?”

加入这项由歌手Alicia Keys所发起的行动的明星还包括有她的新婚丈夫 Swizz Beatz, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Ryan Seacrest, Elijah Wood和Serena Williams。这项活动将于12月1日正式启动,届时,这些明星将从twitter、facebook、myspace等社交网络中销声匿迹。Alicia表示各位同行共襄盛举的热情让她很感动,她说:“我通过电话联系大家,向他们解释了这项行动的意图,所有人都二话不说的加入了。”

Almost all the stars involved have over a million followers on Twitter, with Gaga alone having 7.2 million.

Leigh added: “I have a feeling that Gaga is going to raise it all by herself."

据报道,这群明星拥有成千上百万的关注者,光是Lady Gaga一人便有七百二十万人之多,慈善机构的主席Leigh Blake说道:“我有种预感,Lady Gaga一人便能完成筹集善款的目标。”
