I Was Enjoying The Quiet
For the past week I have loved seeing all the celebrities stay dead on social media. It turns out that all of us can live without them tweeting their daily activities and that we don't really care what they are promoting on Twitter. After a week of being dead to raise a $1M for charity, a group of celebrities including Usher, Lady GaGa, and all the Kardashians. The celebrities who participated thought it would just take about 24 hours for the funds to be raised, but after a week, they started calling people to give the rest. They finally found a guy who is a billionaire to cough up the $500K needed for the celebrities to start tweeting again.
Usher gave up a few days ago and has been Tweeting since Sunday. The guy (pictured above) who gave the money said, "I heard through the grapevine that they were short on their goals, and I wanted to help. I sold my company, and I wanted to give back to others in the Empire State."
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ENTY, MUAH
ReplyDeleteLOVE YA AND ALL YOU DO FOR US ON THIS AWESOME SITE, YOU ARE THE REASON I COME BACK FOR MORE EACH DAY!
Hope he's a real billionaire. They had better wait and see if the check clears.
ReplyDeletePass it along his grapevine that I am short on a few goals, too.
ReplyDeleteLady Gaga's account was active and tweeting the whole time to remind people that she was "dead" and to donate money. It was quite annoying, really.
ReplyDeleteLol - here's a suggestion: don't follow the celebrities that annoy you and you won't have to deal with their self-serving tweets. You couldn't pay me to follow Kim Kardashian. Okay, that's a lie - I'd follow her for the right price.
ReplyDeleteThis guy looks like an oven fried Oompah Loompah. What company did he sell? Douchbags R Us.
ReplyDeletejust goes to show - a very small percentage really gives a rat's ass what any of them have to tweet about!
ReplyDeleteHow about these "celebrities" donate the money themselves, seeing as they have way more of it than the rest of us?
ReplyDeleteAlso, they could still shut up. That would be killer.
If I even meet the inventor/founder of Twitter, they're getting the biggest verbal ass-kicking a human can endure. Twitter is just as bad as Facebook, if not worse.
ReplyDelete(BTW, if you can find me on FB, you can add me. Just shoot me a message saying who you are...)
What the fuck is THAT??
ReplyDeleteIt was drug money. Big time drug money. The legal kind. But he's married, if that matters to anyone anymore.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice not having self-promoting famewhores all over my Twitter feed. I really ought to delete some more of the celebs I'm following.
ReplyDeleteWhat were they raising money for?
ReplyDeletehaha..I really haven't been on Twitter much lately so I hadn't even noticed. Kind of funny that their plan semi-backfired.
ReplyDeleteI never heard what they were raising money for?
ReplyDeleteIt was to raise money for AIDS.
ReplyDeleteAIDS research, AIDS awareness, something like that?
ReplyDeletewhat miranda said.
ReplyDeletei've got one person on twitter.
and i can't figure out how to read it.
they couldn't raise a lousy one mil for AIDS?
that's sad commentary on the gossip and entertainment communtity.
i know, let's get wesley snipes to donate. after all, it's a write-off, right?
