Usher Back From The Digital Dead

But its a lot sooner than he should have.

Several well known celebrities have "killed" themselves off digitally this week as part of the Keep A Child Alive's "Buy Life" initiative. Celebs like Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian and Ryan Seacrest have fell silent on Twitter in an effort to raise money for the cause. Usher was one of the supporters as well, until yesterday, when he resumed his tweeting activities.

Going back on your word, Usher?! Really?! They're not even halfway to their goal and you give up! (The organization has 298k of 1 million goal.)

We're really shocked and disappointed by this. It's such an easy way to do some good.

Such a shame.

For the rest of you, keep it up and if you want to see your fave celeb come back from the digital dead the right way, head over to buylife.org to learn more.

      P, you shouldn't be nasty. I see you're still tweeting. Why didn't U get in on the game?



    2. 2

      What does "digitally dead" mean exactly? Not posting on social sites? Sorry. I'm old but thought I knew what was going on…



    3. 3

      The only way I would donate money to this is if it were to keep celebrities silent, not vice versa.

      Perez - — really?!?!?! You've done alot of damage in the past and you need to pay your dues before you start judging and advocating!!! You need to do, at least, Kanye-redemption-time!

      the entire stunt is disappointing. that they have not made the goal by now is disappointing. the minimum donation of $10 is disappointing. why not just $1 per donation. i'm thinking they'd have surpassed the goal by now. after shelling out money to support these celebrities i'm confused as to why they are going about it this way. why not organize a concert where all of the money these celebrities would have been paid would go to the charity? its a noble cause but i am saddened by the way mrs. keys went about it. "support me & dig even deeper to support this cause". i wonder how many of these celebrities put up their $10 donations.

      Have you ever seen those pictures of people in a wind tunnel and their skin is all blown back….that is exactly what Usher's nostrils look like in this pic. Usher is one of the most over blown singers in the world, he honestly thinks he is in the same caliber as Michael Jackson…other then being African American there are no other similarities. He is very disgusting and seems to think that all women want a piece of this bitter dark chocolate. He is very sweaty and reeks of body odor according to his staff.

      Now I don't usually comment on one's physical features, BUT…someone needs to reign in that big-ass nose. Looks like the end of a double barrell shotgun! JUST SAYIN.



    8. 8

      I'd pay to make them stay away. I don't give a crap what a money hungry Kardasian has to say let alone Usher or Seacrest. None of these people do anything to help the homeless or hungry. The cash they make goes right in their own pockets for possee and bling. Sorry I'm just not interested in them at all.

      Lol lool at this picture, does he think he's michael jackson?? hahaha. Look at that nose, he's gonna fly in a bit!

      the whole idea was a big mess. to ask people to donate around christmas was a crazy idea in the first place. plus they only promo'd it a few days before.



    12. 12

      This sucks Usher!



    13. 13

      Why dont the celebrites give their only money and stop trying to take money from the public people are trying to pay their own rent all celebrity are so annoying they all have money but yet their want the public to donation their hard earn money to charity. When just one of them could of donation million dollar and they could of reach their goal and how arrogrant of them to think that people would really care that they are not on social network .

      Sorry - but if the celebs wanted to help so badly, they'd donate money themselves. Why is it the rich don't do nothing? Meanwhile the rest of the masses who are just trying to stay afloat financially are expected to give money to charity? Fuck that noise! I give to my local charities through payroll deduction, and it's not much. I don't know many people who have money to give away these days. The fucking rich celebrities could donate a tiny percentage of their salaries to charities and you know what? The world would be so much better off. But, I guess the rich are too fucking greedy to help out the poor. That's why I "steal" my movies and music through the internet. They have enough fucking money. Assholes. If they stop all file sharing sites, then I will always have the radio. I refuse to buy their shit and feed into their greed. But - if 50% of their album sales went to various charities, I'd buy all the albums I wanted because at least then it would be helping others instead of lining the pockets of big media companies.

      Re: othefan21 – Amen to that..celebrities have our money. They get it each time they put on a concerts or are on tv. Perhaps they should stop acting so holier-then-thou and cough up what they have..



    16. 16

      These people are rich and famous….
      They should be just handing over the money to charity and not raising money from fans that more than likely don't have it.
      Like this people really need more cash…. I want to see this "CELEBS" raise from the dead and match dollar for dollar raised…. THEN there will be a story to write about!



    17. 17

      AKEYS IS THE WORST!!!!! SHE TWEETS, THEN DELETES, AND THEN TWEETS AGAIN. BITCH THINKS WE'RE STOOPID OR SOMETHING. GET A LIFE…. NO WONDER THE CAMPAIGN IS A FUCKING EPIC FAIL!!!!! …LIKE SHE IS FOR MARRYING A LOSER (WHO ALSO HAS BEEN TWEETING - DOUCHE BAG SWIZZ BEATZ).



    18. 18

      And just how much money did you donate to the ’cause'? Why haven't you gone digitally dead? I wish you would, but then you couldn't get on here and blast people who decided it wasn't such a smart idea after all. Perhaps you'd find that people just don't care that much about you to pay to make you 'live' again.



    19. 19

      This is insanely funny they haven't reached their goal yet, its even funnier that lady gaga is in on it too. Its gonna be a while before they reach that goal. I'm going to sit back and enjoy not hearing from lady gaga or that slut Kim Kardashian. Life is good!



    20. 20

      Re: mgardner – Because perez knows he wouldnt make shit, it'd be an embarassment.



    21. 21

      i just checked the site & it says they are $5 over the goal. this morning they weren't even half way there. something stinks. a keys probably wanted to save herself the embarrassment & donated the rest.



    22. 22

      Someone had to finish off this mess by donating the rest of the money. It was a disaster from the beginning. It turned so many people off.



    23. 23

      btw he's back from the digital dead coz they DID raise more than $1mill ..



    24. 24
