Justin Timberlake & Lady Gaga Unplug Twitter for Charity

Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga, and Justin Timberlake and other celebs will give up their digital life — Facebook and Twitter — starting Wednesday, December 1, in an effort to raise money for charity.

The Digital Life Sacrifice event will raise money for Alicia‘s charity, Keep a Child Alive and raise awareness for World AIDS Day. The stars will sign back online after the charity has raised $1 million.

“This is such a direct and instantly emotional way and a little sarcastic, you know, of a way to get people to pay attention,” Alicia told the Associated Press.

The celebs – including Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Ryan Seacrest, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Elijah Wood, Serena Williams, and Alicia‘s husband, Swizz Beatz – have also filmed “last tweet and testament” videos that show the stars lying in coffins.
