Twitter FAIL: Alicia Keys Breaks Her Vow to Stay Off Twitter
Singer Alicia Keys attended a screening of “Biutiful” hosted by the Cinema Society with Miuccia Prada, Sandra Brant & Ingrid Sischy at the Lighthouse Theater in New York City last night.
Keys was widely criticized by her followers on Twitter.com yesterday after she broke her own vow not to tweet until she had raised $1 million for AIDS research.
Other celebs such as Kim and Khloe Kardashian also broke their vows to stay off Twitter yesterday. Keys tweeted a number that her followers could text to “buy” her life back. But apparently, few of her followers cared if she came back to life or not. Keys deleted her tweets once her followers protested.
The poorly received ‘Dead Celebrities’ campaign, featuring stars such as Usher, Serena Williams and Ryan Seacrest lying in open caskets, has raised less than $100,000 so far.

@ViBaby
I think I want to marry you because of that comment.
Anyway- come on Sandra- you knew that they wouldn’t keep their azzes off of Twitter for this. I hate to use your word- but this whole campaign was just a failed attempt to appease their own narcissism by saying: “People love me so much that they’ll pay money to keep me around.”
EPIC EFFIN FAIL!
As I said yesterday- use the money you save from your pending tax break extensions to raise the million, babe. Everybody else you begging from have 99 REAL problems, and you & the rest of the “billionaire’s club” disappearing for a few weeks AIN’T ONE.
GOOD MORNTING
@alicia proactive please?? and 
the fans actually got ur azz to break ur dam vow 
Bonaduce said it best.. All of these celebrities should donate their own money and stop depending on the poor/less fortunate to give to charity..

@ace i just got my droid x a few months ago. loves it! way better than blackberry *spits on and stomps on my old blackberry.
thx@Ace
Who cares?
Yeah Khloe definitely broke hers. They should have promoted where to donate log ago constantly and stay off. Only Lala & Carmelo I saw saying where to text mostly
i don’t think bc they’ve asked people to donate that they didn’t donate themselves. and also, its usually those who aren’t as fortunate that donate to causes. even a little bit helps. donating can be $1 if that’s all you can do.
i miss flo
owwwwwwwwww :bandan: <<<this is for my bish flo
Everybody has the Droid except ME!!!
me too laker! hold me
@CFREE get u one!
Who really gives a damn about them not being on twitter anyway? And the whole lying in a casket thing was a fukked up idea anyway…
I thought the whole thing was stupid anyway. Alicia doesn’t look like her normal self in these pics. I can’t put my finger on what’s different.

Their campaign mirrors their souls – DEAD.

How many of us called bullchit on this “campaign” yesterday? That’s right, most of us.
I knew this was more about ego than charity. Wish I had been wrong.
WERK AKEYS!
#teamAKeys

Some of these celebs think they’re gods and people will follow them to the ends of the earth. I’m happy it’s not working, I thought it was a stupid idea in the first place
Uhm..Imma need AK to NEVA wear her hair like that no moe! HATED it!
They should all stay “dead” and go away….OR better yet, combine their income to raise the money together their damn selves…why must they go offline to try to raise money like someone gives a damn?? They have more than enough money to get their narcissistic azzes back online.
Something about this ish is very MORBID and LAME, but at least its going towards a good cause
i’m wondering how much they spent on the photoshoot, conceptualizing, makeup, and stylists? couldnt they have just donated that money?
i’m just saying.

Or she could have asked all her celebrity “friends” to chip in and put up the money themselves. But narcissists never back away from a chance to get their shine on.

I knew if I said it often enough that you kids would finally get it.

FloridaChick813 is not banded, as you kids say.
it’s a morbid idea that no other celeb should ever do again. she should’ve known people were more concerned with them keeping their word and staying off twitter. you lose alicia.
Apparently, Akeys fav key is the “DELETE” function cuz that’s how she keeps her own cheat-tweeting in check. Her game plan is Tweet-Delete-Cheat-Tweet again, SMH! One thing I hate is some1 who changes the rules after game time. What else does she lie and cheat about?? Enquiring minds… yall thinking it. LOLz.
They should have asked Justin Bieber to do it, because you know his love sick fans would have put that money up for him in no time.
dang! this is a manly photo of alicia! maybe because the camera is so close!
she looks like Elvis
i would love to change my gravatar but its not working *sigh*
test
This is so sad not even 100K? well all of they should get today and get the money up!!!!!
