According to TMZ.com, pharmaceutical mogul Steve Rahr donated up to $700,000 today to buy back the lives of Alicia Keys, Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga, Usher and other narcissistic celebrities on social networking websites.
Celebs such as Ryan Seacrest, Khloe K. and La La Vazquez participated in the ‘Dead Celebrities’ campaign by taking ghoulish portraits lying in open caskets.
The stars logged offline on Tuesday, Nov. 30, and vowed not to sign back on until $1 million had been raised for the ‘Keep A Child Alive’ cause. Keys and the other stars hoped that their fans deemed them worthy enough to cough up the cash within 24 hours.
But 18 hours postmortem, Alicia Keys arose from the dead to leave a tweet on her Twitter account nudging her followers to go donate. Her followers responded with anger and complaints that Keys had broken her vow to stay offline.
By this morning, the donations reached the $200,000 mark and appeared to stall there until Rahr’s generous donation.
