Kim Kardashian going ‘silent’ for a cause

Kim Kardashian needs to get a life.

The brunette bombshell, seen here in a photo hot enough to wake the dead, and a host of other celebs are sacrificing their digital lives — from Facebook to Twitter — in order to raise money for AIDS.

And for all of those who can’t live without the musings of the “Keeping up with the Kardashians” co-star, she and the others will remain Web “dead” until $1 million has been raised for Keep a Child Alive, a charity co-founded by Alicia Keys and Leigh Blake.

This Wednesday, World AIDS Day, Kardashian, who has more than 5.4 million Twitter followers, will be joined by the likes of Lady Gaga, Ryan Seacrest, Justin Timberlake and a host of others and sign off from all social-networking platforms.

The macabre move is designed to show solidarity with those in Africa and India affected by HIV/AIDS.
