Kelly Rowland

IAC Consumer Applications and Portals announced today that R&B singer Kelly Rowland, Lil Mama, Scott Ian, Hinder, Teddy Geiger, and Jordan McCoy will serve as celebrity hosts at "Stage-Z" -- a full-day concert to be held July 7th in its virtual world, Zwinktopia. Stage-Z will raise awareness of the global warming epidemic and need for climate control reform. "Global warming is an issue that we need to confront, and I am proud to do my part to help today's teens understand the dire consequences of inaction on this issue," said Kelly Rowland. "Hosting at Stage-Z in Zwinktopia is an innovative way for me to spread this message to the online community." In conjunction with The Alliance For Climate Protection, Stage Z will broadcast in Zwinktopia (http://blog.zwinky.com), a virtual world for the more than seven million Zwinky avatars worldwide. Stage-Z will feature a 24-hour block of music videos, interviews, comedy, short films, and exclusive programming from today's top hip-hop, rock, pop, electronic, and metal artists as well as celebrity DJ's, comedians and actors. The event will coincide with Live Earth, a 24-hour, 7-continent series of 9 concerts taking place on July 7th that will bring together more than 100 music artists and 2 billion people to trigger a global movement to solve the climate crisis.
