Stars Align in Campaign to Fight AIDS

October 3, 2006

An ad campaign timed to coincide with World AIDS Day on Dec. 1 will call attention to the epidemic in Africa in this, the 25th year since the first reports of the disease. A number of glossy national magazines are expected to run the ads, whose theme is "I Am African." Supermodel Iman lined up a host of celebrities -- including David Bowie, Elijah Wood, Alicia Keys and Sting -- to don African tribal paint for the ads, whose copy asks readers to donate funds to buy AIDS drugs for African patients.
