On her blog, A Kind Life, the avid vegan and mother of Bear Blu posted last week about her latest endeavor: Kind Mama Milk Share, a breast milk sharing program inspired by a conversation she had with one of her friends, who struggled to produce enough milk for her own child. Silverstone explains, "She tried reaching out in her community for donor milk, but it was almost impossible to figure out what kind of lifestyle choices the donors had made. And after all that hard work keeping herself vibrant and healthy, she felt she had a right to demand better for her baby." The actress continued her call to nursing moms out on the Internet: "I say we help support those mamas and babies who need a hand during one of the most important times in their lives. It's why I'm starting the Kind Mama Milk Share, a way for moms to connect with other moms in their area ... Think of all the babies we can help raise together!" The endeavor's since picked up some speed in Silverstone's comments section, and though the concept of sharing baby milk remains controversial, it will hopefully assist a few worried parents and infants in need. But don't taint the supply! They're looking for Kind Mamas, or more specifically, "beautiful souls who recognize the importance of food as health" (aka vegans only).

Alicia Keys Is Picking Tumblr Users to Document Each Tour Stop
Brian Anthony Hernandez2013-04-02 15:30:18 UTCSinger-songwriter Alicia Keys and her imaginative digital team have been selecting Tumblr users to document every stop along her Set the World on Fire tour. The photos above showcase some of their posts.
"The unbelievable art, photos and GIFs that the Tumblr community create and share every day truly inspires me," Keys, who this year became BlackBerry's global creative director, said when announcing the news on Tumblr.
The Tumblr users had applied, and one person was chosen for each city so far and given a photo pass, two show tickets and two meet-and-greet passes. People can still apply for future stops along the North American concert tour.
They've been posting their work on their own blogs, but Keys has been giving them a boost by reblogging their posts on her Tumblr, TheKeysOfAlicia.Tumblr.com.
Keys and company are hoping users will create GIFs, oil paintings, collages and more.
The Tumblr initiative is one of several digital components of the tour, which also includes:
The Set the World on Fire tour is Keys' fifth tour, which features songs from her fifth studio album, Girl on Fire.
