Alley’s $1,000 Charity Contest

KIRSTIE ALLEY is pitting her fans against each other in a new online contest - for a $1,000 (?625) donation to their favourite charity.

The former Cheers star is offering her loyal Twitter.com followers the chance to earn cash for their favourite organisation - just for answering a simple question on Sunday (22Nov09).

In a post on her personal page, Alley writes, “I will ask you the contest question. Remember I like funny and smart. The best answer.. $1,000.00 to YOUR charity.

“You can play and win the contest if you are from another country but you have to donate the $ to a USA charity… so all of you can play.

“What gets me through tough times is helping someone in more need than me… not hard to find usually.”
