CAST OF “DANCING WITH THE STARS” DECKED OUT IN “I’M TIRED OF…” BRACELETS
by Dan Hoffman
If you watched the last performances of “Dancing with the Stars,” you might have noticed that Lance Bass was wearing a pretty cool black and silver bracelet during both of his dances. That’s because he’s one of the latest celebrities to sport an
“I’m Tired of…” (ITo) bracelet. What’s Lance (right) tired of? He’s tired of Alzheimer’s and he’s not the only one. Brooke Burke (below left), besides being completely stoked about her win, is also tired of Alzheimer’s, plus Child Abuse and Autism. Kim Kardashian (below center) has “I’m Tired of Cancer” and Toni Braxton (below right) actually wears two of the “I’m Tired of Autism” bracelets. www.ImTiredOnline.com
