Back in April, we reported that Lupe Fiasco, Justin Timberlake, and Neptunes associate Kenna were going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in the fall in in an effort to raise awareness for the worldwide water crisis through a program called Summit on the Summit.

Bad news: It didn't happen this fall. Good news: The trek is now set to go down in January. Bad news: Timberlake can't make it anymore. Good news: Santigold and Jessica Biel are now on board.

Can someone please tape this and make a reality show out of it? I hope nobody gets eaten.

Santigold released this statement about the trek in a press release:

"I was intrigued by this endeavor the moment Kenna told me about it, for many reasons. The first being that any time I am invited to participate in an event that could potentially save lives, I am inclined to get involved in any way I am able to. Especially for something as basic as clean water which should be accessible to every single living creature on this planet. I don't think that many people, especially in the United States, realize what a huge problem this is in many areas of the world, and so I think just drawing awareness to the problem, will be a step in the right direction.

In addition to my desire to participate in the charity aspect of the climb, I was also intrigued by the personal challenge involved. As scary as it is, especially to a person as out of shape as I am, the opportunity to climb Kilimanjaro comes around once in a lifetime, if you're lucky. It's as pure of an adventure as you can find; there's the goal of aiding in the accessibility of clean water, the physical challenge, the beauty, the exposure to a new culture and environment, and the camaraderie of all the climbers."
