FOR ALL the backlash surrounding the most-gabbed about celeb couple of our time, it's nice to hear Kim Kardashian and Kanye West using their powers for good, chatting with a Philly student in need of some positive vibes.

Kardashian posted a photo of herself on Instagram that showed her chatting on FaceTime with an ailing Alyson Raywood, who identifies herself as a St. Joseph's University student, class of '17. St. Joe's confirmed Raywood, who hails from Rumson, N.J., is an active student at the university.

"Kanye & I got to face time with the beautiful @AlysonRaywood Were praying for you!" Kardashian wrote on her Instagram, displaying a picture of Raywood with a cannula in her nose.

OUT AND ABOUT

* The Eagles turned out in full force on Tuesday to help raise money for the Big Brothers Big Sisters Southeastern PA with Fashion Touchdown, sponsored by Boyds and Zarwin Baum. Fletcher Cox, Malcolm Jenkins, Jenkins' wife Morrisa, Jeremy Maclin, DeMeco Ryans, Ryans' wife Jamila, Mark Sanchez and Marcus Smith all walked the runway. NBC10's Jillian Mele and Brittney Shipp, along with former Eagles Raheem Brock, Hollis Thomas, Vince Papale and A.J. Feeley (along with his Olympian wife Heather Mitts Feeley) were also seen hobnobbing. The event, hosted by Fox 29's Mike Jerrick and Alex Holley, raised $45,000.

District Attorney Seth Williams was spotted boxing his weight down at the Joltin' Jabs gym (4303 Main St.). Williams is looking to lose weight, hoping fellow Philadelphians will pledge a dollar for every pound he loses to donate to ALS research in honor of his cousin Wayne "Fade" Mack, as my colleague Jenice Armstrong did last week.
