[quote]Lady Gaga is set to face a court following claims she scammed money from her own charity, We Pray For Japan.
The pop diva had been raising money for the victims of this year's Japanese earthquake by selling $5 wristbands.
On top of the sale price, she charged $3.99 for shipping and handling and $0.60 for taxes - but she's been accused of pocketing the extra dosh and won't reveal exactly how much of the $5 goes to the earthquake victims. Hmm...
"I'm suing Lady Gaga simply to hold her accountable for giving the money that she was raising for charity to the cause that she was trying to raise it for," said Ari Kresch, a Michigan attorney.[/quote]

And nobody was surprised.
Maybe we should sue the companies that go on tv with little black children and are like "SEND MOENY OR ELSE CHILD WILL DIE OF THIRD WORLDNESS"
not making any judgements on lady gaga but i must say that anyone who exploits charities is the scum of the earth

You must really hate Pat Robertson.
I'm a big GaGa fan but I will be upset if she's actually doing this.
She can be a little ambitious but this does strike me as a little out of character; she dropped a huge deal with target once, for instance, just because they had very minor ties to an anti-LGBT politician. Like, 2 degree separation.
Her agents might be behind it, you never know.

uh yeah

everyone should hate pat robertson
hey look a charity organization doing pretty much what charity organizations do.
if you want to donate to a "cause" or whatever, do it directly. don't go through an organization, it's excessively uncommon that charities take out less than 50% of the donation money for themselves

What do you expect from greedy pop star whores
broken/unexistent source
not to mention it really doesn't sound trustable even if it worked
:frog:
Most of the money that is sent to Africa, ends up as "Warlord Charity". Let's feed Mr. Gaddafi, Mugabe and the rest of their friends with new tanks and Jeeps!
Not sure if there is any truth to the source, but how desperate for money could Gaga really be?
Scams like that are a common deal since forever.
I'm not even surprised.
Doesnt that bitch have enough money?

Are you saying that justifies that she earned money through peoples sympathy for earthquake victims?
Seems like a massive bitch move on her part. That girl is weird.

Lady Gaga's not really like that at all. She's one of the smartest, most genuine pop stars I've ever seen if you actually watch interviews with her. It doesn't seem like something she would do.
Also, you do realize GaGa has been the star of a lot of false rumors for awhile, right? There's been rumors of GaGa and Beyonce having a row, Aguilera and GaGa having a row, GaGa being a man, the list goes on.

Exactly. She blew up in an interview recently because of the controversy over her fashion. If she wasn't really passionate about her fashion and her work, she would've just played it off like most pop stars putting on a show would - losing the popularity from a blow-up isn't wise to someone just looking to please the crowd.

I did see one interview where she ate paper, to me she just seems to be a massive attention whore
I can sue Obama for being a reptilian antichrist, but that doesn't make it true, or valid.
Charities being charities, from what I can see. Not for profit simply means you get to stuff the profits in the pockets of the upper management.
Dosh?

Yeah, North Africa is where those starving black kids migrate.
