[QUOTE=Kentz;30741154]I did see one interview where she ate paper, to me she just seems to be a massive attention whore[/QUOTE] That's because she is. Most of the rumors mentioned were started by her, such as the one about her being a man. Its actually not uncommon in the world of celebrities to start rumors about yourself simply for the attention. Who do you think your average pop culture whore would rather follow: The celebrity who is calm and sedate and loyal to their spouse, or the one who gets drunk and parties constantly and has a reputation for cheating on their spouse? They feed off that drama.
[QUOTE=Kentz;30741154]I did see one interview where she ate paper, to me she just seems to be a massive attention whore[/QUOTE] You mean on Letterman? It's Letterman, his guests always joke around on that show. She didn't swallow the paper of course. Just like when Justin Bieber went on the show and pretended to not know who Letterman was, and people here called him an "ignorant little shit", completely ignoring the fact that it's a late night comedy show.
[QUOTE=Kentz;30740337]Are you saying that justifies that she earned money through peoples sympathy for earthquake victims?[/QUOTE] No I don't think it justifies anything, I am just saying I'm not surprised at all. [Quote]Libya is part of the arab world. when you see those commercials showing starving black kids it's not really north africa. [/Quote] I am aware that Libya is considered an "arab country" or whatever. But to me, Africa is this continent: [IMG]http://localhostr.com/files/coFkkLP/Africa.png[/IMG] And yes I know it's usually not footage from Libya when we see starving black kids in the TV, even though I am sure they are present there as well. But really, what I said earlier applies to pretty much any African country.
not really, the demographics of subsaharan africa are totally different from arab world africa.

She didn't scam a charity, its a rumor being spreaded around by a lawyer trying to get their name out there. Update this in the OP
You've been a very bad girl. A very, very, bad bad girl Gaga.
I thought the wrist bands were stupid anyway. It was like "PRAY FOR JAPAN" which I thought was stupid because praying doesn't do shit. It should have been "REBUILD JAPAN" or something like that. It's not like Japan is Haiti where we have to keep donating and worrying about them. They may not be out of the woods yet but they're highly industrialized and developed nation and they're dealing with it. They're still living in tents in Haiti. Hell the entire idea of the wrist ban was so you could go around and go "OH HERP DERP I donated $5 to JAPAN! Look what I got, aren't I a saint?" Fuck that, I donated $90 and I didn't tell anyone. I don't need recognition for basic human kindness.

[QUOTE=stepat201;30740771]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.[/QUOTE] no, no, no. you obviously didn't hear about the weird al controversy.
dont most charities take like 99% of all donations and put it in their pockets anyway?
[QUOTE=thisispain;30737905]not making any judgements on lady gaga but i must say that anyone who exploits charities is the scum of the earth[/QUOTE] I always thought that all charities were exploited or scams.
Yeah, I didn't think this was true. Lady Gaga is one of the most level-headed and responsible pop stars ever, despite the eccentricities.
Stop reading the titles, guys. Some guy is suing her because they think they have been pocketing the cash, not because they have rock solid proof.
[QUOTE=TBFundy;30747370]no, no, no. you obviously didn't hear about the weird al controversy.[/QUOTE] [quote][b]Wikipedia:[/b] The word spread to Lady Gaga and her staff, and eventually it was discovered she herself had not yet heard the song and the refusal had come from Gaga's manager without her input. As Lady Gaga is "a huge Weird Al fan", she subsequently gave Yankovic the green light to include the song on his upcoming album and said she loved the parody. Lady Gaga later considered being parodied by Yankovic as a "rite of passage" for her musical career and considered the song "very empowering".[/quote] Clearly

I remember she did wear a strap-on dick of sorts under her dress and she played around with the rumors, but I never heard she started any of it.
[QUOTE=thisispain;30737905]not making any judgements on lady gaga but i must say that anyone who exploits charities is the scum of the earth[/QUOTE] I refuse to give to charities until they streamline.
