LADY GAGA : SUED for JAPAN BRACELETS....WHAT????

Lady Gaga Sued for Japan Bracelets
Apparently according to the (AP) and news sources from Michigan, Lady Gaga is being sued in her efforts to raise money for the victims of the March Tsunami/Earthquake in Japan. Michigan Legals 1800LAWFIRMS are alleging that Lady Gaga and the companies that are associated with selling, advertising and marketing the "We Pray for Japan" white bracelets are 1. charging to much shipping and handling and 2. showing "inflated reports of total donations" for the bracelets. There have been no comments from Lady Gaga or the companies associated with the sales of the bracelets as of yet. (In her defence however she is in Japan right now performing concerts in efforts to raise money for the victims of the disaster)
LETS GETS REAL PEOPLE!!!!!
Now clearly there have been efforts in the past when the public has been slightly steered in a direction to believe that money donated to help others may have been accepted and used for profitable reasons. There is no doubt that there are many money hungry people in the world who use unique circumstances to their own selfish benefits in order to make mounds of money. There is no denying that we have all been blindsided before due to terrible individuals who tear tirelessly at our heartstrings to make us donate to a cause we truly believe in. And, once they receive our hard earned money they instead pack the profits in their own pockets instead of giving to those in need. BUT SERIOUSLY PEOPLE This is NOT one of those cases. 
Lady Gaga has spent her entire fame and fortune career trying to teach others about tolerance, equality, being accepting and to lend a helping hand to those in need. The singer flew out to Japan to perform at a benefit concert to sing and send out a message to her fans and others to "come to Japan". Gaga made the bracelets in order to get her "little monsters"  involved in raising money to help the victims of Japan on a monetary level that everyone could afford and certainly NOT to put a profit in her own pocket. The singer has donated now over $3 million of her own money. Clearly she was not scheming and planning to overcharge fans a few measly dollars in shipping and handling.
That's not to say there isn't a problem going on here. Perhaps there was a mistake made on the part of a marketing or advertising third party in the planning of the sales of the bracelets. But, to honestly come out and say that they are suing Lady Gaga for attempting to pocket the money on shipping and handling and showing inflated reports of total donation figures is just simply ludicrous.
Lady Gaga has made millions of dollars for ....well...for just being Lady Gaga. Her "little monsters" love her for her unique, outrageous outfits, her superb singing voice and the many messages she sends out to others of unity, equality, tolerance, love and GENEROSITY.
If there was a glitch somewhere in the planning that made the "Japan bracelet Project" somehow make a profit, it surely was a mistake and NOT done on purpose by the performer. In fact the problem lies within the fact that these days people don't always put efforts in to trying to help others just because they are afraid of something like this happening. Lady Gaga is a woman who should be commended for using her fame and fortune to try to help others and instead shes is getting bad press and back lash for it. (Thumbs down for the cynics accusing the singer for fraud!!) and (SNAPs again for GAGA always willing to help out others)

"Pray for Japan" bracelets to help
victims of Tsunami and
earthquake in Japan

Lady Gaga is in Tokyo, Japan this week, doing what the singer does even better then her perfect performing. She is giving of herself to help others. On Thursday Jun 23, (according to the associated press) Gaga attended a press conference to talk about MTV Video Music Aid Japan. "I can't say enough to people all over the world that the majority of Japan right now, Japan in general is very safe." said the singer. She is there as part of her concert tour and is trying to encourage other performers, as well as tourists to come and visit Japan. Many people have been uneasy about visiting the country due to a chemical leak from a nuclear reactor meltdown caused by the devastating earthquake/Tsunami that hit Northeastern Japan on March 11 of this year. Proceeds from the MTV Video Music Aid for Japan will be going to the victims of the horrific disaster. 
Gaga, looking uniquely stunning as always, was photographed drinking out of a Japanese tea cup inscribed with the words "Pray for Japan" on it. The singer said she would later auction off the tea cup and donate the money she receives to the victims of the disaster as well. Lady Gaga will also be attending the MTV Video Music Aid for Japan which is being held at the Makuhari Messe ( a Japanese convention center) in Chiba (a city outside of Tokyo) on Saturday June 25, 2011. Gaga has been nominated for three awards for the evening as well another international artists such as Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, and Linkin Park. Also nominated are Japans own Al and Yui.
Lady Gaga also was quoted stating " The most important thing, and the best thing, we could do for Japan is to boost Tourism, and so everyone come to Japan and come enjoy the beautiful country." She was awarded a special honor and thank you from officials in Japan for her enormous generosity and her willingness to help the country in need. After the event Gaga is scheduled appear in Taiwan, Japan on July 1st.

Does it even need to be said, that Lady Gaga, once again has used her fame and fortune for yet another incredibly unselfish act of kindness? The unbelievably unique singer, song writer, and humanitarian continues to work diligently tyring to make the world a wonderful, better place. She uses her special gifts to sincerely speak up for those without a voice and does it simply because she truly believes it's the right thing to do. Lady Gaga would have an enormous following on her tremendous talent and outrageous appearance alone. It is of her own choosing to help the helpless and preach words of wisdom. Gaga has again simply succeeded in giving her many fans around the world another reason to root for the "Mama Monster". (SNAPs again for Lady Gaga) and SNAPs for all those helping the victims in Japan.
