Lady Gaga Creates Prayer Bracelet to Benefit Disaster Relief in Japan

[davidinalameda]

Hours after the world learned the shocking news about Japan's 8.9 quake and 10-meter tsunami, Lady Gaga launched a movement on Twitter to raise relief funds.

The singer has designed a white and red wristband for fans to purchase in her official online store, according to MTV News, and she says all sales proceeds will benefit victims of the disaster. And the $5 price tag can be voluntarily increased by any buyers wishing to boost their monetary donations.

On Friday, along with a purchase link and photo of the bracelet, Gaga announced to her army of loyal admirers on Twitter, "I Designed a Japan Prayer Bracelet....ALL proceeds will go to Tsunami Relief Efforts. Go Monsters."

3. I love when people use their fame for a good cause.

Good Lord, it seems so trite, but I'm going to get one. It's easy to feel helpless in the wake of such mass human misery. Every little bit helps, though.

6. Good cause, but I think it's more about her than them.

AKA publicity stunt. Charlie Sheen stole her headlines and she wants it back.

10. Gaga can and has done any number of things to bring attention to herself...

This is not one of them.

12. you say that about a woman who wears meat dresses? Jeez.

why can't you accept that a woman with a long track record in helping people is doing just that. She walks out her door and gets publicity. She doesn't need to do anything.

7. Gaga is a freak

I mean, look at her! And what does she think she is doing throwing her support to so many worthy causes and purposes? Who the hell does she think she is? Get back to entertaining the sheeple!

9. She makes a point of doing good things with her celebrity.

I like her style.

11. "all proceeds will go to..." is a sketchy phrase, but here's to hoping all is above board

and much monetary relief gets to Japan.
