There's every right to be informed if a popstar is going around conning people.

And how is she conning people by spending her own money on her foundation?

She's not conning anyone. Have you never heard of an investment for a start up charity/company? There are costs associated with it. Not to mention, she spent a lot of money out of her own pocket.

QUEEN!


THIS is exactly what I want to hear and see from her.

She is a WINNER! And she is a winner for all of us. LOVE HER!

What she's been doing is very unethical and saddening to see as other people have been taken advantage of and mislead.

So giving her OWN money to a foundation to help it run is unethical

You being a hater usually means your bashes/shades to Gagz aren't cute, but this one is just moronic beyond belief

IDK why the Gaga stans are trying to doge the subject by bringing Madonna & personally attacking members

This is kind of a ****ed up news, you can't run away from it.

I'm thinking the same thing

Their trying to take away the attention from the situation at hand

it's really off topic and they should be ashamed of themselves



My heart goes out to those innocent people that had their hopes up gaga would help them.

Because the same people create threads like this all the time and try to drag Gaga down. They do it out of malice.

Nope, but I guess asking for donations for a foundation with no real purpose, and so far no meaningful outcome. I could be wrong...please enlighten me as to what exactly this foundation does.

How awful is Gaga? I mean, how dare she spend money from the charity she helped create to help create more awareness of said charity to, in return, raise funds even further? Y'all will try to drag her with anything. If she goes off and buys a new yacht with the money raised by the charity, then we have a problem. This, on the other hand, is not a problem, and, instead, is another attempt by Gaga's haters to try and bring her down. I'll give you credit though waunderlost. You are dedicated.

Paying her bills for her charity with her money is not conning people.

And if Office Depot was a homophobic company, and Gaga persuaded them to sell EQUALITY bracelets, how is that unethical? She's encouraged them to support an ideology they didn't in the past.

Because you have a habit of manufacturing arguments that don't exist.

Do I REALLY have to go back and quote people who are assuming she's conning people? I didn't say they said that exactly I said they are making it seem that way. You have a nasty habit of trying to make her look bad, which she does enough on her own as it is.... So I guess sir if you say so.

From all accounts she is at her computer a lot too. I've worked for two not-for-profits. I know the organisational structure and challenges they face, and you need dedicated, smart and knowledgeable people heading it. Good intentions only go so far.

Leave charity to the professionals? There are no professional donators. You don't get money for being charitable, there is no profession of charity. Unless of course you work for a non-profit, which comes from donations, which of course increase as publicity increases. And with an increase in donations the charity becomes bigger, and as the charity becomes bigger more people can be helped at a more constant rate.

The not-for-profit sector is huge. I delivers most of the human services in both developing and developed countries. To say there is no such thing as professionalism in the sector is really ignorant.

I think a better scenario is you and the other Gaga bashers having to... you know, deal? Gaga can choose her philanthropic channels as she sees fit. She's an activist, and she's doing what she feels is best - starting up her own organisation.

Of course she can do as she pleases. I just think it's better if she focuses on getting the music right, and now especially so in light of these allegations of poor management of funds.

Roger Friedman, former writer of forbes and fox is the author of this article. not angela cheng, not a madonna fan, not a bored fan. we're just posting what has already been reported. stop trying to make this about anything else or look for excuses and focus on the content of the article.

1. As if you actually care
2. What "innocent people that had their hopes up Gaga would help them"? All this article is saying is that Gaga paid a good deal of her own money to fund this foundation. The foundation needs funding to get out there. So yes, its in the process of trying to help people. This isn't a charity raising money for research like you guys are acting like.

But they CAN'T. That's why they get all frustrated deep inside. Because they will NOT break Gaga. They just won't and they can't.

She is QUEEN for millions of us. WE are her everything and she is everything for us.

Her intentions are pure and her devotion to the less fortunate and the troubled is not phony. She wants to help others and what's wrong with that?

You see, all these people are hurdles she has and can easily step over and go beyond to make a change in the world.

These detractors are NOTHING. They can keep trying but they will just not break her.
