This is why I don’t like her. She spouts all that bullshit about changing the world and loving each other and taking care of each other and blah blah blah, yet she spends 11 thousand dollars on lingerie. She could very well have spent that $11,000 on food for starving kids or building houses for homeless people or some other altruistic thing, but no, she spends it on fucking underwear.
1) Whether or not she put money towards helping the less fortunate will not make it into mainstream media, because it’s not what’s interesting. Spending what we might consider exorbitant amounts of money on something simple like lingerie is “interesting” because it bashes a bashable celebrity. Interesting fact: donating the proceeds from just one stop in her Monster Ball tour to the Haiti relief effort was over $500,000. http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1944-lady-gaga To say she hasn’t actually donated money would be a complete fallacy.
2) It’s like that with a great majority of stars, especially the ones who use a sense of oddity as a main component in their stage personas. The only ones you typically hear about giving of themselves in the media are the ones who large portions of the media is specifically geared to making look as angelic as possible (mainly the Disney stars, who have the largest media net in the world behind their backs).
3) Tell me honestly, if you made enough that you could easily donate $500,000 without making a scratch in your income, would you or would you not spend frivolously every now and again? Yes, Gaga is known for random frivolous spending, but what would you do if you were absolutely loaded to the point that you were practically crapping money? Do you realize she makes about $90 million a year according to Forbes? $11,000 may seem like a lot to us, but to her, that’s pocket change.
