Lady Gaga Creates Prayer Bracelet to Benefit Disaster Relief in Japan

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."
'We Pray For Japan' is emblazoned on the accessory, which also features a red hand forming Gaga's famous "monster" claw motion.
Lady Gaga's connection to Japan is a strong one. She got two
tattoos there in 2009, including one that reads 'Tokyo Love.' Of her meaningful collaboration with legendary Japanese photographer Araki, she explained at the time, "He did not photograph my image; he photographed my soul."
And she introduced a mysterious alter ego in 2010,
male model Jo Calderone (although she hasn't confirmed it was her), posing for a cover of Vogue Hommes Japan in a guy's white shirt and Elvis-style pompadour.
As word of the devastation in Japan spread (including news on Saturday of a magnitude-6 earthquake in the northern city of
Fukushima), many celebs have been rallying followers on Twitter to pitch in for Japan tsunami relief, with countless tweets posted pleading for donations to the Red Cross.
The
Red Cross urges: "Text REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation to help those affected by the earthquake in Japan and tsunami throughout the Pacific."

You shouldn't speak of yourself like that! I heard that if you downsize yourself to much you could harm your emotional self and slip into depression...
Why would the USA need any more"friends" friends help and respect one another right?

How EFFING arrogant. Jesus, these stupid celebrities have no problem bilking us into buying crap like this to benefit the Japanese, but where are they when WE need help? Like us 99'ers, who still can't find jobs after two years? Where's OUR stupid bracelet? Gimme a break already.

Anyone who is able to help someone, should.
Skin color doesnt matter, those people are hurting.
After watching the video of the water hitting a city in Japan, I would love to help in any way I can.
Thank you Ga Ga, fast thinking on her part, and very nice of her to try to help.
Its a shame that some people dont want to help anyone but their selves. So much that the ides of helping the people over seas, seems to offend.

Dont remember the Japs helping in any way with Katrina, or anything else where we are concerned. How thin will the U.S. spread itself, to "win" friends?

Let me say this, as a retired military who was stationed in Japan, married to a Japanese since the 1970's, nothing wrong for folks who want to help, and that is all.

Prayer: How to do nothing...and still think you're helping!

I don't know but that picture sure looks like a guy in drag!

so someone that doesn't believe in God, runs around half naked, destroying other people's eyes with her bad taste and looks is SELLING a prayer bracelet for Japan. We need help right here in the US, what about all the people starving, or is she too busy wearing condoms for a dress to notice. Go back in your Egg, Lady Gag me
