Lady Gaga Scams Her Own Charity?

Lady Gaga is facing a lawsuit today after she refused to reveal exactly how much of the proceeds of those five-dollar bracelets she created on behalf of earthquake relief efforts in Japan actually goes to her “We Pray For Japan” charity. Bored yet? Me, too. Nine MSN says:
On top of the [wristband's] sale price [of $5], she charged $3.99 for shipping and handling and $0.60 for taxes – but she’s been accused of pocketing the extra dosh and won’t reveal exactly how much of the $5 goes to the earthquake victims.
“I’m suing Lady Gaga simply to hold her accountable for giving the money that she was raising for charity to the cause that she was trying to raise it for,” said Ari Kresch, a Michigan attorney.
To be honest, I’m actually surprised she hasn’t been sued sooner. I just figured it would have been Madonna, David Bowie, Britney Spears, Grace Jones, Loli Lux, Ace of Base, SNSD, RuPaul, Marilyn Manson or Jana Sterbak suing her for copyright infringement first.
