Lady Gaga Explains Her “We Are The World” No-Show

Lady GagaLady Gaga appears to be scaling down her to-do list after a bout of exhaustion caused her to cancel a handful of live dates last month. Despite reports that she’d be involved, the Grammy winner surprisingly never showed up for the all-star recording of “We Are The World,” which is being released to raise money for Haiti earthquake relief efforts.

“I’ve actually been in rehearsal for my new tour, but I was never supposed to do ‘We Are The World.’ So that’s a rumor,” Gaga told Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush. So why, exactly, did she sit the recording out?

“I believe that they may have asked, yes, about it, but I was unable to do it,” the singer explained. “And I’ve been working on my own charity projects for Haiti. We’ve raised over half a million dollars for Haiti already and we like to work specifically with charities that are based in Haiti itself.”

Last month on the Oprah Winfrey Show, Lady Gaga first revealed that she’d be donating all proceeds from ticket and merchandise sales from her January 24 New York City concert to Haiti relief.

“I donated all of the proceeds from one show worth of ticket sales as well as all the of the merchandise from that show and for 24 hours we had a ‘Gaga for Haiti’ day where everything that was bought on the Web site… every dollar went to Haiti,” she said. “We’re continuing to work on more projects and we’re supposed to go to Haiti later this year for a show, which is very exciting.”

Well, looks like “We Are The World” will be nearly all-inclusive (see the full roster of artists who took part here)—save for all but one of Earth’s quirkiest inhabitants.

    Shut Up !! You don't know her!! She is truly a talented genius and her style is all her own.

    Do you think Elton John comes out to the Grammy's to play with just anybody??

    I don't think so!!

  6. Yes, he does. Remember Eminem? Ugh. And he's more attractive and less manly than that chick.

    well maybe you ignorants should stop critzig her, she had the tour, she's busy!
    But if she had time she would of done a terrific job

  8. I love her, but why is she on the most influential list?

  9. oh my god much of the comments the majority make usually are such stoner comments, now and again i question whether they actually read the content pieces and reports before posting or if perhaps they generally skim the titles and submit first thing comes up. anyway, it’s pleasant to read through wise commentary here and there compared to the exact same, dated post vomit which i generally see on the internet

  10. Hi I found this site by mistake I was searching Google when I came upon your site, I must say your site is really cool I just love the theme, its amazing!. I don’t have the time at the moment to fully read your site but I signed up for your RSS feeds. I will be back for sure!

  11. What is captcha code?,:[ pls provide me captcha code codes or plugin, Thanks in advance.

  12. Llegué a tu blog de casualidad. Excelente. Adios!

  13. Encontré tu blog por pura casualidad y todo el contenido me pareció genial. Me la pasé leyendo un rato largo. Agregaré la dirección a mi lector de noticias. ¿Tienes tiempo?, comenta en mi blog. Seguiré comentando!

  14. So such spam above me…

    Anyways, Gaga is awesome – she deserved to be in the Time’s most influential list. “We are the world” is a great idea.

  15. LEAVE LADY GA GA ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  16. simple as that. Well

  17. I’m in school to become an RN. It should take me 2.5 years to get my associates. My plan is to work for an Atlanta hospital that will pay for me to go back to school to get a Master’s degree and become a Nurse Practitioner. I know several hospitals that are willing to do this. Its cheaper for a hospital to pay a nurse to go back to school to become an NP than find and hire a bunch of doctors. NP dont make as much as doctors, but they also dont have the liability that a doctor has. I want to specialize in Pediatrics. An NP is pretty much a doctor, except they cant perscribe narcodics.

  18. I’m having a little problem I cant subscribe your rss feed, I’m using google reader fyi.

  19. Shes one of the heros in ourdays. Good music and a indenfical person for a large number of people. The young and old love her, her messages are clear and easy and of coure this lady is something for the eyes.
