"Monsters (fans): in just 48 hrs you've raised a quarter of a million dollars for Japan Relief. It's important we help. X (sic)," Gaga posted on her Twitter page.

The singer urged her twitter followers to buy the $5 red and white accessory, which has a message "We pray for Japan" both in English and Japanese.

Japan suffered widespread devastation as a result of the 9.0 magnitude earthquake on March11. Gaga is among many stars to raise donations through the social networking website.

Singer Katy Perry tweeted: "Remember as you go about your day please 'pray for Japan & if you are able, text REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10 to Japan's emergency relief. (sic)"

Teen heartthrob Justin Bieber also sent a message to fans, writing: "Japan is one of my favourite places on earth - it's an incredible culture with amazing people. My prayers go out to them. We all need to help."

People can donate to the relief fund via The Red Cross through a variety of methods including the charity's website, Facebook and iTunes.

Lady Gaga thinks that she's a `great performer' and has `one of the greatest voices in the industry'.

Appearing on the cover of the Vogue ''s March `power issue,'' she isn''t exactly shy about her own talents.

"Speaking purely from a musical standpoint, I think I am a great performer," the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.

"I am a talented entertainer. I consider myself to have one of the greatest voices in the industry. I consider myself to be one of the greatest songwriters.

"I wouldn''t say that I am one of the greatest dancers, but I am really quite good at what I do. I think it's OK to be confident in yourself," she added.

American singer Lady Gaga recently joked to diners at the Plaza Oak Room that “she’s a hooker, but one that still has to pay taxes.

Gaga, dressed in a bizarre bondage dress, joked about her outfit on Wednesday night.

She came during an unannounced appearance at a show by her jazz musician friend, Brian Newman.

"They were all over each other, kissing,” the New York Post quoted a spy as saying.

“She then went to the mike holding a martini, saying she was on her fifth. But she wowed everybody with her powerful voice. Guests were going wild."

Did you think that Lady Gaga was the number one biggest concert draw in the US of A in 2010? Well, you may in in for a surprise then.

Apparently Lady Gaga needs to step it up because she was fourth in the popularity ranking.

So who beat out Lady Gaga? In second and third place were AC/DC and U2 as they both grossed over $150 million, states Hollyscoop.

And in first was Bon Jovi, breaking the $200 million mark.

The really shocking part isn’t just that Gaga was beat, it is that she played over 50 more gigs than Bon Jovi and 100 more than U2.

Sounds like Gaga still has a long way to go.

Lady Gaga recently popped into Midtown strip club HeadQuarters to give one of the customers a hot lap dance.

Donning only a transparent jumpsuit with a few carefully placed sequins over her nipples and private parts, the pop diva lap-danced for a man who looked a lot like on-again boyfriend Matt Williams.

According to The New York Post, a spy said they "smooched and groped to the point several people suggested they rent a Champagne Room so she could give him a private, versus public, lap dance," adding that by the end of the night, the guy was covered in Gaga's red lipstick.
