In an interview with Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush on Thursday, pop sensation Lady Gaga set the record straight about recent rumors that she was supposed to participate in the star-studded re-recording of “We Are The World” for Haitian Relief — only to pull out at the last moment.
The “Bad Romance” crooner explained that while she was asked to lend her famed vocals to the 25th anniversary of the charity effort, she politely declined.
“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 Billy. “I believe that they may have asked, yes, about it, but I was unable to do it.”
Gaga says she’s already been more than involved in raising money for the earthquake-ravaged nation. She’s donated all the proceeds from one of the shows on her sold-out tour, and has been busy selling t-shirts for the effort via her Web site.
“…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,” she said.
“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,” the star added. “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.”
