Lady Gaga is being sued for $5 million, with the lawsuit alleging that she deliberately raised the cost of shipping and handling for her We Pray For Japan bracelets so that she could earn a profit. Did she scam her own charity? The dude suing is with Michigan-based 1-800-LAW-FIRM, which is, uh, interesting, and it seems that he is not a Gaga fan. Quoth he: “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.” [Radar, Showbiz Spy]

Beyoncé — the first woman ever to headline the Glasonbury music festival — tells the BBC: “I’m completely high. It’s so surreal, weird – just happy, and I wasn’t kidding when I said this night is a dream. I felt like a rock star, and the crowd – they looked like rock stars, and I’m just so honored, really. This was just, like, a highlight of my career.” [Contact Music]
Beyoncé also says: “When women don’t have friends, I’m afraid of them. I grew up around women, I believe that we can teach each other so much. I’m always thinking about how unselfish we are and the things we need to hear and how much pressure there is being a woman. I try to write songs that will bring out the best in all of us and keep us close together. Put a ring on it? That’s a nice little way to hint something without being the psycho that’s like Marry Me. Sometimes we gain, five, 10 pounds, sometimes more. Whatever. Sometimes you just have to embrace it and find the beauty in it. So Bootylicious.” [Showbiz Spy]

- Cameron Diaz is really disappointed in the state of modern education: “I like to cook and I like to clean so I think I would be a pretty good home economics teacher… But they don’t teach kids that anymore.

It’s all wrong.” [Showbiz Spy]
