Gaga Has Bullying Message in Thanksgiving Special
Lady Gaga has taken her anti-bullying message to the I Heart Radio concert, where she performed a tribute to suicide victim Jamey Rodemeyer, then she went to a fundraiser with President Obama to raise the issue in person. And in her national Thanksgiving special broadcast on ABC nationally on Thursday, she didn't shy away from using the big platform to raise the issue with American families.

Gaga talked about being bullied in school herself, then performed a moving version of her anthem for self-expression, "Hair," in support of kids facing tough times in school.

"This one is for all the kids who are bullied in school who are afraid of being themselves," said Gaga, performing from her (highly decorated) school cafeteria. "And I hope that every day at school you remember that there is somebody that's fighting for you."

4. I hear ya. I enjoy some of it, but mostly I'm enamored of HER
What a performer she is. She really does have a magnificent voice, though. Her duet with Tony Bennett (The Lady Is a Tramp) made me even almost like him (I've always hated him).

And mostly, what an incredible Light she is. And so young -- there are so many years ahead in which she can do tremendous good.

5. She lost me big time when she wore that disgusting
meat dress. That was so incredibly tacky! Leads me to think she does this stuff, just like the meat dress, for only attention. Not exactly a compassionate individual- really.
