TOKYO (MarketWatch) -- A spokesman for Lady Gaga has denied that the pop singer misrepresented charitable donations from the sale of wristbands intended for Japan's disaster relief, and called a lawsuit "misguided" for alleging this, according to reports Tuesday. "The entire $5 donation made with the purchase of each bracelet is going to support the disaster relief. No profit is being made on shipping costs. Sales tax charges were made in accordance with local legal requirements," the spokesman was quoted as saying. A suit, which requests status as a class action, was filed last week by 1-800-Law-Firm firm partner Alyson Oliver in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, alleging the singer and her companies added excess shipping charges and retained a portion of the proceeds from each transaction instead of donating all proceeds to Japanese disaster relief
