Lady Gaga has announced her plans to donate $1 million to the American Red Cross to help victims of Hurricane Sandy.

It’s no surprise that the reigning ‘Queen of Pop’ has whipped out her checkbook for this cause, the native New Yorker is notorious for her insatiable love for The Big Apple!

If it wasn’t for NYC: the Lower East Side, Harlem, the Bronx and Brooklyn, I would not be the woman or artist that I am today… New York is relentless ambition, a drive to succeed, a place where there is a natural pursuit of diversity through compassion.

Please accept this gift on behalf of myself, my parents Joe and Cynthia, my sister Natali; with our deepest gratitude New York for raising us. Thank you for helping me build my spirit. I will now help you rebuild yours.

Well said Mother Monster!

Lady Gaga wasn’t the only A-lister offering their support for the millions of people who lost everything from electricity to – well, everything.  Jersey Shore star Snooki donated ‘Snooki Slippers’ and clothes (a shameless plug maybe, but it was a donation nonetheless!), Ben Stiller donated his time cooking pancakes, bacon and eggs at a Brooklyn homeless shelter and native Bostonian and sworn enemy to all things NYC (Just kidding!) Barbara Walters donated $250,000 to the Red Cross.

Great to see these celebs giving back in the wake of such devastation!
