Title: Lady Gaga Wants To Learn Sign Language
Body: From http://www.k-international.com/blog/lady-gaga-wants-to-learn-sign-language Lady Gaga has been branded as the new “Queen of Pop Music” and a music phenomenon of her generation with a string of hits: “just dance” , “bad romance”, “poker face “and more recently “Judas”.

However, underneath the surface gloss, glamour and eccentricity, there beats the heart of a true philanthropist who has contributed to various charities and humanitarian works as well as campaigning for gay rights in America and the fight against HIV. More recently, Lady Gaga has expressed a desire to learn sign language so she can communicate with her deaf fans.
