Lady Gaga clamps down on internet bullies

Lady Gaga is clamping down on internet bullying on her social networking website and is hiring a team of experts to help.

The Poker Face superstar set up her own online base, Littlemonsters.com, for her fans and the site features discussion boards and chat forums, but Gaga is worried some users may be abusing the system.

She has decided to hire a team dedicated to weeding out bullies, "sexual predators" and anyone who uses offensive language.

In a post on the website, she writes, "I'm aware of the bullying and predatory nature of some of the new accounts being made. Although this is quite common on all social networks, that will not be the case here. I'm in the process of hiring a team to focus solely on monitoring and deleting accounts associated with sexual predators and language as well as bullies and fake accounts.

"I love you and want this to be a safe place for you!! Don't worry the organisations being put into place are top notch!"
