Beth Ditto is still on her tirade against Katy Perry, responding to Katy’s recent opinion that she is not impressed with The Gossip lead singer. The feeling seems to be mutual as Beth explains to Spinner that she still feels Katy’s success with ‘I Kissed a Girl’ is offensive to gay people. Beth said “I don’t care if she writes a song about kissing a girl, but there are people who kiss girls in their everyday life, and it’s not as easy as just kissing a girl and everyone loving you. It’d be really rad to hear her talk about something like that.” At the heart of it though, Beth is trying to shed light on the hypocrisy of the industry by putting Katy and her song on some sort of pedestal but still alienating gay and lesbians any other time.

Lady Gaga has just made history as her first single, ‘Just Dance’ has become only the fifth song ever to reach the 4 million mark in paid downloads! Her follow up to that single, ‘Poker Face’ is gearing up towards that direction too as it recently hit the 3 million mark last week. Only two other female solo artists have had two songs top the 3 million mark and those two are Rihanna and Katy Perry. Lady Gaga’s album ‘The Fame’ is also on the top 10 of The Billboard 200 for the 14th week last week. It’s been a huge week for her. Congratulations!
The singer has recently compared herself to a ninja due to her uncanny ability to remain undetected in crowds. Katy Perry said: “I am like a ninja when it comes to disguise. I am really good at putting on a hat and sunglasses and leaving my sparkly outfits at home and putting on some sweats or something.” I’m sure this does work really well for Katy Perry considering that there are so many people who expect to see her on the streets dressing exactly the way she does on stage. Hell, they probably even expect her to have the inflatable pussy around with her. So, yeah, Katy Perry is a ninja… at least given today’s standards.
Katy Perry talks about her love life, sort of, in the new issue of UK Cosmo. The singer said “I don’t like being single. I live a fantastic life, full of magical things, and at the end of the day all I want to do is share it with someone. I’ll probably end up with someone who’s a bit older and a few steps ahead of me — I want someone I can learn from. It’s always been difficult [to find a boyfriend] because I’m so picky. And if I go to dinner with a guy, people automatically think we’re dating. And then when you do start dating it becomes a race to the altar.”
A lot of sources close to both Katy Perry and Josh Groban are coming out saying that the singers are actually dating. A source familiar with the relationship says “They’ve been trying to keep it very low profile.” Sneaky! Several sources have also said that the relationship has been going on for a few months now. I guess Katy didn’t want another very public relationship much like her last one. And it doesn’t seem like Josh to be showy either. I’m left wondering how these two met though and what exactly brought them together. They seem so different from each other.
Katy Perry attended the 14th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards last week. I’m not sure why she was there but the singer was looking really glamorous that night. She looked like she got schooled by Dita Von Teese with her choice of frocks. I love it! And oh yeah, don’t forget that you can still enter the competition for the chance to perform on stage with Katy at this year’s Grammy Awards. I hope she keeps this new style of hers, at least until the Grammys. If she keeps this up, she will be someone to look for on the list of best dressed.
Since Lily Allen is allegedly sober, I guess we can categorize her latest rant as insecurity issues. On Monday, the outspoken British singer lashed out at American singing sensation Katy Perry during a radio interview. Lily spoke about Katy saying “I happen to know for a fact that she was an American version of me. She was signed by my label in America as, ‘We need to find something controversial and kooky like Lily Allen.’ And then they found her… I think the lyrics and stuff are a bit crass… When I met her I was bit frosty with her because someone asked her to describe herself. She’s like, ‘Aha, I’m like a fatter version of Amy Winehouse and a skinner version of Lily Allen!’. It’s like, you’re not English and you don’t write your own songs, shut up!” Newsflash Lily, Katy does write her own songs.
Charity is always for a good cause but what can you donate for charity to beat others?
If you are willing to give away your car, house, boat, or some extra cash for charity, then you may get a place close to God but you can not get closer than the stunning singer Katy Perry .
The raunchy singer Katy Perry has lately donated her breasts to raise money for a breast cancer charity.
Well! She will not be left without a pair of jugs as she has donated a sculpture of her breasts and not the real thing.
Bidding for the sculpture will open on November 26, 2008.
Can someone please tell me when Eva Mendes will give away her breasts? I am keeping my wallet close and waiting!!!
Katy Perry is featured on the November 2008 cover of Blender. The ‘I Kissed a Girl’ singer talked about growing up with God, her battle with alcohol, dating a thug and the girls of ‘The Hills’. You really get a great perspective of her by the way she talks of her relationship with Gym Class Heroes front man Travis McCoy where she said “He’s thug-nificent. I can’t believe I got a thug to commit!… We weren’t really together, it was casual. But soulless hooking up didn’t seem so hot to me. I always wanted to have a romance. I said “Excuse me, I’ve been coming to a number of your shows in the greater Los Angeles area for quite some time now.
Rihanna is looking hot as she waved to photographers while out shopping in West Hollywood with her family. Rumored boyfriend Chris Brown wasn’t around though. Rihanna is currently spending her second week at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart with her hit song ‘Disturbia’. Someone finally knocked off Katy Perry! David Archuleta’s ‘Crush’ made the best chart debut in over 18 months by reaching number 2 and sold 166,000 downloads in the US. It looks like Rihanna has some stiff competition. I wonder when David Cook will be releasing more of his stuff. One David is not enough for me.
Miley Cyrus may not be the best choice for anything right now but the 15-year old Hannah Montana star actually picked up her first VMA nomination for Best New Artist for ‘7 Things’. She’s up against her rumored rival, Katy Perry, with this summer’s massive hit ‘I Kissed a Girl’. Other nominees include American Idol champ Jordin Sparks with ‘No Air’, Taylor Swift with ‘Teardrops on My Guitar’ and Tokio Hotel with ‘Ready, Set, Go!’. To see who wins, watch the VMAs. The VMAs will air live from Paramount Studios in Los Angeles and one-time only in its original format on Sunday, September 7, 2008 at 9PM Live ET/Tape Delayed PT.
Katy Perry joked in a recent interview that she was hoping to do her own version of the infamous Madonna lesbian kiss with none other than Miley Cyrus. While the rest of us just laughed at her humor, Miley just doesn’t get it. The skanky teen told E! “No thanks. She sang on my record. So I think she’s kind of getting back at me, because she was doing harmonies and backgrounds.” Too bad for her, Katy’s retort just made her look stupid. Katy said “6 weeks in a row at number one. And she recorded two of my old songs.”
Katy Perry rules the charts for the third week in a row as the singer’s monster hit is the #1 song in America by topping the Billboard Hot 100. It’s shaping up to be the song of the summer. Other notable chart movement for this week include Rihanna’s ‘Take a Bow’ moving from #4 to #2, Lil Wayne’s ‘Lollipop’ going from #2 to #3, and Miley Cyrus’ ‘7Things’ moving from #16 to #10, mostly due to digital downloads as the song isn’t getting much love on the radio. It looks like this summer is all good for the ladies. Katy better watch out as Rihanna looks like she’s hot on her heels.
Lily Allen recently blogged about the piece of news that she was jealous of Katy Perry, the singer who has since replaced Lily as Capitol Records’ golden girl. Sad to say, Lily was caught in a bunch of lies which were easily debunked. She said “And this is not meant in any way [to be mean] but I’d never heard of Katy Perry before I came here [to L.A.] a few days ago, I didn’t even know she was on Capitol.” Sources close to both singers says that they definitely know each other and have even met. Case in point, the picture for this rant of mine. Liar, liar pants on fire.
When it comes to the music industry, it’s hard to stay on top – you can just ask Lily Allen how that feels. Lily used to be Capitol Records’ golden girl but since she’s been slipping lately, she’s been replaced by Katy Perry. According to a music industry insider “Lily Allen is peeved at Capitol. She feels like they’ve shoved her aside to focus all their energies on their new girl of the moment, Katy Perry.” According to the source, the real insult came when the label “replaced a photo of Lily Allen with one of Katy Perry” in its office main lobby. The only thing that can save Lily from becoming washed-up goods is if she can come up with a great sophomore album. But from what I’m hearing, her new material sucks.
