Last time we saw Katy Perry in London we witnessed one man texting "My God man, in the flesh I can’t stop staring at her rack" while his girlfriend was at the bar, and a pair of middle aged 'theatre goers' almost causing a fight shouting "It’s not Top of the Pops love. It’s a f*cking Katy Perry gig". We can only hope her sold out show at Koko tonight is full of similarly hilarious stuff. From what we've seen of her on TV in recent months she's certainly got enough outfits, props and phallic objects knocking about to create a bit of party. So in a last minute mad dash attempt we've suddenly been given a wad of tickets for you to see her tonight.
Email londonist@gmail.com with KATY PERRY in the subject with your name, phone number and if you object to us giving Katy's 'people' your email, and we'll get back to you at 5pm if you're a winner.
No, Katy Perry hasn't gone off and joined the cabaret... This is actually her in concert in Manchester last night.
First Hello Kitty at the Brits, now Smiley acid faces for her gig... While the singer has always been kitsch, she seems to have ditched her kooky '50s vibe for outright wacky...
Then again, she is suffering from flu at the moment, so perhaps her slipping wardrobe is just a side effect...
Who’s in charge of Katy Perry? I know she didn’t get to where she is alone, there’s got to be a team of overweight bald dudes writing her songs and pulling the strings somewhere behind the scenes, there always is. So why the hell did they let her leave her cage dressed like this? She’s supposed to be one of today’s hottest young artists so why is she dressed like the title character from the local hospital’s retard ward’s production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs? I don’t know what’s going on anymore.
Katy Perry attacked by giant smiley faces, Fashion Police investigating
Poor Katy Perry. Out signing autographs, bothering no one and looking perfectly sweet in her little polka dot skirt/dress, when suddenly..POP! Two giant yellow smiley faces appear out of nowhere and attach themselves to her shoulders.
"It was horrific," an eye witness told The Fashion Police. "Katy had no chance: she just didn't see it coming. It was tragic to see such a pretty young woman attacked in such a senseless way."
Katy is currently recovering from her ordeal at a Fashion Police Safe House. Meanwhile, we're putting out ab APB on the yellow smiley faces, which we believe to be armed and dangerous: do not approach them, people - just call The Fashion Police!
Katy Perry did her duty as a Big Star and met a bunch of fans outside of the Manchester Academy after a gig at the venue. It looks like this "Hot n Cold" singer was going the extra mile for her admirers waiting out in the cold, because she was bedecked with cheerful yellow smiley faces and managed to look completely thrilled with the attention.
Katy Perry in boyfriend Valentine’s rant at Koko gig - video
Katy Perry launched into a bitter rant against an ex-boyfriend last night during a London gig.
While on stage at Koko in Camden, the American I Kissed A Girl singer began talking to the audience about Pinocchio and seemed to compare an ex-boyfriend to the kids’ story-book character.
Katy told the screaming audience: “I didn’t know when I was a six-year-old kid watching Pinocchio that when I turned into an adult, I’d end up dating a Pinocchio.
“It’s true,” she continued. “He doesn’t have a heart, he has a long nose, but he has a lot of wood. I didn’t know what to do with all that excess wood. I could have made a fire out of it.”
Whoever the mystery ex is, he’s presumably grateful his “wood” didn’t go up in smoke, but 24-year-old Katy is clearly very unhappy with his slack behaviour.
“Sometimes you date somebody and they just don’t f***ing reciprocate,” she said before revealing her disappointment at his Valentine’s gift.

“Valentine’s day came and went, thank god. I’m sure there were a lot of girls like myself, who did some extraordinary thing and got an e-card back.
“It’s not acceptable. You just can’t send us an e-card for Valentine’s day. Obviously he didn’t have enough heart.”
She then went on to introduce the next, rather aptly named song, Mannequin.
Katy was dating Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes but they split up on New Year’s Eve after a year together. She has previously denied slating him at another concert and claimed they are still friends.
She was spotted out on Valentine’s night with Benji Madden – Paris Hilton’s ex – but denied on her blog that they are dating.
“Benji is a nice young fellow,” she wrote. “But my heart belongs to Kitty Purry [her cat].”
Katy Perry looked fit to meet the queen when we photographed her in an ornate coat complete with heels and set curly hair.
Always cool with her public, Katy stopped right in the middle of the revolving doors to give us a wave as she left her London hotel. From acid wash jeans in the airport to a smiley post-concert look, Katy's a real chameleon.
Now let's get her back to the States so she can be one here again!
Last night, Katy performed to a sold-out crowd at Koko, and The Times called it "bold, brash and impossible to forget." We have to admit that they also called it "not a dignified performance," so we're admittedly quite curious how Katy thinks it turned out.
Katy Perry ‘Thinking Of You’ Video Behind The Scenes
Katy Perry posted behind the scenes footage of her 40’s inspired video for ‘Thinking of You’ on her MySpace TV page. Perry and her sidekick Markus Molinari offered some commentary on her bedroom love scene, followed by the picnic and tubing scene during their summer of love. “I’m really excited for this music video,” Perry says at the end of the clip. “I’ve always had a vision for this song. Some songs I don’t really see it in motion, but sometimes I see a song so strongly that for this one in particular there’s a chemistry, there’s a pain and regret.” Watch the video below.
