Katy Perry In No Magazine #4

Katy Perry is featured in No Magazine #4. All photographs were taken by Lionel Deluy.
Inside the magazine Katy talks about her songs and her album One of the Boys and she discuss some aspects from her life.

You know, I came from a very kinda pseudo strict household. Both my parents are still to this day travelling ministers, and I wasn’t allowed to listen to a whole lot of music growing up. I wasn’t really involved in a lot of pop culture… you know, like a lot of people have a lot of pop culture references from the ‘90s, but I’m completely clueless. [..] I left home when I was 17 years old, moved to Los Angeles and just like started changing and growing.

American Idol 8: The Final Cuts….Sorta.

“American Idol” Taps Tatiana, Anoop for Wild Card as Rounds, MacIntyre, Nunez Advance

Posted by Kim on March 5th, 2009 filed in American Idol The show kicked off with yet another group rendition of a current billboard hit….Hot & Cold by Katy Perry. You know, I was really betting on “Womanizer”, “Just Dance” or “I Kissed A Girl”. None of those could’ve possibly been worse than what we got. Honestly, it was excruciatingly bad. All of the guys mug really weird faces and they were dancing on a couch. But but but I really wanted to see Scott swing on his cane again!

I guess Ryan got the memo saying that we’re tired of him dragging everything out, because right off the bat they called Lil Rounds to center stage and told her she was in. And she was wearing a really awful outfit. I totally expected them to pit the pimped one up against someon else right at the very end but I guess they flipped the script tonight. Good call.

Did anyone REALLY think the other folks in that row had a shot against Scott? Come on now, even they knew they were out.

And then it’s time for the back row. Nathan and Kristin…yeah, they knew they were out, you could see it on Nate’s face. Felicia and Von, out. It came down to Ju’not and Jorge. Was this one a surprise to anyone? Not me. Jorge’s in. Loves it! I think he’s great, and I’ve liked him from the beginning. Out of my five favorites I’m really shocked that Jorge and Kris made it in before Matt and Anoop. Who would’ve thought it.
Wild Card Announcements!
The judges brought back a bunch of contestants and they, along with the rejected contestants from tonight, sat up in the red room as the judges read off their choices one by one.
Randy - Von
Out of all the contestants last night, they picked him? Total filler. Hopefully
Kara - Jasmine
Yeah, I think she deserves another shot. Not that I think she’ll make it though.
Paula - Ricky
Duh.
Simon - Megan
*rolls eyes* Like I said, he’d pick a girl who looks better than she sounds.
Randy - Tatiana
Oh gosh, what was she wearing??? Ugliest dress either!
Kara - Matt
GOOD. Not that I doubted he’d get another chance. You better KILL it tomorrow night, Matty. This season needs you!
Paula - Jesse
I’m REALLY surprised they picked. She totally deserves the spot but I got he feeling the judges didn’t like her at all. They noted that she was a last minute change.
Simon - Anoop
Obvious.
The judges screwed up here by not picking Mishavonna and Felicia. Those two girls performed better than all the girls they picked (save maybe Tatiana) so they deserved a spot. I mean, Mishavonna wouldn’t have made top 12 anyways so I guess it’s not a huge deal but the fact that they didn’t even consider her is total bull. Felicia is totally top 12 material, but they pick the similar but less talented Megan? It never hurts to be a pretty blonde girl!
Now, we need to take a look at this gender split. Last week I said two girls would make it through….I was really, really wrong. Jorge is one of my favorites but he kinda threw a wrench in things here! There are two guys who obviously, should be in the top 12, but will the judges actually put EIGHT guys in the top 12 with only FOUR girls? Please do, I’d be in heaven.
So tomorrow night, I think it’s going to be Megan for sure, Matt OR Anoop and Jasmine OR Tatiana. That is if they want more of a balanced gender mix. I’m going to be totally bummed if either Matt or Anoop have to leave though; between the two of them I’d pick Matt though.

Kelly Clarkson Praises Katy Perry, Wants to Work with Adele

American Idol season 1 winner, Kelly Clarkson, told British newspaper, the Daily Star that she’d love to work with Annie Lennox and breakout artist Adele.

The singer says, "I hope to do something with Adele. I love her voice so much, she’s just so incredible.”
"One of my new songs is like an Eurythmics meets Killers dance thing called If I Can’t Have You. I adore Annie Lennox, she’s such a strong woman. It’s no secret that I’m pretty much obsessive about her.”
Kelly wasn’t done dishing out the praise. She also had some kind words for “I Kissed a Girl” singer, Katy Perry.
Referring to the 24-year-old singer she says, "Katy Perry’s awesome and cute too."
I’m loving Adele right now too and I can’t imagine what a duet with Kelly would sound like. That being said, I’m just not feeling Katy Perry as much.

KATY PERRY - PERRY REFUSES TO RUSH FASHION LINE

Pop star KATY PERRY has refused to rush work on her new clothing line - insisting it will take years for her to complete her plans.

The I Kissed A Girl hitmaker has signed a deal to design her own fashion collection, based on her quirky sense of style.

But Perry wants to make sure the range is top quality and has set aside a lot of time to focus on the project.

She says, "It's been an ambition for some time and things are starting to shape up for me right now.

"It would take two years to do it right. I don't want to do something rushed and sloppy. I look at something like Gwen Stefani's line, L.A.M.B., and that took forever to do."

FRENCH KISS FOR LADY G

LADY GaGa has been giving her pop pal Katy Perry French lessons.

#bodycopy a { font-size: 12px; } The fine pair hooked up in Marseille where GaGa, right, said: “I told Katy to say, ‘ça va Marseille?’, which means, ‘how you doing?’

“Because I guarantee they will go nuts if you say it.”

Lady G, 22, couldn’t resist asking KP, 24, for a smacker too. “It was so I could say, ‘I kissed a girl’.”

Katy Perry - 'Thinking Of You'

Well, it had to happen sooner or later, I suppose - Katy Perry getting all deep and serious on us. It's not a good idea, of course, because the point of Katy Perry - as much as she has a point beyond that of endlessly working my last nerve - is to be as obviously provocative as possible with tales of ladykissing, homophobia and classy references to menstruation in her lyrics in a way that will delight some people and repulse others. It may not be the most inventive formula in the world, but for a while it was working.

It was certainly working well enough for the Brits to award her the gong for Best International Female, despite her entire output thus far being the musical equivalent of a toddler pulling her skirt over her head and running around the playground screaming "look at meeeeee!" And I suppose she has at least made an effort to keep up the charade in this attempt at a more tender song, because it's about being in love with someone who's not the person you're currently seeing. Ooh! Controversial! She kissed a boy who was not her boyfriend, and she liked it!
(Here's the video.)
The problem is that trying to do a song that required singing, as opposed to sassing, was never going to work, because Katy Perry is a dreadful singer. I mean, just listen to this song. In an attempt to recreate the breathy tone that a decent singer might use, she ends up huffing and puffing away like a 20-a-day smoker on the last leg of a cross country run. In order to emote, she's created an unsettling staccato effect, not unlike that of Tina Barrett's line deliveries on LA 7, where pausing after every second word seemed to be an acceptable substitute for actually understanding what you were saying.
It gets worse, too: come the chorus and Katy's pronunciation of "I" ("eeeeuuurrrggghhheeyyye") makes Britney Spears' pronunciation of "me" sound positively unremarkable. It's the kind of vocal affectation you see a lot in the early rounds of something like The X Factor or American Idol when someone's trying to disguise their limitations with a bunch of cheap tricks, not quite understanding that just because Beyoncé uses melisma and is a good singer, it doesn't mean that using melisma is the same as singing well.
And before I get branded a hater or anything like that, I'll point out that I thought 'Hot 'n' Cold' was, by and large, pretty fun, despite some utterly terrible lyrics in the first verse. But it's time for the joke to stop now, because it's wearing very thin and the idea that we should take Katy seriously as an artist is ludicrous.
Let's be honest, if someone sang like this to your face, as a midnight serenade, say, you'd scream in horror and run as far away as your legs could take you. And you'd be entirely right to do so.

KITTY PURRYS BLOG - updated...

19 Feb 09

somebody open a freaking window. It smells like death in here. Oh my gawd. I’m am SO happy… I’ve won a BRIT. That’s like being knighted practically! Maybe even better. Thank you. Didn’t espect THAT! I just thought I’d show up in my ridiculous hello kitty top and get worse dressed and leave I can’t tell you how bad I feel right now. Last night I was sweatin it out (ew t.m.i.) but yeah, lets just say this kitty does not look so pretty right now. Let’s see… we have the vick’s vapo rub (always a must) and thera flu… a zpack… cold wash clothes on standby and tons of water. I have the doctor on speed dial if the fever gets over 101/102. I thought I was invincible and then my body decides to show me other wise. I’m stuck in bed for the next couple of days as I should be. Im upset because Top Shop is right around the corner and I can’t move outta my sweat bed. Fucking flu. I guess we are all human. I can’t wait to come back to the brits next year… and not puke. For the moments I was there it was one of the coolest things I’ve ever been to. I saw Katie from the ting tings back stage and lil’ boots! I wanted to embrace them all but I said back off… you don’t want the chills! ha. Anyway I’m gonna go back to sweatsville and try and sleep it off some more… I gotta get better, I’m starting tour on Sunday here… so say a little prayer if you think of it. I should prolly open a window too… I love you London. You’ve been so good to me.
p.s. if you wanna buy this amazingness… it’s for a great cause!

in my dreams.



23 Feb 09

Hey that was fun. My biggest show on this tour so far… 3000 people coming to my very own sing a long. Tonight I was in Denmark… feeling a bit better…not a “she’s back moment” but better than sweat bed. I’m a real lucky girl right now. Not to brag, but why the fuck not. EVERY tour date has been sold out so far on the Hello Katy Tour! That was one of my goals for this year… to have a sold out tour… so we’ll see. I think we’re close to a check-off. Excited to go back to the UK… see you in a couple.

if you’re afraid of the dark like me… get one of these. It’s only 24 dollars! Real cats are more. Also it’s a good replacement since Kitty Purr doesn’t have her passport yet. I love this website! : fredflare.com | kitty kat light

Oh man. For some reason, deep inside me, this video made me so happy. I was grinning from ear to ear. I think because first of all, she’s so cute. Grandma’s are the cutest. They can do no wrong. Mine in particular is uber cute and still full of quick jabs and sassy answers… like her granddaughter. I don’t wonder where I get it from anymore My gma is 86 and was even with me in Vegas at the show a couple weeks back singing along. Go go go! Anyway. This video makes me think when you get old life is a bit more… simple. Making dinner… making a bite for the neighbors kids… flippin through basic cable, chillin. Making a meal outta three ingredients. Ha. maybe not the most nutritional one, but heck, she’s 91 and sounds with it… pretty much besides the mention of leaving high school cause too poor for socks, twice. That could’ve just been a bad edit. Anyway, I found this very very entertaining… it also reminded me of when I lived in a studio apt in Santa Monica and was really really poor… I would get reaaaal crafty with some of the things I had left in my closet size kitchen… it was like a really fun game of survival at 20. I am very thankful of everything I have now… so thankful. But I’m sure if I get lucky enough to get old though, it’ll all come full circle to be about the simplest thing of… what’s for dinner? Amazing.

“Big smile, not that constipated smile!”
WOW. I want my childhood back and I want to COMPETE! I feel like Markus and I were raped from our childhood callings. He wasn’t given those big italian curls for NOT bouncing and skipping down a catwalk and I wasn’t given these big alien eyes for NOT batting at an array of pill popped judges. GIVE IT BACK. I have been in Europe for almost three weeks… and have obviously missed the best thing that has ever hit television. To tell you the truth… my mom entered me in one or two of these things. The first one was just at your local grocery store… i got 2nd place. It wasn’t a hard race… just between a couple of other girls in the grocery store and then I faintly remember doing a REAL pageant when we lived in Lake Havasu, AZ and I competed… and got 2nd place. 2ND PLACE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. DOWN TO THE BASEMENT WITH YOU. I bet it was cause mom cut corners… took her own pictures, over swarovski a jacket or something. Actually, you could probably not ever OVER swarovski ANYTHING in a Little Miss Perfect pagent! That is why I NEED TO COMPETE NOW. Even though I am 24, I still wear those same outfits… and still have my hair and makeup done like that… I am THEM. Plus I know exactly what I’d say if ANY question was picked outta a fish bowl… I mean I’ve done probably 5,000 interviews by now, I am READY for any curve ball! Okay, maybe there’s an age restriction. That’s fine, I’ll just become a pagent mom. I’m sure there’s room for two pagent bitches. Soft curls, fake lashes, crystals and big smile, welcome to your Little Miss Perfect addiction!!! (just bought my itunes season pass)
