The 7 Acceptable Reasons to Love Katy Perry

Image
You'll forgive me for not endorsing Katy Perry the same way I do Kylie Minogue , because some things have always bugged me about Ms. Perry's pop persona: I find the little-girl-dolled-up-in-sexy-candy-costuming shtick sleazy without wit, her transition from Christian pop ingenue to bicurious bopper more than a little insincere, and her comments about mixing sex and spirituality ("I am sensitive to... Lady Gaga putting a rosary in her mouth. I think when you put sex and spirituality in the same bottle and shake it up, bad things happen.") completely puritanical and lame. Say what you will about Ke$ha , but she's never been pretentious. I'm Team Tik Tok every time. That said, on the occasion of Ms. Perry's 28th birthday, I'm game to rediscover the seven reasons it's OK to call yourself a fan. Raise up your firework and follow along. 1. "California Gurls" was the definitive summer anthem of 2010. 2010 was a great year for summer radio. La...

Katy Perry cant deny Mayer chemistry

Katy Perry has "undeniable" chemistry with John Mayer, it has been revealed. The pop singer has had an on-off relationship with Hollywood lothario John since they got together earlier this year. It has been reported that the pair are currently very much 'on' after their recent public appearance in New York for John's 35th birthday bash. "Though they've had their ups and downs, Katy and John are smitten with each other," a source told British magazine Grazia . "They've got undeniable chemistry." Katy has a history of being able to tame some of the biggest celebrity players. The star managed to convert womaniser Russell Brand into a dedicated husband for 14 months while they were married. Sources have revealed Katy succeeded in pinning down John by jokingly playing him at his own game. "Katy wanted to show John that she won't stand for any of his nonsense. She even bought him a box of Godiva chocolates, just so he'd know what...

Image
WENN.com When you're crushing on one of pop's most notorious lotharios, how do you keep him on his toes? With chocolates, if you're Katy Perry. According to an insider who spoke to Grazia , the pair's on/off fling is very much on. "Though they've had their ups and downs, Katy and John are smitten with each other. They've got undeniable chemistry," the source revealed. Apparently, Katy is trying to fight fire with fire by showing John that she has the upper hand. "Katy wanted to show John that she won't stand for any of his nonsense. She even bought him a box of Godiva chocolates, just so he'd know what it was like to be romanced by a girl. John thought it was really funny," explained the insider. Given Katy likes to frolic amongst giant lollipops and shoot whipped cream from her boobs, at least in video land, it's not surprising that she thinks the path to John's heart is sugar coated. But after her marriage to notorious bad b...
