Katy Perry Admits She Can’t See Her Own Feet

Katy Perry covers Rolling Stone, for a second time, for the double Summer issue. This time, she’s under the harsh glare of Uncle Terry’s molester lens. I don’t know what’s going on with that bra. I think it’s supposed to be a Hershey’s Kisses bra. Which would mean we’re supposed to kiss her dirty pillows. You first. No, I insist. Recent photos showed Perry posing on a rooftop with her chest hanging out of 80s neon pink garb; it was for this photo shoot. It’s an odd mix of neons, metallics, and swimwear. In her interview, below, Perry starts to talk about deeper things such as her religious background, her political and worldviews, and the vapidity of fame. Then she gives up and tells an anecdote about praying for and growing boobs and then strapping those things down until she was 19.

Katy Perry Extended Last Friday Night Video

Katy Perry has released an extended eight-minute version of her Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F) music video for those fans who can’t survive on four minutes of her breasts wrapped in neon 80s garb. After days of teasers mentioning that Rebecca Black, whose video has reached over 160,000,000 views on YouTube, would be in the video, we got the shorter and the extended releases of the same video. The Funny Or Die/ VEVO extended video is below and features even more cameos than the leaked, shorter, video from the weekend. As well as Black, Hanson, Kenny G, and Glee’s Kevin McHale, this version also includes Corey Feldman and Debbie Gibson, as Perry’s parents who return early, and Darren Criss of Glee. It’s amusing, if off-putting that Perry’s supposed to be 13-years-old and stacked with the help of cutlets. More to the point, Black’s a stand-out star, as are the cameos, leaving Perry the least-interesting part of her own video.

YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO LOOK AT KATY PERRY

A 45-page-long rider of demands for the U.S. leg of Katy Perry’s 2011 world tour has been released. And in it, a certain member of her team is contractually-forbidden from looking at her. First things first, because no one likes wire hangers, this is possibly the longest rider I’ve seen. Some riders are long and the obnoxious riders are this long. But singers often have some little three-page non-event asking for Evian and green M&Ms. Not Perry. Because it would be like putting a vase of acid in her room, the rider asks that there be ‘ABSOLUTELY NO CARNATIONS,’ with that part in caps and underlined on a page of otherwise non-crazy demands. In the same document, there are specific demands on her driver who must never touch her luggage, must never ask for autographs nor talk to Perry/ her entourage/ nor her fans, nor open the car doors because, ‘The driver is not security, the driver does not open doors.’ Moreover, they must not look at Perry. The document ends with a comical homophone error,’DO NOT STAIR [SIC] AT THE BACKSEAT THRU [SIC] THE REARVIEUW [SIC] MIRROW [SIC].’

Katy Perry In FHM Australia’s 100 Sexiest Issue

Katy Perry covers FHM Australia’s ’100 Sexiest Women In The World’ issue for June 2011. Perry received 5,000 votes in the poll, placing first and scoring the cover. Jennifer Hawkins and Miranda Kerr placed second and third, respectively.

I pretty much only had one observation about this cover… aside from the Zooey Deschanel vibes… that Perry’s sidetidday had been Photoshopped away. The singer doesn’t even appear to be wearing a bra. She’s hiding her d-cup dirty pillows with her arms but there should be spillage, right? She actually looks flat.

Katy Perry Probably Ripped Off Dita Von Teese

Katy Perry held straight the paper as Vanity Fair’s creative team traced around Dita Von Tesse. On the left is Katy Perry’s June 2011 Vanity Fair cover, photographed by Annie Leibovitz and styled by the magazine’s fashion and style director Jessica Diehl. On the right is Von Tesse’s strikingly-similar hair/ make-up/ outfit from a 2008 Wonderbra photo shoot. Even the poses are very similar. Someone needs to teach Leibovitz and Diehl to colour outside the lines a little, so that it’s less obvious from where they’re boosting their source material. This isn’t the first time a Perry cover has been accused of ripping off an older look. Her December 2010 Harper’s Bazaar cover was taken from a 1950s Vogue.

Katy Perry Nude Underwear Covers Vanity Fair

Katy Perry’s barely-covered chest covers the trashiest issue of Vanity Fair to date. Ignoring the Annie Leibovitz composition, this cover is better suited to Maxim or some other men’s magazine. It’s hardly befitting a women’s magazine. I get that they’re selling Perry’s sexuality. And it helps if you can see her boobs while she’s making the sale. But, the nude colour underwear being her only garment on the cover is what pushes it over the edge, in my opinion. I guess it’s going to sell. Although it’s lacking a little in the eye-contact area too. Perry pulls the same Lady Gaga hands-on-waist clinch that’s better suited to Uncle Terry’s molester lens and not a Leibovitz shoot. At least she’s not wearing one of those polyester wigs or rubber. So, you know… mercy. The cover does give a very good idea of her interview. Perry has a pretty limited repertoire and she’s back to talking about her religious background and discovering her sexuality. So, pretty much the same things she spoke about in her 2010 Rolling Stone interview.
