Soundbyte: "I opened up a magazine and I saw a
picture of Scarlett Johannson. I said to [my
boyfriend at the time], 'I'm not going to lie. If
Scarlett Johansson walked into the room and
wanted to make out with me, I would make out with
her. I hope you're okay with that.'"
Ten Things About Katy Perry:
1. Born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, Katy is the middle child of two pastors.
2. Katy goes by her mother's maiden name, Perry, because she felt Katy Hudson sounded too much like...wait for it...Kate Hudson.
3. Her first CD, released in '01, was a Christian gospel album.
4. The smash hit single I Kissed a Girl has topped the charts in 20 countries.
5. The inspiration for the song? Scarlett Johannson.
6. Katy is currently dating Gym Class Heroes' vocalist Travis McCoy, who gave her a ring this summer as a "token of his commitment and affection."
7. The only girl he'd like to see Katy kissing is Elisabeth Shue. "She was my first crush from Adventures In Babysitting," he says.
8. The singer played her first gig in Britain on Wednesday night.
9. Two of Katy's songs, Ur So Gay and I Kissed a Girl, have been called homophobic and misandric by some members of the press.
10. Of Ur So Gay, Katy says it's not a negative connotation. It’s not “you’re so gay,” like “Your so lame,” but the fact of the matter is that this boy should’ve been gay. I totally understand how it could be misconstrued or whatever...I wasn’t stereotyping anyone in particular, I was talking about an ex-boyfriend."
