I already covered Katy Perry’s Rolling Stone cover story where she denied a role in cultural appropriation by asking, “Can’t you appreciate a culture?” That was the highlight of the interview, but Rolling Stone has released some new “outtake” quotes that didn’t make their print edition. Katy already shaded ex-hubby Russell Brand in the print interview. She disses more in these quotes. The weird thing is that Katy refuses to talk about her failed romance with John Mayer. Did Katy and John came to an agreement during their relationship? Neither one of them has spoken about the other. I guess this means John won’t be smearing Katy in his Broadway musical.
Katy’s focus in these interview outtakes is to criticize fame. In 2012, Katy told Teen Vogue that fame is “a disgusting by-product of what I do.” She repeats herself here and tosses in shade against reality stars. Maybe? I think that’s what she’s talking about. Katy often speaks in ice cream riddles that make no sense. The bottom line? Katy is all about her music:
She won’t talk about John Mayer: “I don’t want to be rude to him and or what that was, because it always comes to bite me in the ass and I don’t want to do that anymore.”
She will talk about her divorce from Rusty: “Now I know — first and foremost, self-love, and then give love away. Back then it was mostly just me giving love away with no self-love. I went through my ‘return of Saturn,’ is what they call it. It’s this kind of astrological thing they talk about, when the planet Saturn comes to teach you lessons, and either you reject them or accept them. And I accepted those lessons that I needed to learn. And if you reject them, it’s your midlife crisis that comes around at 50.”
On her super-made-up signature look: “Just someone decided to pay for hair and makeup. That’s all. I was like, ?This is cool. My eyes look even more anime now.”
On dating non-famous dudes: “I’ve done that before. It’s not that they have to be famous, although there’s a level of understanding when they’re in the same business, you know? They understand what it means when you’re tired from a show or the tour’s exhausting you or if an interview went wrong ? they know all the ins and outs, so you can just walk in to the house with a certain face and they understand, you know? Rather than, like, having to explain everything and that takes two, three hours.”
She dislikes fame: “I never wanted to be famous. That’s a byproduct of what I do. Fame is truly a byproduct of the dream that I had. People want to be recognized for their work, but nobody wants to be famous for nothing. Fame is, I think, disgusting. And it’s really hard to separate your public life from your personal life. Useless fame is disgusting. I think if you’ve got a talent or something to offer, a creative thing to offer to the world, then I think that’s beautiful. But that famous for nothing thing is kind of gross. It’s a bummer. And, you know, I only ever just wanted to make music and be on stage and play.”
She wants to be big at Madonna’s age: “Yeah, for sure. In a different way, maybe. I mean, she does what she does, great. I’m probably going to do it differently. Like, I want to have an acoustic record by then. But I can only be 29 now.”
She digs museums: “When we’re on the road, not only do we go to theme parks, we go to museums. Because the best thing now that I’ve realized is instead of trading my status for, like, bottles at clubs, I can trade my status for incredibly curated tours at museums. Like, by the people that installed the whole thing. eAnd it makes for really good Instagram pictures, too. Kids, museums have lots of artifacts in them that look funny, so go to them and get your best Instagram update.”
What if her next record flops? “I’m not gonna give any energy to those words! But listen, if it’s a true expression of myself, then it will be necessary for me to put it out there. At least I’m staying true to myself and my music.”

Katy also discussed her passion for transcendental meditation. That’s the one thing she gained from her marriage to Rusty Brand. She’s covered the same topic in several interviews, and I’m still not convinced that Katy knows what she’s talking about.
I shake my head at Katy’s claims of disliking fame so much. She’s the one who sang “I Kissed a Girl” as her breakout tune. There’s no way that move wasn’t about becoming famous really fast. I will admit that Katy fills a niche. She makes music for tweens and does it well, but girlfriend wasn’t all about the music from the very beginning. It’s also bizarre that Katy writes off non-famous guys because it would take a few hours to acclimate them. Huh.
Here’s some new photos from Katy’s Instagram page. Her tour paused in Boston, and she stopped by the Salem Witch Museum. People says that Katy took time to participate in a witchcraft ritual of “love magic.” Katy thinks the spell will bring her some non-douchey dating material.
Here are some photos of Katy at a Boston Dunkin Donuts. There’s a guy who looks like BJ Novak, but I doubt it’s him.

She can?t wait for her fans to get a sniff of her latest scent, and Katy Perry just posted an image from her Killer Queen: Royal Revolution campaign.
In the shot, the ?I Kissed a Girl? songstress poses in a snazzy black and gold getup (complete with strange headpiece) next to a knight in shining armor.
Perry uploaded the shot to Instagram along with the caption, "AYO! Today I'm unveiling my new #RoyalRevolution ad! Hope you likey BB's. Look for it in stores later this summer?"
Coty Beauty Fragrances? global marketing vice president Marsha Brooks previously told WWD, ?This fragrance is about female empowerment and breaking the rules.?

Showing more support for the Democratic party, Katy Perry snapped a selfie with Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday (June 24).
After showing off her lovely smile, the ?Dark Horse? singer captioned the photo, ?Brought my Pink pony to the White House to holler @VP Joe Biden. #wheninwashington.?
And it looks like the 71-year-old politician was laying on the charm, as Perry added, ?P.s. He made me call my 93 year old grandma to thank her for my baby blue eyes! What a Q-T.?
As previously reported by GossipCenter, Katy struck a pose with former First Lady Hillary Clinton during her stay in Washington DC for her Prismatic World Tour.

Here is Katy Perry opening night of her ?Prismatic World Tour? at the Verizon Center in Washington, DC.
It quickly becomes apparent, though, that searching for meaning at a Katy Perry concert, one that is filled with impossibly glittery outfits and neon paint and people dressed as animals… is an intriguing but useless exercise.

She?s scored plenty of success penning ditties for herself and now Katy Perry wants to use her hit song prowess to help Hillary Clinton get elected as the first female President of the United States.
While chatting at a promotional event for Clinton?s new book ?Hard Choices,? the ?Hot N Cold? songstress put it out there that she?d be more than happy to craft a campaign tune if need be.
Katy tweeted, "I told @hillaryclinton that I would write her a 'theme' song if she needs it?" along with a photo of them both (Aubrey Plaza photobombed them, if you look closely!).
Clinton wrote back, "Well that?s not a Hard Choice. You already did! Keep letting us hear you Roar."

She?s never bashful when it comes to experimenting with her look and Katy Perry has decided to lighten up- her eyebrows, that is.
The ?Hot N Cold? singer posted a selfie via Instagram with the caption, ?BAUS BISH BB,? to show her fans her newly-bleached brows on Wednesday (June 18), following in the footsteps of Miley Cyrus and Kendall Jenner.
Meanwhile, Ms. Perry has teamed up with Capitol Records to launch her very own imprint called Metamorphosis Music and she?s already signed singer/songwriter Ferras Alqaisi.
Earlier this week, Alqaisi announced via Instagram, "The secret is out! I've signed to my dear friend @katyperry's new record label Metamorphosis Music. Today is the day that my EP is finally out and I'm so happy I now get to share it. Let me know what u think!!! Also, catch me opening up for Katy on #ThePrismaticWorldTour starting June 22!?
Of her new signee, Perry gushed, "Ferras is a man with a message, and a unique lyrical way of communicating his perspective on life that makes you feel connected to every note when you listen. I believe he is going to be an important artist to watch unfold."

As if she doesn't have enough going on, Katy Perry announced that she's been hiding a special project up her sleeve.
The "Roar" singer launched her brand new record label Metamorphosis Music on Tuesday (June 16) via a post on Twitter.
"I am so ECSTATIC to finally announce my NEW label Metamorphosis Music & my first signing, the incredibly talented & soulful FERRAS!" the 29-year-old posted.
The project is a joint venture with her current record label, Capitol Records. Her first act with the label was signing singer Ferras, who opened up for Katy's Pristmatic World Tour.
"Her instincts are really on point," Ferras said in a release about Perry's production work. "She is very blunt and doesn?t sugar-coat things, which I appreciate. Also, she gave me the freedom to do what I wanted musically and was a natural partner."

There?s no place like home, and Katy Perry was hot on the trail of her next new address in Beverly Hills on Saturday (June 14).
Dressed in a short plaid skirt and bright yellow top, the ?Firework? female brought her family along for the excursion after having previously sold her 3 acre Hollywood Hills home that she owned with ex-husband Russell Brand.
Meanwhile, Katy has a plan for showing love to teachers all over the nation and she?s teaming up with Staples Inc for the ?Make Roar Happen? campaign.
Perry told ?Good Morning America,? ?I'm an American girl that had a dream, executed a dream, came from nothing ? and that really is the American dream. I'm happy to be that example and hopefully inspire other people to do that."
"I really believe knowledge is power, especially for females. I feel like our education makes us more confident. I thought, instead of shopping my way around the world, why not educate my way around the world?"
Staples honcho Alison Corcoran added, ??Make Roar Happen? builds on Staples? commitment to teachers in a new and engaging way. With music that inspires people worldwide, Katy Perry is a powerful voice to encourage people to ?Roar? and recognize teachers for their impact both inside and outside the classroom. Our $1 million donation will help teachers supply their classrooms just in time for back to school.?
Katy chimed in, ?I?m glad to partner with Staples on my Prismatic World Tour to raise awareness and funds for DonorsChoose.org, and to remind my fans that a small gesture can make a large impact on the very basic materials classrooms need for teachers to help students reach their full potential.?
