Katy Perry covers the newest issue of Forbes to highlight her status as the highest earning musician on the Celebrity 100 list. Over the past year, Katy earned $135 million. This includes cosmetic and fashion endorsements plus 124 concerts in 27 countries, which yieled her about $2 million gross per show. (This is how she can afford to purchase a convent in cash.) About 60% of her earnings come from abroad.
For a pop star who sings in clichs, Katy is doing well. She’s laughing at everyone who calls her a dimwit. Katy revealed her Forbes cover and said people warned her against it:
“Before accepting the offer to be on the cover of Forbes, I was told that a lot of women have previously shied away from doing it. I wondered if it was because they thought socially it would look like they were flaunting or bragging or it wasn?t a humble decision. Ladies, there is a difference between being humble and working hard to see the fruits of your labor blossom, and your dreams realized. Hopefully this cover can be an inspiration to women out there that it?s okay to be proud of hard earned success and that there is no shame in being a boss. Also … don?t think that I didn?t celebrate this moment by going straight to Taco Bell and getting my crunch wrap supreme”

Is it true that many women have turned down doing Forbes covers? Sadly, I believe it. MTV calls this cover “a feminist statement,” which is interesting because Katy’s unusual definition of feminism doesn’t jibe. Still, congrats to Katy. She’s spoken before about her “empire,” and I’ve always suspected she’s much smarter than she appears (cultural appropriation aside).

Katy Perry is looking to purchase a former convent in Los Feliz. She so badly wants this property that she’s offered to pay $14.5 million in cash. The only hangup? Perry’s battling with the elderly Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary to purchase the property. The Sisters say they own the property, and they sold it for $15.5 million to a restauranteur a few weeks ago. They made a quick sale to keep the convent out of Katy’s hands. Unfortunately, the archdiocese wants Katy to own the property, so legal paperwork is in process.
Katy started pursuing the former convent, which features “spectacular” views of Los Angeles, three years ago. It sounds like she became interested in the place right after she and Russell Brand split. Katy wants to live there with her mom and grandma. Will Katy’s father live there too? Who knows, but the nuns who currently live there aren’t happy about Katy’s image messing up their sacred land:
Perry seems to have given her all in going after the property, and tried to make a good impression on the nuns at a recent meeting. I’m told that Perry dressed rather conservatively, and according to two of the sisters, she sang “Oh Happy Day” for them and showed them a “Jesus” tattoo on her wrist area. I would have advised her to sing “Kumbayah,” but I’m not in the entourage.
The nuns shrugged, and there have been no happy days since. Just lots of accusations, disagreements and legal filings. Lawyers can’t even agree on who represents the nuns. The nuns knew the archbishop had lined up a buyer who was supposed to be a famous performer, but the name didn’t mean anything to the sisters, who range in age from 77 to 88. So Sister Rita [Callahan] did a little research on the Internet.
“Well, I found Katy Perry and I found her videos and … if it’s all right to say, I wasn’t happy with any of it,” said Sister Rita, who told me she would rather not elaborate on her concerns as to whether Perry is a suitable candidate to live in a convent.
When Sister Rita learned that Perry would be performing during the Super Bowl halftime, she tuned in. Perry sang “Teenage Dream,” (Let you put your hands on me. In my skin-tight jeans.) which was not a good choice, given Sister Rita’s careful monitoring of the show. Sister Rita then watched as Perry was lifted off the ground and flew around the stadium as if riding a shooting star.
“I thought, is that a way to make money?” said Sister Rita. “Maybe I could fly around. I could be the flying nun.”
[From LA Times]
Of course Katy flashed her “Jesus” tattoo! She also reportedly told the nuns that she wanted to “sit in the meditation garden, drink green tea and ‘find herself.’” Katy’s such a wishy-washy mess. She should have simply taken a lowkey tour of the property and then sent agents to complete the sale instead of showing off her tattoo. These poor nuns have already watched Katy’s Super Bowl performance. Isn’t that enough suffering?

Having a blast in the boot-shaped country of Italy, Katy Perry showed up at the Moschino runway presentation in Florence on Thursday (June 18).
The ?I Kissed a Girl? songstress wore a Moschino-branded dress and hammed it up with creative director Jeremy Scott during the 88 Pitti Uomo.
In a recent interview, Jeremy told ELLE that he met Katy for the first time in 2008 when she boldly approached him at a Los Angeles event- ?She said, ?Hi, I'm a singer and you're my favorite designer. One day, I hope to wear your things onstage. My name is Katy Perry."'

She?s been busy touring the globe as of late, and last night (May 4) Katy Perry showed up at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City for the 2015 Met Gala shindig.
Showing off her black pixie hairdo, the ?I Kissed a Girl? songstress was escorted by Moschino mastermind Jeremy Scott and she looked fabulous in one of his spray paint creations.
Every year the Met Gala provides the operating budget for the Costume Institute and since 1999, Anna Wintour has headed up the event, raising more than $145 million. Tickets run $25,000 each or $175,000 for a table of 10.

| | Katy Perry in Moschino at the Met Gala: did she nail the theme? | | Added 9 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Katy Perry walked the Met Gala red carpet with a new pixie cut that looks suspiciously like the wig she sported on April Fool’s Day. Some people think it’s a real cut, but I’m calling it a wig. Her dress is Moschino, straight off the runway. Does she fit the evening’s theme with this grafitti print and oodles of ruffles? Not really, but she stuck with her own quirky style and managed not to appropriate. Baby steps, y’all! Plus her clutch arrives in the shape of a spray paint can. I think she looks gaudy, but she usually throws that vibe. This dress is better than most of us expected from Katy last night.
Olivia Wilde captured the gala’s punk theme a few years too late in this Pink prada number with grey leather gloves. She’s ridiculously bejeweled, but you can tell that she loves what she’s wearing.
Katie Holmes also tried to fake a haircut, but this ‘do is definitely a wig. For a Zac Posen gown, this is surprisingly unstructured. The faint floral pattern at the bottom of the skirt fits the gala’s theme.
Kristen Wiig went super casual in a drapey, yellow Prabal Gurung gown. This dress had a lot of fabric that overwhelmed Kristen. Everyone said she was so nice on the red carpet, which isn’t surprising.
Sienna Miller aimed for the theme but came up with a matador vibe in this embellished, red Thakoon number. Tasselled earings matched her black belt detail, and Sienna remembered the most important accessory of all — a hefty dose of double-sided tape.

Alexa Chung wore an Erdem with its trademark pockets. This dress was better in motion, and the fabric was dreamy. Her shoes gave an unexpected pop of color.

Here is Katy Perry pulling out all the fashion stops when she attended Karl Lagerfeld’s Cruise With Karl boat party on the Hudson river.
She opted for a head-to-toe look, right off the Chanel Spring/Summer 2015 runway, as she rocked a pair of vinyl, high-waisted pinstripe trousers and a black and white sweater that clung to her assets.

Kaiser already covered the Katy Perry fashion week photos from the Givenchy show. These are pictures of Katy wearing one of her Lolita-type outfits at the Jeremy Scott event. After her fashion week visit, Katy immediately went back to touring. She does work hard, but she’s in Amsterdam now, so will she party hard? Katy called Elvis Duran yesterday to talk about how she won’t partake of Amsterdam’s abundant marijuana supply:
She doesn’t like pot: “I’m going to go to the red light district tonight, actually, but let me just say this. Weed doesn’t agree with me! I turn into more of a weirdo than I actually am. I don’t really even do cocktails anymore. There’s a certain point in your life where you just turn to red wine, and that’s kind of the point I’ve turned to … A nice Malbec–I love a nice Malbec.”
Her current food habits: “I’m eating myself around the world. I was doing that kind of pseudo-Paleo think before the Super Bowl, because I had like a real goal,” she said. “And then, like the moment I got offstage, I had a Papa John’s pizza waiting for me with extra garlic sauces! I’ve just been kind of eating! I’ve been to all these great places in Italy, and all of these great place in France and had all the food that goes along with it. But I do have to shoot something important coming up in about three weeks, so I’m back to like digesting oatmeal and asparagus.”
Cardio doesn’t help her any
