Katy Perry covers the March issue of Elle in conjunction with her Super Bowl extravaganza and Billboard cover. The Grammys are coming up in a few days, so this must be the week of Katy. She’s nominated for both “Dark Horse” and Prism.
This Elle cover is muted but quite pretty. Katy’s wearing a Giambattista Valli top and skirt with Chanel and Graziela Germs jewelry. Elle notes how Katy chose to wear her own nose ring. The interview was rather extensive (for Elle) and lasted three days in Australia. The journo, Amanda FitzSimons, calls Katy “eloquent, intensely likeable, and smart.” I won’t call Katy dumb, but she seems much more savvy than smart. She’s a shrewd businesswoman, which is more valuable than simply being smart. Here’s some excerpts.
On total control: “In my show, I am boss daddy. I am boss mommy. They call me Boss. Everything goes through my eyes; I call all the shots, 100 percent of it. With the NFL, I have to be accountable to several levels of red tape. There are many committees I have to go through for my costumes, the budgets of my show, every interview—everything, I have to report to somebody. So I am no longer the boss; I have to relinquish that control. We love this opportunity, but once you decide you’re gonna do the Super Bowl, you’re gonna have no f***ing life for six months. It is the biggest thing. Anyone that’s ever done it has been scared sh*tless. You stay off the Internet for the five days afterward.”
On her contemporaries: “Oh my God. I’m such a big Beyonce fan. Beyonce just put out a video! You’ve got to see this video I was like, Finallllly. Finally I see you. I don’t see some propaganda version of you. I see you. I relate to who you are.”
On being a pop star: “It is a hundred times harder a dream than the dream that I dreamt when I was nine … You think you signed up for one thing, but you automatically sign up for a hundred others. And that is why you see people shaving their f***ing heads.”
If pop stars were in a soap opra: “You’ve got to name someone the villain, someone the princess, someone the mom-, the dad-type–you know there always have to be characters. As pop figures, we’re all characters. And the media uses that. Who is the sweetheart, who is the villain? You know. Taylor’s the sweetheart. Kanye’s the villain. That’s the narrative.”

Now there’s a dig against Taylor. Katy’s calling her frenemy out for playing the role of the cutesey sweetheart, and that’s the best Katy can do. The silly feud is alive and well, but don’t tell Kanye he’s the villain. He’d be flattered. Did you catch the “propaganda” remark about Beyonce? Ouch.

She had a stellar showing at the Super Bowl and Katy Perry created plenty of buzz on the Twitter social networking website.
On Monday (February 2), the ?Dark Horse? dame participated in a new round of ?Mean Tweets? on Jimmy Kimmel Live, reading, ?Katy Perry has a voice that reminds me of balls covered in glass sliding down my throat. Nice gal.?
Also included in Kimmel?s latest music edition was Josh Groban- ?Would you rather listen to Josh Groban or have diarrhea ladled into your ear? Hard choice, amirite?? as well as Ariana Grande- ?I?d rather listen to an auto-tuned queef played on a continuous loop than Ariana Grande?s new album,? and Lady Gaga- ?A Lady Gaga fragrance? Bet it smells like d*ck.?

Here is Katy Perry kicking off her performance atop a robotic tiger onstage during the Pepsi Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
Perry then transitioned into her megahit ?Dark Horse? before rocking out on stage with Lenny Kravitz, who couldn?t have looked more like a rocker in a leather jacket and red aviators. While singing ?I Kissed a Girl,? John Mayer?s ex didn?t hold back and gyrated against the rocker while whipping her hair back and forth.

She?s always been a witty woman and Katy Perry had reporters eating out of the palm of her hand during the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show press conference on Thursday night (January 29) in Phoenix.
The ?Firework? songstress referenced the New England Patriots? ?Deflategate? scandal in her opening remarks- ?I don?t think I?m so much of an expert on the game of football, but I think I can assure everyone here that nothing in my performance will be deflated.?
Perry went on to announce her pick for Super Bowl champ- ?I love the Seahawks because of [quarterback Russell Wilson], and I think I?m probably going to go for them.? And of course, Katy?s adorable dog Butters made an appearance!

Katy Perry covers the February issue of ESPN mag to promote her upcoming “ideal” Super Bowl halftime act. Her covermate is none other than Texans defensive end J.J. Watt. Katy has no idea who the dude is, so we have something in common. Since I’m from Oklahoma, I keep confusing the guy’s name with former congressman J.C. Watts. There’s my lazy excuse. Katy’s performing in the year’s biggest game, so she should know better, right? In this joint interview, Katy and J.J. both play the role of the underdog who clawed their way to the top:
Katy didn’t know who Watts was: “I went straight to Google. I’ve been showing it to my friends, saying, ‘Check out this guy. I’m gonna be shootin’ with this guy.’”
Her first football game was last fall? “Journey was playing ‘Don’t Stop Believing,’ and I just thought, ‘Why not be the quintessential college girl and jump off the bar?’ It was everything I dreamed of. I only need to do it once, though. That was the one time on the tour that I really had a couple of beers. And the next day I was like [groan] …”
Katy’s most rewarding moments: “For me, it’s about the lyrics, when they’re all singing these songs I wrote in a little apartment, or in a garage, or a small studio. Especially when I first started, hearing these lyrics that were so sacred to me, hearing thousands of people sing them, it’s an incredible feeling that is unmatched to anything else.”
Her childhood: “Everybody would be going about their business, and then all of a sudden their heads would turn when I would start singing. It was this magic trick that I had. I guess I loved that attention. And I went for it. But when I was singing into a hairbrush, I had no idea the incredible amount of work that would be asked of me in order to be at this level. A lot of people would agree that it’s easy to get to the top, but it’s about staying there, following it up with great plays every time.”
Is she nervous? “Honestly? I feel like I’ve outdreamt my dream. I don’t get nervous about much, but I’ll definitely be a little tingly inside that day.”
[From ESPN mag]
This is a pretty sanitized interview without much to grab onto, mostly because at least 115 million eyes will be glued to the Super Bowl no matter what. The softball questions were answered in kind. Does anyone else find it hilarious that Katy doesn’t know jack about football, but she’s playing the halftime show in a few weeks? It doesn’t matter, really.
Katy’s discussion of lasting power is interesting. I never suspected she’d be around long after her gimmicky, faux-lesbian entry to stardom, but she proved us all wrong. Does that surprise you?

| | Katy Perry: My female empowerment songs make me the ideal Super Bowl act | | Added 9 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Before I get into the main part of this post, I wanted to mention the People puff piece about how Katy Perry and John Mayer are “in love” after getting back together for a fourth time. Kaiser, CB, and I all took bets on how long this time will last. I’m probably going to lose by saying John will propose this time (before breaking it off), but we’ll see.
Now for the more interesting part. The Super Bowl is only two weeks away, and Katy’s preparing her act. She refused the “pay to play” proposal by the NFL. The league’s stance is that the artists gain great exposure from 110 million viewers. I disagree. Any act who plays for the Super Bowl is well established and will bring plenty of their own audience to the table. The NFL’s greed shines through with the dumb “pay to play” scheme.
Anyway. Katy talked to the Chicago Tribune about that subject and also the Ray Rice situation. CBS saw fit to pull a Rihanna performance (because, hey, why let a DV survivor have a voice?) before they hired Katy. Of course Katy is talking up how her female empowerment tunes make her the best performer possible for this year’s game. Oh?
On the NFL’s handling of Ray Rice: “It wasn’t an image problem, it was a problem. We were all watching and asking ourselves questions about what this year would mean. But I think that the problem that the NFL is dealing with is a global problem … we need to work out — or educate people on.”
Katy can help: “I’m all about female empowerment and uplifting people’s spirits, and people finding their own voice with songs like ‘Roar’ and ‘Firework,’ so maybe there is no better person. Hopefully I can bring that incredible strength and empowerment to people through the performance.”
Katy won’t “pay for play”: “I put my foot down very early in the courtship. I said, ‘Look guys, here’s where I draw a line in the sand. I want to be invited on my own merits and not with some fine print. I stuck to my position … I don’t even care if my contract leaks. … I have nothing to hide, basically.”
She won’t have a “wardrobe malfunction”: “Everything I’ve done in my career hasn’t been blatant this or that. It’s always with a wink. It’s a soft-serve sexiness. My intention is that everyone talks about the music and nothing else. … Sometimes you can’t control other people. But I will control myself.”
[From Chicago Tribune]
I don’t know, man. Katy doesn’t even know the meaning of feminism, so it bugs when she talks about being the strongest candidate for empowering women. She did successfully woo millions of grade-school girls into singing about wanting to see a “Peac*ock.” I guess that’s enough female empowerment for Katy. She’s so clueless, and the whole “soft-serve sexiness” part is hilarious. Because … whipped cream rack.
One silver lining: Lenny Kravitz (!) will share the stage with Katy. If she does to “Let Love Rule” what Fergie did to “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” the gloves are off. At least we’ll have something nice to look at.

She?s currently on tour in Australia and Katy Perry made the most of some downtime by taking a seriously sexy selfie.
On Thursday (November 13), the ?I Kissed a Girl? songstress posted the snapshot via Twitter along with the caption, ?Feeling v Loita rn [right now],? and soon thereafter her fans had retweetd the post more than 24,000 times.
The Lolita reference comes from Katy?s song ?One of the Boys? in which she sings, "So over the summer something changed / I started reading Seventeen and shaving my legs / And I studied Lolita religiously / And I walked right into school and caught you staring at me."
Perry previously explained her connection to the character from Vladimir Naobkov?s 1955 novel ?Lolita?- "As many of you readers know? I am mildly obsessed with the character Lolita. I have studied this woman's every move. I found her a most fascinating creature?she was young and innocent but had a bit of a sex kitten in her and knew exactly how to use it.?
"I have ALWAYS been obsessed with the Lolita portrayed by the fantastic actress, Dominique Swain in the movie Lolita with Jeremy Irons (A MUST BUY). I have studied her every move, braided my hair like hers, tried to find jumpers like hers and high waisted shorts. To this woman?lolita/Dominique I owe my career practically."
