She loves a big crowd and Katy Perry will play to over one hundred million viewers when she takes the stage during the halftime show at Super Bowl XLIX in February.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the ?I Kissed a Girl? singer has been selected for the highly-coveted gig and she even joked about it during ESPN?s College GameDay last weekend.
Perry shared, "We have had some conversations, and I would be honored, of course. But I have let them know that I'm not the kind of girl who would pay to play the Super Bowl. The ball is in their field."
One music industry agent called the NFL?s attempt to get artists to pay to play the Super Bowl ?a joke.? "Obviously it is a marketing boon to play halftime for the Super Bowl. But I hope that everybody tells them to go get stuffed."
Catch Katy Perry on the Super Bowl XLIX stage on February 1st!

Katy Perry covers the October issue of Harper’s Bazaar in an Asian-inspired shoot. The theme doesn’t stand out on the cover as much as the editorial. Katy thinks she’s super kawaii in real life. At least she’s not committing cultural appropriation again with “geisha style.” This shoot simply favors Japanese gardens as a backdrop. Katy was probably bored, and her poses reflect that attitude.
The interview is more interesting. Katy says Rolling Stone made up her quote about having a baby without a man. She shades pop stars (like Lady Gaga) for talking to their Twitter followers. Katy claims to not care about anything except finding a really smart man. She’s even studying the Dictionary.com app to land this dude:
Her lifestyle: She meditates “five to six times a week and has an “act-out day about every four to six months. I?ll have a cigarette, which I know is absolutely horrible for me, after a few drinks when I?m having a week off. I don?t do black tar heroin.”
Her future love life: “Open. As I?m heading into my 30s I have less time for bullsh-t. I look for the same characteristics: a sense of humor–someone who makes me laugh off the charts– someone who is sensitive, someone who loves and understands music, and who is really smart. A lot of times I?ve ended up with people who have been intimidated by me, unfortunately. They say they?re not, but it comes out in the long run. They?re threatened, or there?s resentment because they don?t know how to handle it.”
She gives “less of a sh-t” as she gets older: “I hear that the 30s are a better version of your 20s, because you know what you want for yourself. I?ve always been very attracted to gentlemen who have quite large vocabularies. One of my favorite apps is the Dictionary.com app.”
On Twitter: “I can go a week without tweeting and be fine. Like I don?t have to say, ‘Goodnight,? to my followers.” She rolls her eyes.
She loves/hates the internet: “When I do these interviews, a lot of these clips people pull out are like, ‘Katy Perry doesn?t want a man to have babies. I?m like, ‘I didn?t say that. I just said, I?m good.’ Why am I a baby machine? Why can?t I be a mogul? I want to have a baby, sure, but I want to have a career. I want to have a record label. I want to have an incredible tour. So I?m going to have all of those things. Let?s talk about that. It?s like, get out of my ovaries, okay? I?ll do it in time.”
She loses it sometimes: When she?s having an off day, Perry gets “quieter. I can snap a little bit, be a little bitchy to the couple of people around me. Tamra, my assistant, is my closest punching bag. But she?s strong and understands that I have a lot of pressure on me sometimes. But, you know, I went to Santa Barbara, which is my hometown, the other day, and I just drove there, laid out on the beach in my bikini like a starfish, and nobody cared.”
Her fashion: “Whenever the Internet will put me on blast about whatever I wore, I?m like, ‘I ain?t dressin? for you. I don?t dress for you bloggers who are still wearing bandage dresses.’”

Okay, I’m a little mean for chuckling over Katy’s endorsement of the Dictionary.com app since she feels bad about not having a great education. Katy did take a cheap shot at hot blogger fashion, so that makes us even. I don’t know about other bloggers, but I have never worn a bandage dress. Our standard uniforms are sweat pants, yoga pants, and tank tops with the bra built in for convenience. None of this “bandage” stuff.
Katy has a right to be upset about being characterized as a “baby machine” if she didn’t really say that stuff to Rolling Stone. No woman should feel like she has to have a baby, but Katy did play that bait-and-switch game with Rusty Brand years ago.
Oh, and the mean-girl blind item that Taylor Swift offered up yesterday? Katy pretty much outed herself on Twitter. Shade!

Here are Katy Perry & Riff Raff getting MTV VMA red carpet style inspiration from Britney Spears & Justin Timberlake.
Perry had already had quite a night at the 2014 VMAs, even though the show had only just begun. After promising Britney Spears that she would debut a brand new impression on the carpet, she showed up (with Riff Raff) in a hilarious throwback outfit to Spears? (and Justin Timberlake?s) infamous denim look from 2001, much to the surprised delight of every ?90s child in the universe.

Katy Perry recently made a tour stop in Philadelphia and went hog wild at the museums. This is a photo of her outside the Mtter Museum of medical oddities. (This reminds me that she visited the Salem Witch Museum outside Boston last week.) I’ve never been to either of those museums. I’m surprised Katy didn’t go to the Please Touch museum. That’s not a knock! She’s into that cutesy stuff, and she’d probably dig it. Philly has the best museums out of any city that I’ve ever visited (even better than NYC). The Franklin Institute, Academy of Natural Sciences, and Eastern State Penitentiary were all fantastic attractions. Plus there’s the Liberty Bell stuff and Betsy Ross’ house. Philly is just an awesome city with so much stuff to do.
Anyway. Katy has a new collaboration with Staples called the “Make Roar Happen” campaign, which raises money for school supplies. She decided to “pay it forward” because of her biggest regret in life (besides all of her bad-boy exes). Katy wishes she had a better education. She dropped out of high school in 9th grade, and her education was very spotty throughout her childhood. Katy blames “half-Christian, half-education, I-don’t-know-what-they-were schools” and a series of childhood relocations. Her parents are flaky, so I’m not surprised to hear they didn’t make education a priority. Here’s Katy’s thoughts on the situation:
Katy’s biggest regret: “I’m kind of bummed at this stage that I didn’t have a great education because I could really use that these days.”
Her parents’ evangelical lifestyle contributed: “I was being pulled out of school even in the middle of school and sometimes being home-schooled. Sometimes we were sent to these really half-Christian, half-education, I-don’t-know-what-they-were schools.”
One teacher made a difference: “There was a teacher named Agatha Danoff who was my vocal teacher and music teacher at the Music Academy of the West. It was very fancy and I didn’t come from any money … and she always used to give me a break on my lessons. I owe her a lot of credit and I appreciate that she looked out for me when I didn’t have enough money to pay. She believed in me, so this is how I could pay it forward from that one experience.”
Katy’s solution: “I’ve learned to educate myself at this stage and how to continue my education at any age. I’m going on 30 and I’m still very thirsty for information. On tour, we go to different museums and get to soak up all kinds of different cultural experiences.”
Performing at the White House for the Special Olympics: “It was an incredible honor and a learning experience. I was very moved by one girl in particular who came up to me and was telling me that she wanted to be seen not for her obstacle, but she wanted to be seen as a mother that she is, a daughter that she is, a sister — all these other things that she is, not just because she has an obstacle in her life. It was very touching to me … I felt a sense of purpose and I don’t always feel that way.”

Many of us give Katy a hard time for being vapid. She’s certainly culturally insensitive and could do a lot better in that area. A lack of education is no excuse for the racial caricatures she presents onstage and in her videos. Her general vapidity is another story. She wasn’t brought up to value education, and that upsets her. Her partnership with Staples is a worthy cause — school supplies grow more expensive every year, and hopefully some parents will get help in that department. Staples is so expensive though, right? Target’s prices are much better.
Here’s Katy at the Rocky statue outside of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. She was dressed as a pepperoni pizza. Adrian!

Here is Katy Perry waring this incredible pepperoni pizza onesie after her concert in Philadelphia last night… because everyone knows there?s nothing better for relaxing in than a comedy onesie.
Can?t believe somebody would actually design such a painful looking thing, but they again, they got a major(ly annoying) celebrity to cough up what was probably a huge sum of money to buy it

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.”
[From Rolling Stone]
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.
