PHOTO Katy Perry “Roar” single cover art revealed

ByAsa Hawks

Katy Perry has promised fans that her next album Prism will be darker and more mature than her previous pop endeavors, and being the marketing maestro that she is, she’s doing the reveal in stages via social media leading up to the album’s release on October 22. The latest reveal was in the form of the cover art for the first single from the album titled “Roar,” which doesn’t seem very dark, and I don’t know about being all that “more mature” either — although there is a noticeable lack of whipped cream shooting out of her boobs.

Russell Brand jokes about sex life with ex-wife Katy Perry, says he thought of “anyone else”

ByStarcasm Staff

The marriage of Russell Brand and Katy Perry was short-lived, but apparently we’ll never stop hearing about it. They were only married for 14 months, and because of Katy’s rigorous touring schedule, they barely spent any time together. Even so, it seems it was enough time for sex-addicted Russell to get tired of his rarely seen wife. He recently joked during his standup routine that he fantasized about “anyone else” during sexy times.

Do Katy Perry’s preacher parents approve of her career?

ByStarcasm Staff

Saucy pop singer Katy Perry (who’s documentary movie Part of Me 3D debuted at number 8 at the box office this weekend) has been very vocal about her strict Christian upbringing. She wasn’t allowed to read any books or listen to any music that wasn’t Christian, and couldn’t even use words her parents considered to be associated with the devil, like “Lucky Charms” (Lucifer) or “Dirt Devil.” Katy even told Vanity Fair last year that she didn’t feel like she’d had a childhood.

In fact, as a teen, she had to rock music in her bag to avoid being “strip searched” by her strict parents.
Katy’s parents Keith and Mary Perry Hudson, who have been traveling evangelist preachers for almost 40 years, are now using their high profile status as a pop star’s parents to ramp up their ministry. What’s their relationship with their daughter? Do they approve of her sexualized pop star career?
