Everybody is falling fast for Katy Perry, whose song “I Kissed a Girl” was just blocked from topping the iTunes Top 100 by those evil guys in Coldplay. Have you no heart, Chris Martin?
This girl is sweet. Raised by pastor parents in Santa Barbara, she nearly became a Christian rock star as a teenager before coming to her senses, dying her hair black and defecting to the dark side of mainstream pop.
Her first single, which was charmingly called “Ur So Gay,” served as a kiss-off to an eyeliner wearing ex, and she will be spending her summer traveling the country with the sweaty, tattooed men of the Warped Tour.
Q: Which executives at the record label came up with the idea to put you on a soap opera?
A: You know what? It wasn’t their idea. It was a friend of mine who’s helping give the show more edge. At first I was like, “Nah.” And then the next week Snoop Dogg was on “As the World Turns.” So I said, “Let’s do it!” Snoop Dogg is my standard for everything in life.
Q: You must smoke an insane amount of pot.
A: Not anymore. I want to kill myself every time I do it. I think Snoop is just gangsta. He’s not my role model, just my role model to do something new.
Q: Is “I Kissed a Girl” based on a real experience?
A: All of my songs are kind of like chapters from my brutally honest diary of my life. With that song, I was reading a magazine and opened it up to a picture of either Scarlett Johansson or Megan Fox, and I turned to my boyfriend and said, “You know, if they walked through the door and asked me to pucker up, I would just do it.”
Q: He must have been so bummed.
A: He was.
Q: Is this the same guy from “Ur So Gay?”
A: Yeah, right.
Q: Do you always date guys who steal your makeup and jeans?
A: I date these very metro-sexual guys. I love that they’re very emotional and communicative, but sometimes it’s like, “Dude, I need my flatiron back, and you’ve used all my eyeliner.”
Q: Would you ever hook up with an ugly guy?
A: Yeah, sure. I fall in love with the type of person. If they’re a douche bag, I don’t care if they look like David Beckham.
Here’s her video for her newest single, ‘I Kissed a Girl’:
