The Gay Interview: Katy Perry

Posted on

Our correspondent Chris Azzopardi got a sit-down (well, via transatlantic phone) with pop star Katy Perry, just in time for the release of her concert documentary, Katy Perry: Part of Me 3D, which comes out today.  The patriotic pop princess talks the film, kissing gay boys and fighting hate with love bullets.

 KATY PERRY IN 3D

It was not really last Friday night, but it still happened: Katy Perry called from London, where it was nearly 1 a.m. If life really does imitate art, she smelled like a mini-bar on a night that’s soon to be a blacked-out blur, right?

“Not tonight,” she insists. “I have to play and be professional tomorrow, but maybe after the show I’ll be having a couple of Shirley Temples with some adult juice in them.”

We spoke with Perry just after she made a surprise appearance in London for a screening of her new film, Katy Perry: Part of Me 3D, a docu-concert chronicling the California girl’s evolution from gospel-singing daughter of two pastors to international pop phenom … with the most lethal boobs in the world.

During our interview, Perry told us what else they shoot besides whipped cream, how the gay community can relate to her movie and why Madonna doesn’t scare her.

After receiving pseudo-tweets galore, we finally have a winner for those Katy Perry tickets

Posted on

Thanks to all of you who responded to our Katy Perry/Robyn ticket giveaway. The winning pseudo-tweet belonged to Jonathon with the following:

My Teenage Dream was for the Prom King to ditch the California girl so I could get his heart racing in my skin tight jeans!

We enjoyed reading your teenage dreams, but the winner was selected at random by our very own intern, Draconis von Trapp. Since we didn’t want you to be upset at any of us (mostly me), I asked Drake to pick a number.

Congrats, Jonathon! Have fun tonight.

Katy Perry & Robyn tonight at Verizon

Posted on

Pop fantasia

Take one part radio friendly diva, another part alt-pop queen and put them on tour together and bam, it’s like Candyland for pop music. Where Katy Perry delivers irresistible bubblegum treats, Robyn gives steely dance gems and the audience wins with both on hand the same night. DJ Skeet Skeet opens up the night for this stop of the California Dreams Tour.

Both artists weren’t too much in the interviewing mood, but we kinda dig Cat Downes’ faux interview with the two here.

DEETS: Verizon Theatre, 1001 Performance Place, Grand Prairie. 7:30 p.m. $45. Ticketmaster.com.

PS. If you’re a  fan of Robyn, catch her DJ set after the show at the Rio Room.

We don’t want to know what you did “Last Friday Night,” but we are wondering if you have plans for Thursday.

Katy Perry’s California Dreams tour lands at Verizon Theatre on Thursday night, and you could be in on the action.

    Concert Notice (kinda): Robyn to perform DJ set at Rio Room after opening for Katy Perry

    Posted on

    Funny how Katy Perry is Thursday night’s headliner at Verizon, but I seem to be seeing Robyn all over the Interwebs lately. The remix video of “Never Will Be Mine” has been released which I’m kinda obsessing over right now. The original holds up, but I needed an upbeat for this hot afternoon.

    ‘California Gays’ creator takes on Rihanna

    Posted on

    Katy Perry’s “California Girls” had everyone in a tizzy last summer, but perhaps none more so than Ryan James Yezak, who created the viral parody video “California Gays.” The video got a whole lotta views and even inspired other “Girls” parodies and take-offs.

    Yezak talks at length with Instinct in an interview posted today, and he also debuts his newest video “Only Gay in the World” complete with shirtless, AbFitch types dancing and sexing it up all over the place. The boys lip-sync for their lives to Rihanna’s “Only Girl in the World” amid a fanciful cornucopia of imagery that gets political but remains a fun watch and pretty well done — as is the interview. Watch it below.

    Concert Notice: Katy Perry brings her ‘Teenage Dream’ to Verizon Theatre in July

    Posted on

    True fans of Katy Perry probably got this word first. The pop singer announced on Facebook that she’ll be on the road with her California Dreams 2011 world tour. The tour itself is sounding pretty interactive. The press release says the following:

    Katy is planning on interacting with fans through social media networks throughout the California Dreams tour. Using Facebook Places/Deals, fans will be able to check into the venues each night to receive special treats. Fans will also be able to submit their own photos of the show via Twitter which will be incorporated into the live show and also live on her website.

    That’ sounds like a whole lotta work. Can’t we just go see the show?

    Whilst touring, the release says Perry is about to release “E.T.,” as the album’s fourth single and begin shooting the video.

    She’s scheduled to play North Texas at the Verizon Theatre on July 28. Take a look at her here from her performance in Dallas as part of the 2008 Vans Warped Tour.

    Just like at her concerts, Britney Spears doesn’t actually sing on leaked clip from her new single

    Posted on

    Britney Spears is slowly building up her own buzz in her attempt to catch up to Lady Gaga and Katy Perry. This two-minute clip of her next single “Hold It Against Me” was released … er, leaked, today. Spears clearly isn’t doing the vocals, but Just Jared points out that it sounds a whole lot like Ke$ha. And he’s right. I could overspeculate on why she would leak the song if she’s not even singing it, but then the trite dance beat and juvenile lyrics like So if I said I want your body now/ would you hold it against me? (really?) reminded me not to waste my time. 

    Like Gaga, Spears teased the masses with a tweet mentioning the real release of “Hold It …” which comes out Tuesday. All the kids are doing it.

    WATCH: Adam Lambert makes out with Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears while Katy Perry watches

    Posted on

    I’d be remiss not to post some Adam Lambert tidbit considering his concert is in just a few hours.

    Here on Scissor Sisters News, cameras catch Lambert and SS frontman Jake Shears in a hot liplock as Katy Perry catches it all on film. Scandalous. However, we’d like to know more about this gingerbread cookie thing.
