Katy Perry

Yesterday, the Daily Telegraph ran a Katy Perry interview that made me roll my eyes. The paper quoted Katy about how Russell Brand dumped her via text message around Christmas 2011: “He hasn’t spoken to me since he texted me saying he was filing for divorce. I don’t want to talk about him — my songs will say what I need to say.” Given Katy’s pattern for bringing up Rusty for years (she also discussed the matter with Vogue), I fell for the interview. This is the same woman who signed divorce papers with a happy face, you know? Russell may have been harsh and immature enough to dump Katy via text, but at least he’s stayed pretty classy when discussing her in the press. Anyway, Katy owned the Telegraph.

It’s really inappropriate when journalists repurpose interviews done 3 yrs ago in context of promoting a film & then stamp a new date on it.

Katy’s also been doing some PR rounds. She threatened promised a new album by 2016. She spoke with Idolator about how her new album will be a reinvention: “Because I can’t keep topping myself because I’ll just combust at some point.” She promised to “craft songs about real life experiences” after her Prismatic tour concludes. What will she write about? Well, she may end up writing about her marriage with Rusty after all. It wouldn’t surprise me. But the Telegraph shouldn’t have re-run those quotes from an old interview.

All of that nonsense aside, I do respect Katy’s blind ambition. Her grandiose statements about talent aren’t even that annoying. Katy knows exactly what she’s doing with her career. She’s just completely vapid when it comes to everything else.
