Despite the rugged-man persona Ernest Hemingway tried to project, papers sent from Cuba to Boston reveal he really was quite a romantic when it came to writing love letters to his fourth and final wife, Mary. [Guanabee]—“Pickle, it is so wonderful to love someone who is not so unreasonable as a bitch giraffe from Bryn Mawr in heat.” Priceless.
Demi Lovato says she’s sick of the media using her love life and rumors she’s dating Joe Jonas to fill their gossip columns. [Starpulse]—Get used to it, hon, if you plan to stay in the industry.
Katy Perry and Russell Brand, rumored to be dating, made their first public outing together at the John Galliano show at Paris Fashion Week. Brand-y! Get it? No? [Paris, 10/8/09]
The paparazzi were on hand to snap away behind-the-scenes as Katy Perry shot a rather wet-looking new video yesterday in LA. (They’re so helpful, those guys.) But it was Katy’s stylist who really went out of his way to assist when he lent not one, but two hands to make sure his client and her girls were looking their best. This may seem extreme, but there are lots of male fashion stylists out there and we’re pretty sure plenty of their mitts have been in even more intimate places than this. In fact, we shudder to think how much work Gaga‘s dresser has cut out for herself. Or himself. Haha, get it? (Uh, maybe not, never mind.) [TMZ]
T-minus 16 days until the MTV Music Video Awards on Sept. 13, and the promo videos for the show are actually way cute. Above, MTV’s version of “Tonight” from “West Side Story” starring Cobra Starship, Leighton Meester, Ne-Yo, Katy Perry, and Taylor Swift. After the jump, Britney Spears and Russell Brand flirt via telepathy.
“I remember really vividly kneeling by my bed as a nine-year-old, saying my prayers and asking God to give me boobs that were so big that if I laid on my back I wouldn’t be able to see my feet. Eventually that request was granted. A bit of divine intervention displays the power of prayer!”
Over many seasons of “American Idol,” contestants and viewers alike became familiar with the sometimes incoherent ramblings of Paula Abdul. Now that she’s decided to leave the show, producers have come up with a creative solution on how to replace her. Contestants auditioning for the next season of “American Idol” will not only have to get over stage fright, but they’ll need to stop themselves from being starstruck. For the auditions, Paula will be replaced by a rotating cadre of actual celebrities, a new star in each of the seven cities. Yesterday, we found out Victoria Beckham would be one of the guest judges. Now Katy Perry is in. Producers are scrambling to find five more. [E! Online]
Katy Perry visited East Side Tattoo in the East Village late last night to get “Josh Grobin” (um, it’s “Groban,” Katy…) tattooed on her right breast. Thankfully, it’s only temporary. [NYC, 7/28/09]
Katy Perry did a quick armpit check while performing at the Moison Amphitheatre. She doesn’t look offended, so her deodorant must be effective. [Toronto, 7/26/09]
Katy Perry posted this photo of her on Twitter, so presumably it’s her? I always knew she looked like the kind of girl to eat pizza with a fork and knife. [Buzzfeed]
Katy Perry is suing Australian “luxury loungewear” designer, Katie Perry, over the use of their her name. Apparently, even though 2-year-old line doesn’t include candy colored rompers, the pop tart wants her to back off on exploiting her name for branding purposes.
Katie Perry didn’t take this so well. “I got such a huge shock. It really felt like I was being intimidated and bullied into signing everything away. [The papers] asked me to give up the trademark, withdraw sales of my clothes, withdraw any advertising and any Web sites and sign that I will not in the future use a similar trademark to Katy Perry. I pretty much burst into tears.” All this over some yoga pants? Frankly, we don’t know what all the fuss is about because even when you Google Katie Perry clothes or Australia, the singer is the only one that comes up, despite the misspelling. Katy has clearly already taken over the world! Besides, there are a bunch of other famous peeps who have done just fine for themselves sharing a name with someone less famous. Here are seven, well, fourteen other names you’ll recognize.
Guys who go on and on and on about lady-love are so annoying. They’re lesbians, dude—they’re NOT going to be into you. The latest annoyance? “Girl Gotta Girlfriend” by the rappers Mams Taylor, Snoop Dogg and Bobby Valentino (listen above!), about a man with a girlfriend who tries to bring home a second woman for the night. Aren’t these lyrics touching?
“My girlfriend kissing on her girlfriend / They getting real naughty/ My money is cool, but I’d rather have you and my girlfriend running around my crib naked.”
The lesbian blog AfterEllen.com flipped ‘em a big gay bird, saying:
“Lesbians: We are just here for your pleasure. Do you have money and some champagne and a hotel room? Just tell us where and when!”
Yawn, enough with songs by heterosexual dudes about how great it would be to bang two women at once. There’s plenty of songs out there about real girl/girl relationships by Ani DiFranco, t.A.T.u, Jill Sobule, Le Tigre and a bunch of others. And a few fun ones by Lady GaGa and Katy Perry. Go cuddle up with your gal pal and take a listen.
So I guess we’re not the only ones shunning, shagging, and marrying? On a recent Australian radio show, “Kyle and Jackie O,” Katy Perry was posed the familiar question: Shoot, shag or marry? The players: Pete Wentz, Benji Madden, John Mayer. Perry didn’t take long to answer. “Well, Pete seems like a really good dad, as of lately. So no offense Ashley, if you believe in multiple wives, I would marry Pete.” Okay, agreed. Then she followed up with this: “I don’t know if I could marry John Mayer, it would just be so intense. I’d definitely shag the s**t out of him though. I can go on record saying that.” Whoa. John Mayer, I’m sure you can get Katy’s number. CALL HER. [X17]
Of course, that left Benji. “I guess I’d have to shoot Benji, he’s a nice guy, but someone’s got to go down.”
Cindy Crawford is the new face of some cheap-ass shampoo. The forty-three-year-old fashion model is hocking Austria’s Beauty Kiss line, which entails looking sexy while soaking wet in what looks to be a dungeon. Hmm, looks just like Katy Perry’s bondage cover for the June/July 2009 issue of Complex. So who do you think would wield a whip better?
Megan Fox said she’s comfortable with her bisexuality and could see herself in a relationship with a woman. “Olivia Wilde is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands,” she said. [TMZ]
Kate Gosselin admits that she and Jon have been struggling in their marriage for months. “I don’t know that we’re in the same place anymore, that we want the same thing,” she told People. [People]
Harrison Ford has confirmed that he did propose to longtime girlfriend Calista Flockhart. [OK! Magazine]
The title of this song says it all. High-stakes gambling, luxury hotel rooms, sparkly clothes, and bright lights abound in this Sin City dream featuring a wide-eyed Katy Perry. Oh, and the song isn’t bad either.
Pete Doherty misses Kate Moss so much that he’s willing to headbutt her new boyfriend and run away with her thrown over his shoulder. [DListed]
Josh Groban and Katy Perry aren’t dating. According to his rep, they’re just really close friends. Yeah, we’ve heard that one before. [People]
Jermaine Dupri and Janet Jackson are still together. She must have needed a shoulder to cry on once she realized no one was going to her concerts. [Media Takeout]
