Did everyone know that Katy Perry (whose song "I Kissed A Girl" has been number one for 7 weeks) started out as a Christian singer? Because I did not. But thanks to Eric and his emailing prowess, I'm on the case! Beliefnet.com says…
You call her Katy Perry, we call her Katy Hudson, the singer who at the tender age of 16 released her self-titled debut album in the Christian marketplace.
You got it. Katy Perry, whose single "I Kissed A Girl" is tearing up the Billboard charts, got her start in the Christian industry.
The daughter of two conservative preachers, Katy Hudson signed with Red Hill Records and in 2001 released an album filled with Christian pop/rock radio-friendly songs. She even toured with Phil Joel.
Red Hill Records folded. Somewhere along the way changed her name to Katy Perry, whether to avoid confusion with actress Kate Hudson or to shed her Christian association, I don't know, but in 2004 she went on to become an in-house vocalist for the production team, The Matrix, whose credits include Avril Lavigne and Britney Spears.
Fascinating, yes? More to the point, look at that kick ass picture one of the readers sent in of her kissing Katy at the Warped Tour in St. Louis. Was there any doubt that the readers here are sexy? She actually sent it in last week but I’ve been staring at her breasts the whole time, selfishly not posting it. I’ve spent so many hours doing it now, I think were supposed to get married. I'm hoping for the spring.
This chick was in the Matrix?
Why is Nicole Richie kissing Klinger from MASH?
Going from Christian to MySpace bisexual is just marketing. Bi is the new black, kids…
And damn, Big Smelly - you've been first all week, what's up with that!?!?
I wondered what Julie Brown has been up too…
What do you suppose they plan on doing with the Chap Stick?
Did everyone know that the Warped Tour started out as a punk rock tour?
She's got a future as a Tami Fay Baker lookalike with all that stuff on her face.
My not listening to commercial radio and not having MTV means this whoever she has has been happily absent from my life until the last couple of days. Bye bye in two months Katy!!
Yeah - I'm shocked you didn't cover this a while ago. I knew Katy when she was a Christian artist. I assume she's a Christian still - a gay Christian but nevertheless a Christian! :) I kissed a girl too only I didn't like it. :)
The thing I like about Katie Perry is that she looks like a slutty Zooey Deschanel. If we could get her and Zooey to make out in a video, I might watch MTV for the first time in a decade. Or whatever channel they play music videos on now.
She looks like Amy Winohouse and that's not cool.
Wow, she even has the cherry Chapstick.
God bless us every one.
Ride Lo
Was there any doubt that the readers here are sexy?
Never, my friend. In fact, if we were to somehow get all of the Durdenites together in one room, the sheer volume of sexiness would make the genitals of everyone in a 5-mile radius spontaneously combust
Alright, which one of you is it? Who owns that pair of great tits?
They gotta keep those confessional-I-did-those-things songs coming. Up next: Coldplay - I took it up the ass
Oh yeah, and I would totally do both chicks pictured above
That bitch is annoying.
Next stop, One Hit Wonderland.
On the bright side, she has an almost endless supply of disgraced televangelests to choose as tour managers.
Who gives a shit? Jill Sobule did this song, better than this in 1996. And when Sobule said she kissed girls I actually believed it.
This chick here is like those gay-for-pay Russian singer girls.
That song is retarded and the retards can come after me for using the word retarded. I didn't realize in 2008 that a woman kissing another woman was still taboo. Its pop music writing 101 and it all sucks ass. And even the video lacks any quality to get me to care about some chick who's the daughter of a preacher or whatever Katy's history is. And wasn't this song done years ago with Fabio in the video with some lesbo looking chick singing I kissed a girl?
