About two weeks ago we heard the news that Katy Perry’s mom is shopping a book that reportedly gives her take on Katy’s rise to fame. Katy’s mom and dad are freelance pentecostal preachers. Advance details of the book at the time had Katy’s mom “disagreeing” with “a lot of choices [Katy] makes in her career.” I’ve heard that Katy bought her mom a facelift, and I’ve seen photos of Katy’s parents posing with her on the red carpet at the Get Him To The Greek premiere. They certainly don’t come across like typical ministers, and it seems hypocritical of Katy’s mom to shop a tell all on one hand and enjoy the perks of her daughter’s fame on the other.

Well now we have some more excerpts from the book proposal, and it sounds even worse. Katy’s mom, Mary Perry Hudson, describes how she was shocked to see Katy’s boobs hanging out in a dress. She also explains her mixed feelings about Katy’s first hit “I Kissed a Girl.” Mary felt conflicted in that she was elated by Katy’s success on one hand and scandalized by the content of her music on the other.

Teenage Dream” is a middle-aged nightmare for her evangelistic mom — who complains in a book proposal that, “no mother wants to see the top of her daughter’s boobs.”

As we reported last week, preacher Mary Perry Hudson has been shopping a proposal on how her daughter’s racy lyrics, “foul-mouthed fiancé” — now husband Russell Brand — and suggestive outfits have affected her Christian ministry.

In the full proposal obtained by Page Six, she describes her horror at Katy’s outfits: Backstage at a concert, “Katy stepped out from behind the changing doors in a tiny risqué costume. No mother wants to see the top of her daughter’s boobs . . . My first instinct was to order her back behind those doors and demand she put something else on . . . However, I had no problem letting my eyebrows say what I wouldn’t allow my mouth to utter.”

“I recognized the psalmist gift in her performance. Yet she sang out, ‘I kissed a girl, and I liked it,’ while thousands joined her. One part of my heart soared . . . the other part broke for the thousands of hungry souls being fed something that didn’t nourish their spirit, but fed their flesh.”

Mary compares her mother-daughter relationship to the conflicts between Billy Ray Cyrus and Miley Cyrus, and Jon Voight and Angelina Jolie, “whose children have risen to fame and live contrary to their parents’ beliefs.”

Mary also frets, “Oh, dear God, how can I save her from all this? The money, the fame, the network, the people surrounding her, how can I compete?”

She also sets out: “This memoir is . . . not Christian proselytizing or a Katy Perry tell-all.” But in a note about target markets, she writes, “Fans of Katy Perry and Russell Brand will flock to the bookstores to snatch up a copy . . . either through curiosity or obsession, to get a glimpse of their stars through Mary’s eyes.” A rep for Perry didn’t get back to us.

On some level I get it, you can’t control what you kids do and when they veer pretty far from your beliefs (whatever they are, it’s not like I share this lady’s sentiments at all) it can be hard to take. They’re you kids, though, and you need to take it up with them, not the public. Airing family dirty laundry to make a buck is in no way a Christian value.

Also – how is it that big a deal to see your adult kids’ boobs? I don’t get the shock and awe over some damn cleavage. It’s incredibly closed-minded to say “No mother wants to see the top of her daughter’s boobs” as if everyone in the world has the kind of irrational fear of the human body that she does.

Mary was quoted a couple of years ago as saying a about Katy’s “I Kissed a Girl” song that “she knows we disagree strongly with what she is doing and the message she is promoting regarding homosexuality which the Bible clearly states is a sin.” (To be fair, those quotes were in the Daily Mail and could have been fabricated.) As so many of you pointed out in the comments, the Bible is full of conflicting information that people use to tray and further whatever agenda they have. I’m sure she can come up with a few quotes that help her justify selling out her daughter in order to make some cash and get a taste of fame on her own. She’s just doing it to spread the word of God, right?
