Katy Perry is still around. Is anyone else with me in the desire that one day we’ll wake up and everyone will have united in deciding that Katy is irrelevant and pretty talentless? That day shall come, and it shall be glorious. Anyway, Katy just released several promotional photos from her new album, Teenage Dream. Unfortunately, these aren’t super-cool paintings of a naked Katy on a cloud. No, in these images, Katy shows off her talents in a rubber bikini, of course. Ugh. I hate to admit it (really hate it) but the rubber bikini top is kind of cool. It’s very mod.
By the way, her new single and video is out for “Teenage Dream”. It’s rather… unimaginative. Like, this is the girl who is engaged to Russell Brand, so you know she’s a kinky bitch to keep him interested. So why do a video that’s like a budget J. Crew catalog, complete with Mr. Bland McOrdinary as your boyfriend? Damn, the embed function is disabled. Whatever, it’s a stupid song. If you want to see the dumb video, go here.
Also: Katy made fun of Miley Cyrus in a recent MTV interview. She was talking about her style and her new album, and she said: “I’m not coming out trying to prove anything to anyone, like, ‘Oh, I’m in assless chaps!’ or ‘I can’t be tamed!’ … I’ve already been through that phase!” Haha Miley is more successful than you, Katy. Just the fact that Katy is taking a swipe at Miley is making me more Team Miley.

she gives good face.
other than that…zzz.
At least she writes her own songs.
For some reason this is making me think of my child hood of the 80s….weird… i think i like all of the colors and textures. very rainbow bright and ann frank.
I don’t know if that’s your plan Kaiser, but the more people complain about her the more I like her!
Actually I’m on Team Katy. She’s always been the same type of entertainer (a bit average and plastic,yes), whereas Miley made millions off of tweens…and, now that she’s of age has gone hog-wild to the point of making an as* out of herself trying to distance herself from those very tweens who made her those millions. The jury is out on how Miley will do in her new target market…the teen crowd, in my opinion, will be a lot more critical and go for someone with more flair and talent…not the former Hannah Montana. BTW, who has made more cash doesn’t necessarily denote who is the better artist.
Miley deserves those swipes, Katy!
I like her. she’s a bit of the wall but she’s harmless. Miley is still a role model for thousands of young girls whether sh wants to e or not, and her antics are harming those kids. Katy’s are not.
Besides, I love how well she can rock vintage inspired looked. she’s hot.
I am waiting for the day both she and Kesha are gone.
I’m with grrrlgrace. She doesn’t bother me, wears strange, colorful clothes and talks crap about other artists. That’s entertainment! The hypocrisy of the Cyrus knows no bounds…
aenflex: haha she doesn’t write her own songs! I hope that was sarcastic. Her “I kissed a girl” song was written by Britney spears male songwriter. The same one who wrote “Hit me baby”, and some others. I’m pretty sure California girls was written by someone else. I remember her saying in an interview, that it was a great song and she was happy to get it or something like that.
EMV, I hope you mean Lisa Frank.
@ FRankly and EMV
LOL!!
Lisa Frank it is. My kids have those cutesy colorful stickers.
@aenflex – i don’t think that’s an entirely accurate statement. most every song that she’s put her name on also has at least 3 other names (check the wiki page on the track listeing of her new album), often these are people who are hired as a songwriting team (ie i kissed a girl, waking up in vegas, california gurls). i don’t give her credit for ‘writing’ a song, because save for a few lines, i dont think she’s that creatively involved in the lyrics OR the melody. it’s true when her christian album came out she was the sole writer on a lot of the songs…but how successful was that? you can write your own songs, doesn’t mean they are any good.
@grrrlgrace – “she’s always been the same type of entertainer”. this also, is not entirely accurate. she released a christian album in 2001. CHRISTIAN ALBUM. any one else getting a jessica ‘i couldn’t hide my boobs so i left christian music for pop music so i could put my boobs on display’ simpson vibe?
i find katy perry boring and her voice live is like a banshee. yes she has a good body, but with a combo of genetics, ample time to work out and tons of health/fitness trainers, i could probably look hot too.
that being said i’m probably just jealous cause i know i could out sing that hack any day. le sigh.
Frankly, are you saying you haven’t read the critically acclaimed bestselling sequel to Anne Frank’s diary? The one with the time machine, Duran Duran and that hilarious moment where she ran into Mel Gibson, panicked and climbed into a cupboard?
IMO, Katy doesn’t bother me either way. I loved the song she did with 3OH!3 but I’ve been a fan of theirs for a while now. LOVE the photoset though, gorgeous colours and styling. Also: good grief I wish I had a body like that.
I wasn’t a huge fan of her stuff before, but she’s grown on me. Absolutely gorgeous girl and her music is fun.
@Kelly-I was not aware of the Christian album! Wow…thanks…you learn something new every day.
HOWEVER, I do think that it’s safe to say that she wasn’t an ESTABLISHED Christian musician with a huge following; as the average person does not know that piece of information about Katy Perry. One does not conjure the image of her holding a bible and singing verse…they think about “I KISSED A GIRL”. In other words, she’s not like Miley who was insanely popular with a specific crowd (tweens), made millions, and quickly implemented a drastic change simply because she could.Katy, on the other hand, was probably just happy to lay some tracks and was trying to find herself…big difference.
Either way, I still think Miley deserved the swipe. My little ones are a bit suspicious why they can’t listen to Miley’s new songs. I’d hate to tell them that the songs are too “grown up” and that Miley could give a rats as* that they can’t listen to her anymore. But I’m sure she’s just soooooo appreciative of all the money we’ve spent on Hannah Montana crap over the years…yeah, right!
Swipe away, Katy!
Kaiser, I disagree with you this time… I like her, I REALLY like her. I don’t know why, but her music makes me smile, I think she’s really beautiful and I LOVE her style, so… TEAM KATY.
BTW, LOOOVE the photos.
I love Katy Perry!
I hate her music but I actually like her. Saw her on Graham Norton, she seemed pretty likable. I’d rather have to look at her than Miley Cirus ANY day.
Never thought id say this..Team Miley..(that was hard) Katy better go away soon. What a hypocrite.
She should of just painted the bikini on her body because that’s pretty much what it looks like.
wow, i never knew that just reading someone trashing miley would spur me to be Team Miley but i just cannot stand katy perry!
is this the apocalypse everyone keeps talking about???
anyone knows whos the guy in the video?
he´s hot
i don´t care about the girl, sorry
I doubt she writes her own songs. If she does she shouldnt admit it because they are awful & just repeat the same 5 lines over and over and over and over. She really is talentless and a MAJOR hypocrite who started as a Christian singer before she sold her soul to be “infamous.”
If she was trying to look plastic, then I guess she succeeded.
Agreed…Katy Perry go away. What is she even trying to say with that statement? She’s outgrown being in that can’t be tamed phase and has graduated to singing about daisy dukes & popsicles…weren’t Mandy Moore & Jessica Simpson doing that when they were teenagers?
Team Katy
this “Team” stuff annoys the piss right out of me. Can’t stand Katy Perry or Miley Cyrus. TEAM LIANA!!!
Team Liana all the way!
Katy Perry is dumb – she can wear donuts on her breasts in a video, and shoot whip cream at snoop dog out of cans attached to, well, her cans – but she has the nerve to bitch about Gaga and her Alejandro video. Get a life.
Maybe she will move to England and never come back.
I would hope that a person who is about a decade older than another person would have formed a more sophisticated worldview in the intervening years. If not, that’s a problem. Why compare yourself to a kid when you’re an adult? What does that say?

Nothing says “arrested development” more!
I also can’t wait for the day this talentless hypocrite is no longer considered relevant. Maybe she can fade into Obscurity Island with Kesha, and they can sing-talk to each other in the magical land of fairy floss and glitter that never comes near normal people.
can we say yeast infection?
this cuntress katy is desperately riding this whole facade of a rainbow brite bettie page…i cant stand this twat!!
I almost hate myself for typing katy and Ms Page in the same sentence, but her whole aesthetic of a neon, “lisa frank” mantra makes me want to punch babies!
It’s funny, I used to dislike her but the more time passes, I actually think she’s pretty entertaining. Kinda developing a soft spot for her!
What is there to like?
Her fabulous singing voice?
Incredible ability to write so many clever songs of such lasting value?
The inimitable manner in which she stands still while a team of expert stylists spend 5 hours applying a bunch of other people’s ideas and expertise?
Is it her matchless intellect?
Impeccable taste in men?
The pathetically, nay, embarrassingly hypocritical stance on religion etc etc?
I can actually roll my eyes in different directions at once, and Im doing that right now. It hurts a little bit, but that’s just how I feel.
She has talent, whether she uses it or not: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJSS0VDS0ko&feature=related and (my fav) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1A5LKc5kTbc&feature=related
You should watch. Then you will REALLY appreciate what a shame this bitch’s career is.
@Kelly, I can do that too, and it does hurt after a while! But I think Katy’s worth it!
I just love her body! she’s b’ful even tho’ i care two hoots about her!
No doubt she’s beautiful, but I’m so sick of her.
I can’t stand this bitch. Yah, she writes her own songs– about SUCKING COCK IN CALIFORNIA. Now that is classy. She preaches about how Lady Gaga shouldn’t use religious imagery in her videos, yet she’s dressed in a fetish bikini?? She’s a trashy bitch.
LOL I meant LISA not ANN WOW am I out of it!!!
Thank you, Angie… those were great. Of course she’s talented, she’s had alot more top 10 songs than I Kissed a Girl and California Gurls.
Eh – both girls are talentless. Although….I’m pretty sure Katy Perry actually has a voice when she doesn’t hide it and actually tries. See her old song “Mannequin” and judge for yourself.
But Miley is a talentless, immature, bratty, entitled try-hard that needs to drop off the face of the planet. Katy Perry is at least consistent with her typically shallow antics. And she’s got a theme – she clearly prefers to be more of a visual performer and emphasize that instead of what I believe is a genuine singing voice.
