Katy Perry Takes Vow of Celibacy

Katy Perry told TV Guide that she has taken a vow of celibacy for the year. If only we could get her to make a vow that she won’t record any music or perform ever again.

After Katy Perry’s much-publicized breakup with Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy, the “I Kissed a Girl” singer has decided that these days, she’s not going to be kissing anybody — well, with one notable exception.

“I’ve actually taken a vow of celibacy this year,” the Grammy nominee told the new issue of TV Guide, according to Us Weekly. ” No kissing anyone. Just my cat: Kitty Purry.”

Ugh. She has a cat named Kitty Purry? I hate this bitch even MORE than I did, if thats possible. How full of yourself do you have to be to name your cat after you? And wait a minute….GRAMMY NOMINEE??? How’d she get nominated for a Grammy without me finding out and inevitably bitching about it on this blog? I guess I didn’t read the nomination list carefully enough. But according to this article from People, “I Kissed a Girl” was nominated for Female Vocal Performance of the Year. The Gammy’s have officially become irrelevant.

UPDATE: As usual, Katy has retracted her previous statement saying it was a joke and “any fine journalist would have got that”. OK Katy, we know you think you are a comedian, but its obvious at this point that journalists (and Lily Allen) don’t quite seem to get your brand of humor. So knock it off.



Katy Perry throws herself a pity party

This week MTV News continues their tradition of being utterly useless by trying to interview Katy Perry about how she was feeling about her recent breakup with Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy.

Last week when MTV News caught up with Katy Perry on the red carpet at the Critics’ Choice Awards, she spoke about her recent split with boyfriend Travis McCoy. Sort of.

It would be more accurate to say that she sidestepped our question about McCoy, answering with a polite — if not a little curt — plug for her upcoming Hello Katy Tour, before being whisked away by a rather annoyed-looking publicist.

I am guessing her publicist was annoyed because people keep asking Katy questions about her more talented ex-boyfriend than about whatever the fuck it is she’s doing. I suppose that would annoy me too if I were her.

Perry, who was battling the flu during her Hotel Cafe set, reportedly laughed and joked with her friends, who were seated in front of the stage. And later, on her blog, she continued with the “getting over it” vibe, writing, “So, my post tonight started very melancholy. The usual. Mostly just a pity party I suppose. We all throw them … no one ever comes though, especially [to] mine.”

“I have the wonderful world at my fingertips,” she continued. “And nothing has made me smile much in the past couple days besides TheDailyKitten.com.”

Oh boo-hoo, Katy. Your pathetic attempt at Wentz-style emo wittiness is lost on me. And the fact that you go to websites like The DailyKitten.com makes me hate you even more than I already do (which I thought wasn’t possible). You probably like that LOLcats shit too. You make me sick, Katy.



Travis McCoy just made the best decision of his life

I’d like to think that Travis McCoy came across my blog somehow, saw the post about he and Katy Perry allegedly getting engaged and started to seriously re-think his life. But, in reality he probably just figured out on his own that Katy’s a dumb bitch. In any case, from the looks of Travis’ blog, it’s splitsville for these two.

We fight every night, now that’s not kosher. I reminisce with bliss of when we was closer. And wake up to be greeted by an argument again, You act like you’re ten…My friends always tell me how I’m lucky to possess the best looking girl in the whole U.S.,” the blog continued, “…it seems like just two years back when we were bonded and not pierced, but now I keep itchin’ to jet.

Surprise surprise, Katy Perry acts like a ten year old. Who knew? And who the hell told Travis that Katy was “the best looking girl in the whole U.S.”? What shitty friends he has that they would lie to him like that. Everyone knows its Megan Fox.



Bye Bye 2008!

DJ Earworm created a mashup of all the popular songs from 2008. So you know what that means, most of these songs are gonna suck. But, the work that went into creating this mashup is pretty impressive. Everyone have a happy and safe New Year!



Travis McCoy just made the biggest mistake of his life

The word is Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy proposed to long-time girlfriend and massive tool Katy Perry in Paris recently.

Katy Perry’s girl-kissing days are over. We can confirm the singer’s worst-kept secret —her engagement to Gym Class Heroes front man Travis McCoy. After giving her a yellow diamond promise ring this summer, the rapper popped the question recently in Paris by kissing Perry with a massive ring in his mouth. How romantic … and unsanitary.

Uh, gross? I’m not talking about the ring in the mouth (although that is rather disgusting), I’m referring to the fact that Travis wants to spend the rest of his life with Katy Perry. Its a great career move for her though. Because when Capitol Records inevitably drops her ass in a couple of years at least she’ll be married to someone who knows a dude that owns a record label.

UPDATE: Katy Perry shot down rumors that she and Travis McCoy were engaged via her blog. Thank God. I knew Travis couldn’t have been that stupid.



Katy Perry’s a Bitch (told ya so!)

Mega Bitch

Katy Perry: Mega Bitch

Well THAT didn’t take very long. So I guess earlier this year Katy Perry was being interviewed and when asked to describe herself, said she was a “fatter version of Amy Winehouse” and a “skinnier version of Lily Allen.” Obviously, Lily Allen didn’t take too kindly to this remark and blasted Perry on Capital FM on Monday by calling her lyrics “crass”, criticizing her for not writing her own songs and saying that Perry was only signed to her label as an “American version of her.” When Perry was asked about this on a Fuse interview she immediately apologized and said, “I was just kind of joking and trying to be funny. I didn’t mean anything by it. Comedians are not necessarily to be taken super seriously.”

Yeah, except you’re NOT a comedian, Katy. You’re a Christian rock singer turned mediocre pop singer who doesn’t even write any of her own material. And I don’t know who you think you’re fooling by pretending to play a guitar on stage…we all know you couldn’t play guitar to save your life.

So, as promised, here is why I thought Katy Perry was a bitch before I heard about all this: I was on the first 3 weeks of Warped Tour this summer with my band and our record label. We were basically just selling CDs everyday. We were in Dallas and it was the end of the day for us and we were packing up our tent and loading stuff into our van. I was carrying a lot of heavy stuff with one of the other guys and as we approached the gate I noticed that it wasn’t open very far and that Katy Perry was sitting in the middle of the opening on a pink bicycle talking to someone who was there with the tour. I foolishly assume that by the time we get up to the gate Ms. Perry will have seen us carrying all of this heavy equipment and will back up a couple of inches so we can get through. Well, she sees alright. She glances over at us a couple of times even, but doesn’t move. Finally, after about a full minute of us just STANDING there staring at her dumb face, she finishes her conversation (which I’m sure was incredibly important) and moves out of the way. No apology for how long she took to get out of the way. Nothing. She actually kind of looked put out by the fact that we had to get through. I was blown away by how inconsiderate she was.

Katy Perry shouldn’t have even been on that tour. In the entire three week span, I can’t remember a single person telling me they were there to see Katy Perry. I would imagine she was only there to make sure boyfriend Travis McCoy (Gym Class Heroes) kept his “hands out the cookie jar” all summer.



10 Worst Pop Songs of 2008

There has been a severe lack of musicians doing stupid things for me to make fun of, so I decided to start my 2008 Top 10 lists beginning with….drum roll please…The 10 WORST Songs of 2008. I tried organizing these by level of the degree of hatred, but it was just too hard. These songs are all equally awful:

10 . “Love Song” by Sara Bareilles – If you managed to avoid hearing this song this year, I am VERY surprised. Especially those incessant Rhapsody commercials. Not that I would ever consider using Rhapsody anyways, but this TV ad basically ensured that I will never even consider using their services. She’s just the latest female piano-playing singer-songwriter who will no doubt fade away like Vanessa Carlton. At least we can all hope.

9. “Paralyzer” by Finger Eleven - To be honest I can’t remember EXACTLY what this song sounds like. I think I only heard it once on one of my few occasions where the radio was all I had available to listen to. I remember groaning and thinking, “this must be Finger Eleven or some other terrible band along those lines”. Sure enough, the dude-bro DJ confirmed my suspicions by identifying the artist as Finger Eleven. I had no idea this band was even still making music, let alone that enough people cared for them to play it on the radio.

8. “Sorry” by Buckcherry – Again, I can’t remember exactly how this song goes, but I’m sure I’ve heard it and I’m sure it sucked. This is the kind of band you hear being blasted from about 15 different over-sized pick-up trucks at a NASCAR tailgate party. Not that I would ever be caught dead near one of those things, I just assume.

7. “Shake It” by Metro Station - Ok, so the first time I had ever heard this song was when I saw the video for it on Fuse one day. I had heard the band’s name mentioned a lot and the band I was currently in was even compared to them in a review of our record. Boy was I furious at that reviewer after the video was over. But I was even more furious over the fact that there was clearly a full band playing in the video (two guitars, bass, synth, drums and vocals) yet all I heard the whole song was a sequenced drum beat, synth sounds and auto-tuned vocals. And to top it all off, the song itself was annoying as all hell.

6. “When I Grow Up” by Pussycat Dolls – This song is just plain irritating. In fact, I don’t think there is a single song that this female version of Menudo has put out that I HAVEN’T found irritating. Please go back to being a burlesque troupe and STOP singing….or pretending to sing….or whatever it is you call that.

5. “Gotta Be Somebody” by Nickelback – I don’t really need to tell you why this song sucks, the artist name should already make it abundantly clear. It boggles my mind that enough people listen to this crap to make their last album go 7x platinum in the U.S.. That’s right, at least 7 million people in this country have horrible taste in music.

4. “Womanizer” by Britney Spears – This song makes me want to take my own life. I’ll watch the video on mute though because she’s pretty much naked in some parts of it and they somehow managed to make her look hot again. The Britney phenomenon just fascinates me, because no matter how much of a white trash trainwreck she (and her family) make themselves look like, she still sells tons of records, plays huge sold out shows and wins awards. IT’S BRITNEY, BITCH!

3. “Burnin‘ Up” by Jonas Brothers – These guys sound like a shitty version of the All-American Rejects. As if this song wasn’t lame enough to begin with, the Jonas boys had their bodyguard, Robert “Big Rob” Feegans, make a guest appearance rapping on the track. Hey guys, next time you wanna try roping in some of the hip hop crowd, why don’t you have someone that said hip hop crowd actually wants to hear make a guest appearance. In fact, I’m hearing its going to mandated that if you release an album in 2009, Lil’ Wayne HAS to appear on at least one track. So there you go.

2. “7 Things” by Miley Cyrus – Miley Cyrus is Britney Spears Part Two: Electric Boogaloo. The girl is 16 and she’s dating guys in their 20s. I actually predict Miley will be even worse than Britney since she was forced into stardom at an even younger age.

1.  “I Kissed a Girl” by Katy Perry – I know I said at the beginning that these weren’t ranked in order of how much I hated them, but I lied. This one is definitely at #1 for a reason. First off, this girl is a straight up bitch. And I’m not just saying that to say it, she really is. I have a story from being on Warped Tour this summer to back this statement up, but in all honesty I don’t feel like typing it all. I shall save it for another time that I am pissed off about something related to Katy Perry. The other reason this song is #1 is because of this singer’s past. Well, not so much because of her past, but the fact that she probably hoped it would never come out because it would ruin her “bad girl” image. Katy Perry used to be a Christian rock singer. She released an album in 2001 under her real name, Katy Hudson. How does someone go from being a Christian singer to singing songs about kissing girls unless all they care about is what makes them the most money? Bottom line: Katy Perry is a money-grubbing whore.
