Daily Rant

I honestly didn’t think a starlet could get on my nerves more than Kristen Stewart and her ‘I am so damn edgy’ attitude (Look me I’m an actress, who can’t act, and who doesn’t want media attention, but I’ll sign up to star in movie that has one of the biggest fan followings ever, and can you believe I have to act like fans are cool, and they are detracting from my ART) whatever.

But Katy Perry has managed to do it. And this how she did it:

WTF, Katy? W.T.F.

WTF, Katy? W.T.F.

I like Katy Perry, for the most part, but her blue hair isn’t changing the world. Lady Gaga is however. Love her or hate her, I have lived through the Madonna years, and I can tell you no one comes close to Madonna’s star power, except Lady Gaga. To stay in that limelight you have to always be out on the edge, ridiculously so. Lady Gaga is on the edge (and sometime she drives right over it in her Alexander McQueen shoes, but those are the perils of such a strategy).

Lady Gaga recently released a new video for Alejandro. It has religious imagery and Gaga  proceeds to sexualize and stomp all over that religious imagery. Which as you may or may not know, makes me happy. (Oh yeah, and free speech and all that, blah, blah, blah). But Katy Perry disagrees. To her it is the equivalent of a fart joke (I think she is dissing fart jokes, which is weird considering who she is engaged to and, also, I STILL think fart jokes are funny).

See?! Fart Jokes are STILL funny. Admit it, you laughed.

I guess we could expect it from Ms. Perry since she comes from a fundamentalist background.

BUT, BUT! Ms. Perry, get real, your breakout song was about kissing a girl. Which is hot, no mistake, but not my point. What IS my point, you ask?

NO ONE IS TAKING RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION FROM YOU, KATY PERRY

    Katy Perry is my pet peeve. All she does is take out of date concepts, sing about them, make a 'Can you believe I just said that?' face, and then star in a pro-activ commercial. I can't even comment on her tweet because I just think she is beyond annoying.

    Katy, Katy, Katy. You disappoint me. WHO among us doesnt like a good fart joke?? She is engaged to Russel Brand for the love of flatulence and has a thing against fart jokes? I am shaking my head in disapproval.

    From now on we should say “I fart in Katy Perry's general direction”

  • amydpp

    I like Katy Perry, I think she has real talent wrapped up in all that silliness, but now, I'm just like REALLY? But I can see how it would be more annoying if you found her annoying. How many times can I use the word annoying in this comment?

    Not in her defense, but Katy Perry's dad is a preacher – so she has to act this way. Same as how the Simpson girls have to act all religious 'cos of their daddy.

    What a maroon. Everyone knows that farts are the “universal” humor. Everywhere you go, young and old, people find farts funny.

    I hope Katy Perry rips a big one next time she's onstage accepting an award.

  • amydpp

    You know, she probably will, and then make that face that another ready commented on. And then all my nerves will explode and die.

  • amydpp

    Mere mention of the Simpson girls make me want to live in a cave somewhere. But I did know here dad was preacher and I kinda expected this sort of thing from her at some point. But for her to try to take down fart jokes with her is just sad. :)

    I like Russel Brand so I was giving her a pass just on principle. Maybe she only likes fart jokes when they are told in a sexy accent?

  • amydpp

    Well, what isn't better in an accent? Seen on t-shirt “Is that an accent I hear? Excuse me while I take off my clothes”. I think we both see the truth in that.
