Katy Perry (born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson October 25, 1984) is an American singer, songwriter and actress. Born in Santa Barbara, California, and raised by Christian pastor parents, Perry grew up listening to only gospel music and sang in her local church as a child. Perry has German, Portuguese, Irish, and English ancestry. Katy changed her surname to Perry, her mother’s maiden name, because Katy Hudson was too close to film actress Kate Hudson. After earning a GED during her first year of high school, she later enrolled in at the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, and studied Italian opera for a short period of time, before she began to pursue a career in music. Perry married Russell Brand in October 2010, and separated from him in December 2011.
As Katy Hudson, she released a self-titled gospel album in 2001, which was unsuccessful. After signing with Capitol Music Group in 2007, her fourth record label in seven years, she adopted the stage name Katy Perry and released her first Internet single “Ur So Gay” that November, which received public attention but failed to chart. She rose to fame with the release of her second single “I Kissed a Girl” in 2008, which went on to top international charts. Perry’s first mainstream studio album One of the Boys followed later that year and subsequently became the 33rd-best selling album worldwide of 2008. Her third studio album Teenage Dream, released in August 2010, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 an earned six Grammy Award nominations, including the coveted Album of the Year and Record of the Year. The album produced five Hot 100 toppers, and was only the second album—after Michael Jackson’s Bad—to do so. As a result, Perry became the first artist to spend 52 consecutive weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. She spent a total of 69 consecutive weeks in the Top 10. In December 15, 2011, she was elected the Artist of the Year by MTV.
Perry is artistically involved in her projects, especially in the writing process. Since she could play guitar, she would start writing songs at home and present it to her producers. Perry is mostly inspired by specific moments of her life. She said it is easy for her to write songs about heartbreak. Perry’s mother reportedly told British tabloid Daily Mail that she dislikes her daughter’s music, calling it “shameful and disgusting”. Perry is known for her unconventional style of dress. It is often humorous, bright in color, and reminiscent of different decades, and she frequently uses fruit-shaped accessories, mainly watermelon, as part of her outfits. Perry is also a gay activist. According to Dosomething.org, Perry had stated “I am a gay activist and I say that proudly.”
According to Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems Perry was the most played artist on radio of 2011. Perry has released fragrances “Purr” and “Meow”. She voiced Smurfette in the 2011 film The Smurfs. As a child, Perry learned how to dance in a recreation building in Santa Barbara. She was taught by seasoned dancers and began with swing, Lindy Hop, and jitterbug. On March 10, 2008, she appeared as herself on the ABC Family television series, “Wildfire”, on the episode “Life’s Too Short”. On June 12, 2008, Perry appeared as herself on the daytime soap opera “The Young and the Restless”. – Wikipedia

Why we think she’s hot:
It’s quite enough with those gorgeous, huge blue eyes and vivid black, Vampirella hair, but we also love her sharp attitude and outspokenness. Her song lyrics often speak for themselves, but when they don’t, we especially dig comments like- ‘If people want a role model, they can have Miley Cyrus.’ And of course, there’s the ever popular question on everyone’s lips, ’Have I ever kissed a girl? Of course I have. I fancy Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman and Angelina Jolie- I’d definitely kiss them.’ For a former Christian Folk Singer, Katy Perry sure does have quite a few racy quotes under her belt. In fact, she has a not so dissimilar opinion in regards to The X Factor. “The most gorgeous judge is Cheryl Cole. That woman is just edible.” Sigh… we do indeed love a bad girl.
