Katy Perry graces the cover of the newest issue of Billboard magazine. She talked about her new single, resorting to scandalous stunts and her death wish.

Check out what she had to say:

On her first single off her new record: “I’m not saying, ‘Oh, my God! ‘California Gurls’ is a f—ing genius opus!’ I just know what kind of card this summer needs, and that’s the one I’m playing.”

On not having to resort to scandalous stunts to get attention: “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. I started at 23, you know?”

On the inspiration for “Fireworks”: “Basically I have this very morbid idea…when I pass, I want to be put into a firework and shot across the sky over the Santa Barbara Ocean as my last hurrah. I want to be a firework, both living and dead. My boyfriend showed me a paragraph out of Jack Kerouac’s book On the Road, about people that are buzzing and fizzing and full of life and never say a commonplace thing. They shoot across the sky like a firework and make people go, ‘Ahhh.’ I guess that making people go ‘ahhh’ is kind of like my motto.”

Isn’t she doing stunts, though? Shooting ice cream out of your boobs and appearing naked on a cotton candy cloud seems like stunts to me. What do you think?

Lady Gaga graces the cover of the newest issue of Billboard magazine, donning her purple locks and bow. She looks good but she looks Photoshopped to pieces.

I love her music, but the more that times goes on, the more she seems so manufactured. Especially because of her Kermit the Frog getup and that ugly Animal skirt thing that she was wearing. (continue reading…)
