Katy Perry was lined up to be a guest on the 41st season of Sesame Street. In fact, she and Elmo filmed a music spot with a cleaned up version of ‘Hot N Cold.’ This video leaked onto the web, which I believe was more of PBS testing the waters. The backlash was too much for the children’s show and PBS pulled it.

Katy Perry is wearing a cleavage centered dress that parents found to be very offensive. After receiving all the complaints, PBS gave this statement to Us:
“Sesame Street has a long history of working with celebrities across all genres, including athletes, actors, musicians and artists. Sesame Street has always been written on two levels, for the child and adult. We use parodies and celebrity segments to interest adults in the show because we know that a child learns best when co-viewing with a parent or care-giver. We also value our viewer’s opinions and particularly those of parents. In light of the feedback we’ve received on the Katy Perry music video which was released on You Tube only, we have decided we will not air the segment on the television broadcast of Sesame Street, which is aimed at preschoolers. Katy Perry fans will still be able to view the video on You Tube.”
I think it’s absurd that Sesame Street asks Katy Perry onto the show and doesn’t lay out the ground rules or give her a costume. This is Katy Perry, haven’t they watched her videos? I would be hurt if I was Katy. But she took the rejection in stride Tweeting,
“I can totally tell you how to get to Sesame Street! I’ve been, Elmo & I hang out.”
Thank God SNL likes sexy, I’d be pissed if they decided Katy was too hot for the premiere this weekend!
