Katy Perry Goes Pink & Retro For MTV EMAs 2011

Katy Perry was decked out in her finest cotton candy shades of clothing for the MTV EMAs 2011 at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast, Ireland on Sunday.

The “Fireworks” singer combined a pale pink studded leather jacket and printed pink mini by Jeremy Scott with her Strawberry Shortcake (yay 80s toys!) colored hair.

Perry’s jacket and hair style were right out of the 40s (hair and eyebrows) and 50s (jacket, bobby socks and saddle shoes) but the soft hue gave everything a more modern feel.

The 27 year-old was a presenter for the night and she took home a trophy for Best Live Act.

Blonde Katy Perry Gets Her Smurfette On (PHOTOS)

She’s blonde, she’s Smurfette and she’s proud of it.

Katy Perry walks the blue carpet of the premiere of her new movie The Smurfs, held in New York City at the Ziegfeld Theater on Sunday evening.

The 26 year-old singer is the voice of Smurfette in the movie and chose a very short sparkling and sequined dress with her blue character front and center. The white strapless dress showed off her fabulous legs and her blonde hair highlighted her pale skin.

Perry didn’t stop there with the blue-ness. Her blue eyeshadow and shoes, and a Smurf-themed manicure completed her zany, but totally Katy look for the night.

Perry will also have a role in The Muppets film, due at Thanksgiving.

The Smurfs opens July 29th in theaters.

Katy Perry Talks Record Sales, Boobs & Healthcare To Rolling Stone

Hershey Kisses get the Katy Perry costume treatment for her July cover of Rolling Stone.

The singer opens up about why she used to tape her breasts down, how she’s bothered by the U.S. healthcare crisis and criticism means nothing to her when she’s got her record sales:

On fame being more important to people: “I think we are largely in desperate need of revolutionary change in the way our mindset is. Our priority is fame, and people’s wellness is way low. I saw this knowing full well that I’m a part of the problem. I’m playing the game, though I am trying to reroute. Anyway, not to get all politically divulging and introspective, but the fact that America doesn’t have free health care drives me fucking absolutely crazy, and is so wrong.”

On getting her prayers answered: “I started praying for [breasts] when I was, like, 11,” she says. “And God answered that prayer above and beyond, by, like, 100 times, until I was like, ‘Please, stop, God. I can’t see my feet anymore. Please stop!’ I was a lot more rectangular then. I didn’t understand my body. Someone in sixth grade called me ‘Over-the-shoulder boulder holder.’ I didn’t know I could use them. So, what I did was, I started taping them down. How long did I tape them down for? Probably until I was about 19. And, no, I don’t have any psychological pain because of it.”

On critics can say what they like, she’s got sales on her side: “Whenever people ask me about having bad reviews, I’m like, ‘Have you seen the run I’ve had? Have you see the numbers?’” she says. “Numbers do not lie!”

Katy Perry’s issue is on sale June 24th.

WATCH: Katy Perry Goes 80s Geek Teen In ‘Last Friday Night(T.G.I.F.)’ Video

Getting her geek on, Katy Perry gives the 80s a go with her latest video “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” that hosts a slew of celebrity cameos.

Perry takes on her alter ego, Kathy Beth Terry, a headgear-sporting, glasses-wearing nerd who gets a make-over from Rebecca Black and lives her dream of popularity, if only for one house party night filled with neon, plastic cups, big hair and cameos galore.

Debbie Gibson, Corey Feldman, the Hanson brothers, Kenny G and Glee’s Darren Criss and Kevin McHale all give the classic John Hughes teen-angst film a wink and a smile.

Enjoy the video.

Katy Perry Covers Fashion Magazine

Katy Perry lands on the cover of Canada’s Fashion magazine for the Summer 2011 issue.

The singer shared her nervous feeling for her upcoming tour by relating a recurring dream she’s having.

“I don’t have part of my costume that I need,” she says cryptically, “so I feel exposed. And then sometimes I dream that I put on my guitar and I don’t know how to play anymore. It’s like I don’t know how to do anything!” The California-born pastor’s daughter lets out a nervous giggle, then sighs. “I’ve got a lot on my mind.”

The devil’s in the details, and the pastor’s daughter is relentless in her prep for the tour.

“I feel like I’m training for the Olympics,” she says. “Every day, I wake up, I eat a healthy breakfast, then I go work out, then I go to music rehearsal, then I go to dance rehearsal, then I come home and deal with the different details and emails concerning my tour, and then I go to sleep. So there’s a lot of self-control and building stamina.”

As serious as she is in her prep, she wants her fans to enjoy themselves and have a laugh – especially at her outrageous costuming.

“I just wake up and whatever mood I’m in, I like to emulate in my clothes,” she says. “Especially when I’m touring—I don’t get to meet and shake hands with every single person, but they get a vibe from the way I present myself. Usually, that’s in a fun, kind of hilarious manner, and people smile. I think that’s my job: to make people smile.”

Katy Perry’s Glam Cover For Vanity Fair

Katy Perry covers Vanity Fair for June 2011 and while the topics she discusses are pretty familiar fare with the songstress (boobs, Brand and bibles), she gives new insight into her upbringing.

Growing up with evangelical parents, Perry wasn’t allowed to use the word ‘devil’ to describe anything – deviled eggs or Dirt Devil vacuum cleaners included. Her mother only read stories from the bible to her, she was not allowed any secular music at all and Planned Parenthood was a very scary place.

“Growing up, seeing Planned Parenthood, it was considered like the abortion clinic,” she tells VF. “I was always scared I was going to get bombed when I was there…. I didn’t know it was more than that, that it was for women and their needs. I didn’t have insurance, so I went there and I learned about birth control.”

Despite how different she lives her life now, from how her parents envisioned it, she thinks that they have found some contentment with her success.

“I think sometimes when children grow up, their parents grow up,” Perry says of her evangelical-minister parents. “Mine grew up with me. We coexist. I don’t try to change them anymore, and I don’t think they try to change me. We agree to disagree. They’re excited about [my success]. They’re happy that things are going well for their three children and that they’re not on drugs. Or in prison.”

The 26 year-old is proud too and says she doesn’t spend time bogged down with naysayers.

“I don’t care what people say about my relationship; I don’t care what they say about my boobs. People are buying my songs; I have a sold-out tour. I’m getting incredible feedback from my music.”
