Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (born October 25, 1984), better known by her stage name Katy Perry, is an American pop musician. 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. After earning a GED during her freshman year of high school, she began to pursue a career in music. As Katy Hudson, she released a self-titled gospel album in 2001, which due to the closing of her record label, was deemed unsuccessful. She later recorded an album with production team The Matrix and completed the majority of a solo album from 2004–5; neither of which were released.

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 garnered 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 thirty-third best selling album worldwide of 2008.It was accredited platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America, while "I Kissed a Girl" and her second single "Hot n Cold" both received multi-platinum certifications. Her sophomore studio album Teenage Dream was released in August 2010 and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. The album included hit singles "California Gurls", "Teenage Dream" and "Firework", all of which topped the charts on the Billboard Hot 100.

Perry was credited as a guest judge on the seventh series of British television show The X Factor; has released a fragrance called "Purr"; and will appear in the upcoming 2011 film The Smurfs. Perry had a long relationship with Travie McCoy; she married Russell Brand on October 23, 2010

Katy Perry Says She Wrote 'California Gurls' Out Of Jealousy

"California Gurls" came out of a very simple place: as a response to Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' massive hit "Empire State of Mind." While "Empire" was incredibly New York, with a sweeping chorus and plenty of Big Apple references, Perry's ode to her home state was glossy and shiny and featured Cali MC Snoop Dogg.

Perry said the song is just what California needed. "[California girls] are different," she said about Teenage Dream's debut single. "That's why there needed to be a song about them. I felt like there's something in the water. Like, you know the boys always dream about maybe dating a California girl, just because we've got the sun shining through 365 days a year."

According to the song, Cali not only has the sun, it also has palm trees, sun-kissed skin and girls so hot they will well melt your Popsicle. That is pretty scalding! Perry's intent was to conjure up sexy images about her beloved state.

"When I came up with the idea of 'California Gurls,' it was because I was a little bit jealous of all the love that was given to the East Coast, and I thought for sure Tupac was rolling in his grave, and the Beach Boys, Brian Wilson was totally upset ... like, 'What is up with that?' " she said.

Perry took it upon herself to do them proud. "I thought it would be perfect timing for a California anthem, and especially one from a female perspective, because there's never really ever been a female perspective about California," she said. "And everyone wondered about our little state."

Don't get Perry wrong: She means no disrespect to her East Coast counterparts. "I love New York girls," she clarified. "I think they're hot, and I think they have a lot of attitude, but I'm telling you: When it comes wintertime, they're all gonna be singing 'California Gurls.' "

The title song from teen

Katy Perry Had To Escape L.A. To Write 'Teenage Dream'

Katy Perry decided to embrace her inner teenage girl when she sat down to write the title track from her forthcoming Teenage Dream album, out Tuesday. And she felt the only place she could get in touch with those warm, fuzzy feelings was her hometown of Santa Barbara, California.

The song, which she co-wrote with and was produced by Dr. Luke, Max Martin and Benny Blanco, recalls a simpler time when love felt like the first time. "Well, going to Santa Barbara, which isn't very far from L.A., it was just like it brought me back home and it took me out of this fast-paced L.A.," she told MTV News. "Everybody climbing on top of each other to get to that next step on the ladder ... sometimes L.A. can get exhausting."

In fact, it was that song that dictated how the entire album would play out. "I wanted to call it Teenage Dream because, really, there's a song on the record ... I wrote that song in Santa Barbara and it was a really pure moment for me because that's where I'm from. And it was where I started my creative juices, and it kind of exudes this euphoric feeling like everyone remembers what their teenage dreams were," she said. "All the girls that were on your poster walls ... and I want to continue to be one of those ... teenage wet dreams."

The track, however, wasn't all that easy to get right. "I'm in the studio fighting with them to change the melody, or I'm fighting for the best lyric at all times," she told Billboard earlier this year. "I think we rewrote 'Teenage Dream' five times for 10 days straight. On the last day, I was so happy to finally get somewhere that we all agreed on."

Perry said that there is a bottom line to the euphoria of the track. "That song is kind of like feeling that way when you were a teenager: really emotional, really invested. ... It's intense being in love and being a teenager. That's what 'Teenage Dream' is about."

Crashes

Katy Perry Crashes Australian Prom

Katy Perry loves a good party. Who could forget her celeb-filled, Willy Wonka-themed birthday party last October? So, when Perry came across students celebrating their prom during a recent trip to Australia, the "California Gurls" singer decided to embrace her inner teenage dream and crash their party.

According to Radar Online, Perry got her groove on at the Melbourne High School formal at the Grand Hyatt on Friday night. It happened to be the same hotel that Perry was staying at during her time Down Under. One student, Stefan Uzelac, told the website that Perry made her way into the party when she heard "California Gurls" playing, grabbed a microphone and started singing along.

"It was towards the end of the night and everyone was having a good time," Uzelac said. "Then Katy Perry decides to walk in and crash our formal!"

"She appeared slightly drunk and was stumbling a little," another student added about the 10 minutes that Perry spent at the party. "As she grabbed the microphone, she was surrounded by highly excited students and began singing along with the soundtrack. She was dancing and laughing with students until the end of the song when she was subtly whisked away by her security guards. Everyone went nuts and it was the perfect ending to our evening."

In a photo posted on Radar, Perry is seen wearing a black-and-white top and singing into a microphone surrounded by the prom revelers. Aceshowbiz.com reported that Perry also danced and sang along to Beyoncé's "Single Ladies." ''Someone came over to me and said Katy Perry had heard about our formal, and wanted to come," student council president Anthony Lay explained. "But she's a celebrity and there were more than 550 students in the room, so another person, a woman, said it would be too dangerous."

Perry later tweeted about the night, writing, "I totes just crashed a prom!!!" The pop star moved on to Tokyo, where she has yet to crash any proms, but has been busy eating at themed restaurants and getting dressed up like Harajuku girls.

Inappropriate

Katy Perry Says Her Mom Sends Russell Brand 'Inappropriate' E-Mails

Katy Perry doesn't mind being inappropriate with her fiancé, Russell Brand. But as it turns out, that's a trait that runs in the Perry household. Her mom also likes to get a bit inappropriate with the comedian. For her part, Perry isn't sure how much she likes it.

"They really didn't know about him. They give people the benefit of the doubt and it's up to the person to mess it up," UsWeekly.com reports she told Glamour UK of her parents.

Eventually they did warm up to him, perhaps a bit too much for her liking. "He's very charming with them and he has an ongoing on e-mail love with my mom and she loves it," the "Teenage Dream" singer explained. "She flirts with him, which is totally inappropriate, and I tell him to stop."

Aside from all the banter Brand and Mama Perry share, it seems that the pop star is fully aware that life for her will be very different once she ties the knot. And while it'll take some adjustment, she's looking forward to it. "I won't be able to get drunk all the time, but I don't want to. I won't be able to waste hours on the Internet, but I don't need to," she said. "I have to be precious with my time because I need time with myself and I want time with him. It's just about balance."

A big change for the singer will occur when she and Brand decide to expand their family. But that won't happen for a while. "Babies in a few years, perhaps," she said. "If you see a bump, it's just water retention!"

When it happens, though, Perry notes that she has found the perfect guy to have babies with. "We are excited to get married, of course. And I think, in marriage, when you're picking a partner, one of the things to keep in mind is 'Will he be a good baby daddy?' And he'll be perfect," Perry said in a recent video chat.

Teenage Dream

Katy Perry's 'Teenage Dream'

You've got to hand it to Katy Perry: She's really hitting on all cylinders these days. "California Gurls," the first single from her album Teenage Dream, was the official anthem of the first half of summer, a fun and flirty song that probably served as the soundtrack to your various beachfront flings. And now, she's back with the album's title track — and second single — which will undoubtedly serve as the soundtrack to one of those flings blossoming. She's got you covered every step of the way ... it's sorta brilliant, really.

Both "Teenage Dream" and its accompanying video are about falling madly in love, about losing your inhibitions and getting jelly-kneed by the mere thought of being near that certain someone. Sure, you may have snogged your fair share of guys or gals down the shore this summer (that's what "California Gurls" was for), but now you've found the one that makes you feel all giddy inside, and you're ready to let your guard down and go head-over-heels. "Dream" is all those gooey feelings turned into a pop song.

The video was directed by Yoann Lemoine, who fills it with gauzy, sunset-tinged scenery: a beach in the waning light, the rapidly darkening hills of California, the incandescent glow of a pool in the early evening. Much like the song itself, the entire clip feels like a whooshing, love-drunk dream. Perry frolics with a frequently shirtless hunk (actor Josh Kloss) and is giddy throughout. She brings her friends (including L.A. socialites Ana Calderon and DJ Skeet Skeet) along to share in the merriment, and they throw impromptu dance parties all over Southern California.

It all possesses an unwound, unabashed glee — the kind of bliss that only comes when you first fall in love, when everything seems to be taken from a movie (or, in this case, an Abercrombie & Fitch billboard) and nothing seems impossible. In that regard, it fits the feel of the song perfectly. Perry always stays on message. There is no deviation. It's ingenious, not to mention a little frightening.

Welcome to your favorite song of the second half of 2010, the one you'll fall in love with (and to). You are powerless to resist.
