MAYJAH FACE!!!!!!!!!!
Russell Brand is one lucky guy if you ask Flash! Katy Perry is GORGE on the June 2011 issue of Vanity Fair magazine where she talks about her Evangelical upbringing, husband Russell Brand and body image....the shyt we already knew about her! But, I will say that she goes deeper into her strict religious upbringing.
Peep excerpts under the break....
He career is like WHAT?
“My career is like an artichoke. People might think that the leaves are tasty and buttered up and delicious, and they don’t even know that there’s something magical hidden at the base of it. There’s a whole other side [of me] that people didn’t know existed.”
In her strict Evangelical upbringing:
“I didn’t have a childhood,” she says, adding that her mother never read her any books except the Bible, and that she wasn’t allowed to say “deviled eggs” or “Dirt Devil.” Perry wasn’t even allowed to listen to secular music and relied on friends to sneak her CDs. “Growing up, seeing Planned Parenthood, it was considered like the abortion clinic,” she tells Robinson. “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.”
“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.” Perry’s mother confirms that she is proud of her daughter’s success, telling Robinson, “The Lord told us when I was pregnant with her that she would do this.”Why her and Russell didn't sell their wedding photos:
She and husband Russell Brand refused to sell photos of their 2010 Indian wedding. “The press is just not your friend when it comes to marriage,” she explains. “That’s why we didn’t sell the pictures of our wedding, and we got offered millions of dollars for them, millions ... It’s the wrong kind of attention. It detracts from the reason why you exist. We wanted that moment to ourselves.”
Katy on Russell:
Perry says that there is “never a dull moment” and that Brand has “never lied to me once. I trust him; there’s just a level of trust that we’ve built up.”
Katy on why her music is important to her:
“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.” But despite her immense fame, Perry never forgets what it took to get to where she is. “I don’t take anything for granted,” she says. “There are 500 other girls right behind me. And I know that, because I was one of them. I remember what it’s like to be someone who’s always trying to get there—sending out tons of e-mails … trying to connect with some person who could connect me with some other person. And I wouldn’t be working at this pace now if I didn’t truly know that fame is fleeting. If the core, the honesty, my story, isn’t working, then all those bells and whistles aren’t going to work, either. Sometimes I can be distracted by the glamour and the fabulousness. But my husband always reminds me to keep the core intact…. I just think I have to appreciate every day, every opportunity, work hard, and continue to evolve as an artist. I already know my future evolution, where I’m going to go. I mean, I’m touring in fucking Indonesia, for crying out loud.”
