STEPPIN OUT WITH TALENTED KATY PERRY

Katy Perry

In this weeks Steppin' Out magazine, Chaunce Hayden sits down with singer/songwriter "IT" girl, Katy Perry. Perry tells Hayden what girl she REALLY wants to kiss (AND SHE'S UNDERAGE), how she feels about Madonna and Amy Winehouse and what about those "virgin" rumors? Forget it!


Chaunce Hayden:

If you could kiss any girl in the world right at this moment, who would it be?

Katy Perry:

Miley Cyrus! She's the lucky girl. It's cool to hear through the grapevine that Miley Cyrus has my song as her ring tone . Although I think she's cheating on me. I think she might really go for it. We'll see. She's hosting the Teen Choice Awards and I'll be on the show. So you don't know. Maybe we'll have another Britney - Madonna moment on stage. How hilarious would that be? Although I don't think it would help her career. However, it would definitely help mine!

Chaunce Hayden:

You see what happened to Britney Spears and what's currently happening to Amy Winehouse. Does it bother you that people with such great talent can just throw it all away?

Katy Perry:

Dude! I've taken tons of lessons from them! They're like the lobotomy class where I checked them out first. There are so many different things that go into that type of demise. It may not even be just the successes. I know that has to be a big part of it. I'm definitely not scared of that happening to me. I have people around me who I can trust. I've also lived in Los Angeles for seven years. It's not like I'm fresh off the boat. I'm not saying that I'm not going to make mistakes. I'm in the business of rock n roll and with that comes some political incorrectness. But I make music for myself and for the people who love it. Everybody else can listen to whatever else they want to listen to. I pray for those girls. I know it's really hard and somewhat not their fault. The paparazzi can be very aggressive.

Chaunce Hayden:

Z-100 quoted you from an interview you did recently where you say, "I'm going to save myself for marriage before I have sex.”

Katy Perry:

I said that? Well I'm definitely not a virgin! I can't believe they would say that about me. That's so silly! They know me inside and out. I've hung out with those guys. They know for sure that I've had boyfriends.

Chaunce Hayden:

In Z100's defense, I believe they were just reading an article that had come out about you. You also are quoted, I'm assuming in the same article, as saying that your boyfriend [Travis McCoy of Jim Class Heroes] isn't getting anywhere with you until you're married and that you recently got a promise ring from him. Well?

Katy Perry:

Oh, they think the promise ring means no sex! No, the promise ring is just a promise that he'll get me another ring. A better ring! I say that in all sarcasm. Seriously, it's not one of those no sex promise rings. That kind of went out the window when I was 17 years old.
