Apparently, Katy Perry can't even remember the face and name of her friend. This apparently means she's a really bad friend, some are saying.
In a recent interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, one of Katy Perry's old friends was there on the show to give her a surprise. Before the friend came on, Kimmel asked Katy to identify her friend from a choice of six pictures - which Katy got right the second time. However, she also got the name of the friend wrong.
Well, to be fair, it's an old friend from years ago. So you'd have to forgive her, right?
You seriously don't expect celebrities to be perfect people, do you? Celebrities actually live in the real world too. I mean, nothing in the real world is ever perfect.

Katy Perry hopes to end feud with Taylor Swift. I really hope she is sincere.
Katy Perry has recently said in multiple interviews that she hopes to end her feud with Taylor Swift.
But it still isn't clear what this conflict was about. Or if it even ever existed at all.
I mean, I do have a long-standing suspicion that this feud perhaps never even existed. That perhaps, just maybe, Katy Perry was imagining it, for whatever reason. Especially since there is no clear evidence that Taylor Swift ever even acknowledged its existence. And no, the Bad Blood video does not count, as there was no evidence that it was directed at Katy Perry (or directed at anyone in particular at all).
In any case, I really hope Katy Perry is sincere about putting it all to an end. We're sick of hearing about this likely non-existant feud. I really hope she's not just acting out and trying to drag out the story for even longer. Because it is really becoming ridiculous.

The Ariana Grande One Love Manchester Concert reminded me of something: the power of Positivity
Ariana Grande has been praised by many people around the world for her bravery in going back to Manchester to deliver the One Love Manchester concert. And with the support of artists like Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Coldplay, Katy Perry, Liam Gallagher and others, it was a great show. Surely the music was great, but there was also one quality about it that really struck me.
The positivity.
The positive message of unity and love that came out of the concert was unmistakable, and I think it is an important message to have right now. Not only because the whole world is reeling from a series of terrible terrorist attacks, but also because there's just too much negativity hanging around generally. 2017 has been a particular controversial year, and people on all sides have gotten especially negative. The West really has not been this bitter, this angry, and this divided before. Somewhere along the way, people forgot to be positive.
So make this pledge with me: remember to be positive, even in the face of difficulty. Because we all need it.

Did Katy Perry make Swish Swish to diss Taylor Swift? Or is it something even more sinister?
Katy Perry latest single, Swish Swish (featuring Nicki Minaj), was recently released to controversy. Many have noted that the lyrics seem to be in answer to Taylor Swift's 2015 single Bad Blood, and not in a nice way either. Add in the fact that Taylor's friend Ruby Rose also took to twitter to express her unhappiness with Swish Swish, suddenly now many people are convinced.
But then, as I said just a couple of weeks ago, I don't trust anything Katy Perry does anymore. To my best knowledge, there was nothing in Ruby's tweets about Swish Swish to indicate that she was indeed doing this to stick up for Taylor Swift. Instead, Ruby bluntly told Katy to 'stop trying to make Fetch happen'. Which is what I personally want to tell Katy too, in fact. I'm going to put it bluntly: I see Katy Perry being a try-hard, trying to push sales of her new album, and she is becoming increasingly uncool at that. I can't help but suspect that this latest 'controversy' is somehow just because Katy wants to 'make Fetch happen'.
In fact, my readers would know that I don't in fact believe that the Taylor Swift vs Katy Perry feud even ever happened at all. But that's another story.
Ruby Rose also seemed to be angry about Katy Perry's recent 'rebranding as a political activist only to ditch it', likely referring to her apparently feverent support of the Hillary Clinton campaign last year, contrasting with her much lower level of political passion recently. You know, Katy, if you want to be passionate about politics, that's fine. But if it's all an act, people will get upset. Politics is very personal and very important for many of us.

I Can't Trust Katy Perry Anymore. She just sounded like a Donald Trump Supporter. I can't be sure she isn't one, in fact.
I don't mind real Trump supporters at all. I just don't like fake people. Fake people have no Princess's Spirit.
Recently, Katy Perry has received a lot of backlash over a 'joke' involving former president Barack Obama. During an Instagram Live Exchange session, a fan said that they missed her old black hair. To which Katy replied, something like "miss Obama as well? Times change."
People are obviously upset. Some have even said that this was an act of microagression towards the former president. Which I don't agree - because I don't believe in microaggressions. I also think that Obama would be too worried about the state his country is in right now to have any time for Katy Perry. But what Katy said was really insensitive: not to the great man himself, but to the millions of people around the world who actually miss him. After all, many of us truly, truly don't like Trump very much, and wish that it was still the Obama era.
Some people have described Katy Perry simply as a celebrity who didn't know what to say. But that's really unconvincing. We're talking about a women in her 30s who has travelled the world and made lots of money.
Which brings me onto my next point: most of my friends are in the miss Obama, wish Hillary had won camp. If I said something like what Katy said, it wouldn't have been interpreted as a joke. They would think I was out of my mind. Anyone who truly understands the pain and fear many have suffered since November last year would know that this would not be an appropriate 'joke' to tell. Not that it sounded like a joke at all either: it sounds like something a die-hard Trump supporter would say to us to rub the salt in. I really cannot help but think that Katy Perry's support of the liberal side of politics was perhaps never sincere at all. How else could she be so thick?
I have long found Katy Perry's sincerity suspicious. After all, she started her career with the offensive anthem Ur So Gay, and followed it up with the equally offensive but dressed up as fun I Kissed A Girl. My gay friends didn't find these songs funny at all. It's hard not to take it personally when the lyrics say 'it's not what good girls do, not how they should behave'. You can't get any more explicitly homophobic than that. But then, Katy supported marriage equality and even challenged former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott on this issue. So I tried to believe in her.
But I can't anymore. She's in my suspicious book again.
p.s. I don't mind real Trump supporters at all. Also, I'm a pro-liberty liberal.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom Never Meant to be Serious? Really Disappointing If So.
After Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's recent split, there have been rumours that the two never intended this relationship to be serious.
I hope it's not true. I mean, we should all respect others' choices, but it saddens me that people choose to start relationships that can be disposed of whenever they want to. I know it's their freedom to do so, but I have to say that it makes me feel sad about the state of humanity.
In my humble opinion, it's no good for either party. Human beings are meant to live in committed relationships, I believe.

Katy Perry vs Lady Gaga
Katy Perry and Lady Gaga are two of the most popular contemporary pop artists. The two each releasing new stuff this year has prompted comparisons yet again. Even Glee had an episode on this just recently.
Honesty, until recently, I have never thought of Katy Perry or Lady Gaga as opposites - to me, they both did outrageous things - Lady Gaga had the Poker Face video as well as quite a few other boundary pushing ones, and Katy Perry had songs like I Kissed a Girl (which by the way was disrespectful to the gay community in my opinion) and videos like California Gurls. Sure, Gaga was weirder than Katy, but I thought it was a small difference anyway.
Needless to say, I disliked both of them. To me, a better contrast would be with artists like Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood, who would never do things like that.
Katy Perry has put out quite a good album this time round however, and my view of her appears to be changing. Maybe one day I will learn to truly like her. Lady Gaga, meanwhile, her stuff has gone downhill in my opinion. I don't think I will ever learn to like her.
So maybe Glee did have a point - Lady Gaga and Katy Perry may indeed be opposites in some ways.

Even Katy Perry has Some Limits
The recent proliferation of gross and controversial music videos from multiple female entertainers has provoked an increasingly hot conversation about whether things are going too far.
"I think there's a difference between pushing the envelope sexually and pushing the envelope creatively," Bette Midler recently told Katie Couric.
It appears that even Katy Perry, whose California Gurls video in 2010 made some of us really uncomfortable, wants less of what we are seeing out there too.
"I'm not talking about anyone in particular. I'm talking about all of them. I mean, it's like everybody's so naked. It's like, 'Put it away. We know you've got it. I got it, too'," she said.
I think we can safely conclude that things have gotten too far in 'pushing the envelope sexually' recently, and a return to more family friendly styles would be popular right now. Who is going to lead in that area? It would take someone brave to fill that role, I think.

Katy Perry, Thanks for Challenging Abbott's Inequality, All is Forgiven
Katy Perry has challenged Australian opposition leader Tony Abbott on the issue of marriage equality on radio this morning. "I love you as a human being but I can't give you my vote," she said, about Abbott's opposition to marriage equality.
Thanks for standing up for your beliefs. All is forgiven about the past.
