Whether it's by singing about kissing girls or by slightly looking a bit like a man, Katy Perry has never shied away from controversy. And because of this affinity for controversy, Katy Perry is currently getting the hiding of her life. A couple of days ago The Sun published a photo of Katy Perry posing with a knife accompanied by a headline similar to but not exactly 'BURN THE WITCH FOR SHE KNOWES MAGICK!' and now all hell has broken loose. So, with the sound of tabloid disapproval ringing in her ears, Katy Perry has released a statement saying that she is 'against all violence'. Problem solved. Now The Sun can get back to the real threat to the nation's youth - all those pictures of Katy Perry wearing 1940s swimsuits. Seriously, if we start seeing girls dressed as WWII cheesecake models in the street, we're going to form a mob and burn Katy's house down.
Well that wasn't long - just hours after Madonna and Guy Ritchie were thought to be divorcing, Madonna and Guy Ritchie are divorcing. Madonna's spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg has just issued the statement we've all been waiting for - the one that says Madonna and Guy Ritchie were living a hate-filled lie and that their Christmas present to one another this year will be that they both get to legally have sex with other people because, yes, they're getting divorced. Notice, though, that the divorce statement came from Madonna's spokeswoman as opposed to a joint statement from Guy Ritchie and Madonna together. Wow. We're starting to get the feeling that those two might not actually get along.
Imagine your ex-husband was on TV doing a wobbly-voiced interview about how his affair with an 18-year-old wasn't his fault. Imagining that? Congratulations, you're now Christie Brinkley. And now, Christie Brinkley, given that your ex-husband Peter Cook has just shown himself to be an egomanical attention-div of the highest order by writhing around in the gutter in front of the world like this, what's the absolute last thing you should probably do? That's right - dive into the gutter with him. But that's what Christie Brinkley has just done. Christie's released a statement that further slags off Peter Cook, even though it's basically just another reminder for her daughter that her parents are no longer capable of rational thought. The poor girl's already called Sailor, for Christ's sake. How much more do you want her to resent you?
Neil Patrick Harris has responded to yesterday’s Associated Press article which suggested he would like Britney Spears banned from the set of How I Met Your Mother by saying what he meant to say was that Britney is welcome back anytime! That’s a bit strange, isn’t it? Why on one day (yesterday) would someone say: “I’m in the minority that our show does not need stunt casting in order to succeedâ€, and then one day later (today) say: “As I have said all along, Britney did a great job on the show. She really did. In fact, we are all hoping that she returns rather soon to reprise her role as Abbyâ€? What could have happened to change Neil’s mind so drastically in such a short space of time? Hmmm…
You know what's better than Scott Weiland publicly lashing out at his Velvet Revolver bandmates who just sacked him? Nothing.
Alright, maybe that's an overstatement - Velvet Revolver never having even existed in the first place is clearly better than that - but Scott Weiland being all whiny in public will do for now.
Scott Weiland has put out an angry, confusing statement about his dismissal from Velvet Revolver where, at one point, he tips Johann Sebastian Bach to become his replacement. Which would work - dig up the 250-year-dead Bach, pump him full of heroin, slap a ridiculous Nazi hat onto his mouldy corpse head and he'd be the spitting image of Scott Weiland. Alright, he actually meant Sebastian Bach from Skid Row. But that's less funny so we'll ignore it.
So far this year, Britney Spears has mainly communicated in garbled British-accented gibberish or a series of distressing shrieks.
But, unless Britney Spears will play a massively unstable bint from Nottingham who looks like she might have a bit of a drinking problem in her upcoming How I Met Your Mother cameo, that'll have to change soon.
Which is why Britney has got there first. To help viewers with the unexpected shock of seeing Britney Spears on TV talking full sentences in a normal way, Britney's released a statement about her time on How I Met Your Mother. True, Britney Spears' statement is so unrelentingly generic that it could be about anything, and we're almost completely certain that she had absolutely nothing to do with it, but it's a start.
OK, not quite. But Morrissey has decided to tell his side of the Morrissey/ NME immigration yarn to the most unbiased arena in the land - the official Morrissey website.
Last week, Morrissey's torrent of alleged anti-immigration codswallop shocked all NME readers - so basically about a dozen 14-year-olds with funny haircuts and cupboards full of skinny ties - to such an extent that Morrissey was forced to sue the magazine. And today on his website, Morrissey is going to explain that actually he's not a racist, that the NME ignored his requests to help out on an anti-racism campaign and - perhaps most shockingly of all - the interviewer fidgeted a bit and laughs like a schoolgirl.
Oh, it's on.
