Katy Perry posed with a mini-me of herself (pictured below) at the Svedka-sponsored People party at Mr. West nightclub on Wednesday (May 6). Before রিহানা showed up to support her Katy, here’s what the 24-year-old “I Kissed A Girl” singer opened up to JustJared.com about:
KP: Hi! I প্রণয় your site so much! You’re the man because আপনি প্রদর্শনী good pictures and you’re not trashing people’s lives and making people cry! You’re a nice guy, I like that. You’re trying to change the idea of media. It’s cool.
JJ: We sort of have similar religious backgrounds. Maybe we relate on that level?
KP: Maybe that’s why আপনি still have integrity?
JJ: (laughs) Do আপনি call yourself a sellout then?
KP: Oh yeah, I sold out my whole tour! I’m a sellout in the most positive way! (laughs) But no, I don’t think I’m a sellout at all. I like to go big! I প্রণয় pop music, I’m not ashamed, আপনি know? A lot of people are like “Ugh, pop music.” অথবা major record labels think it’s cool to be indie but my dream as a little girl was to be on the Grammys and to have my record be available to everyone in the whole world. That’s why I need that big record label.

JJ: Go big অথবা go home, right?
KP: Oh, always! আপনি can see that in my outfits. আপনি can see that in my conversations and interviews, I don’t know. That’s how I’ve always been.
JJ: What’s your পছন্দ thing to do when you’re visiting New York? (JJ Note: Katy lives in L.A.)
KP: I প্রণয় NY so much! I would সরানো to NY if my life wasn’t already so intense. The thing about NY is that আপনি have no excuses to take the elevator down from your apartment and meet your বন্ধু at the bar downstairs. New York is just such a cultural shmorgishboard. It’s very artistic and inspiring. It always has such a constant energy about it every hour! I প্রণয় that it has all different kinds of people! আপনি could sit on a bench, watch people, and be so inspired দ্বারা it. So much character! The shopping here is unbelievable. After touring a lot of different places, and being all around the world…New York City and Tokyo are the জ্যাম shopping spots. Nothing else compares.
JJ: Where is the one place আপনি must go shopping?
KP: There are a couple places, I go to the Lower East Side because I like আরো of the little boutiquey stuff. I প্রণয় this one ভান্দার called Mandate Of Heaven. She is my favorite, she does rompers and jumpers. I just bought this পরাকাষ্ঠা jumper. It has a portrait of a kitten on it and it’s really short so it shows off my butt a little. But it’s very innocent, very Lolita. So if আপনি come to NYC আপনি have to check out Mandate Of Heaven!
JJ: Are আপনি performing in NY any time soon?
KP: I am! I was just here for three sold-out shows at the Irving Plaza, and I’ll be back July 28th at the Gramercy.
JJ: What’s the most dangerous thing you’ve ever done?
KP: Well, আপনি know, when you’re a teenager আপনি feel invincible. Maybe, in retrospect, the most dangerous thing I’ve ever done was driving for the first time on the 405 in 5 lanes of traffic, at night. First time, in my first car, a black Jetta.
JJ: Any insider info আপনি can give us about your new সঙ্গীত video, “Waking Up In Vegas”?
KP: Yes! If আপনি look at the opening scene, which is kind of the way we ended as well, আপনি will see a little old lady to the left with like an oxygen tank on. If আপনি are on the outskirts of Vegas, it can get really depressing. You’ll see old people with their gambling carts and you’ll be like “Ew, আপনি need the Lord!” (laughs) That little old lady is my 88-year-old grandma! She lives in Las Vegas and she was dying to be in the video.
JJ: And your BFF Markus is in this video?
KP: Yes! Markus Molinari, my best friend. আপনি can catch him for a বিভক্ত করা সেকেন্ড at the শীর্ষ of the drag কুইন opening at the table. Markus is also coming with me to Vienna while I’m hosting Life Ball.
