This post seems like a great reason to bust out some 2010 Katy Perry Grammy photos. She was still with Russell Brand, who looks terrified to be standing next to a grown woman dressed as an angel. There’s a new story about the Ghost of Katy-and-Rusty Past. I’m not sure how accurate it is, but MSN says Katy desperately wants an annulment so she can have “a clean slate” and remarry someday in her church. Rusty isn’t cooperating and keeps ignoring Katy’s requests with his people. Huh.
Back to the angel stuff. Katy tweeted yesterday about a “miracle” that occurred as she was performing in Sunrise, Florida. She was singing “By the Grace of God” when a white feather floated past her. This feather was only a piece of some backup dancer’s costume, but Katy took it as a sign that angels are protecting her:
My favorite part of the night was when I was singing By the Grace of God & a little white feather (presumably from a costume) floated by…

& it reminded me about the angels & how, maybe, they are still looking after me, helping me continue to put one foot in front of the other.

She’s so loopy, but whatever it takes to keep going, right? Lots of people believe in angels. Not me, but Katy’s pretty hard-core, evengelical Christian when it suits her purposes. Katy also took time yesterday to tweet her enthusiasm for UFO Day. She really does believe in little green men and once said, “I do hope that when the aliens come, they’ll recognise me. I’ll be like, ‘Please don’t kill me, I wrote a song called ‘E.T.’”
*eye roll*
Here’s a new ad for Katy’s latest perfume called Royal Revolution.

Yes because god is very concerned with pop stars. He gets so distracted by making sure multi-millionaire Americans pop stars stay strong that he forgets to keep people from dying of starvation, children from being abused, and even lets babies die. Whoops! But pop stars are special with special interest from god and his angels.
Of course! And people who can’t find parking places or their glasses and pray about it. That’s why babies die – God is so busy performing magic tricks like finding stuff for people and dropping feathers on pop stars that he doesn’t have time to intervene on those minor events. Whatever.
Ha!
The arrogance of that attitude always blows me away and almost offends me, despite the fact that I’m an atheist. Yes, I’m sure that will all the insane suffering going on in the world, god will focus on YOUR petty problem. Ugh.
“Katy’s pretty hard-core, evengelical Christian when it suits her purposes[ ]” says it all.
Prayers about famine are boring; god likes Grammy acceptance speeches and football games soooo much better.
I remember when Nicky Hayden won the MotoGP Championship he said in his speech that he knew he was going to win because he had god on his side and he knew that god rewarded good people. Everyone got a real kick out of that. Where was god during all the years prior and since? All the other people racing where bad people? All the people that die horribly or worse live in pain or torture are bad people?
I had a conversation a while back with a chap that was working for me who bullied a young girl very, very badly. He was a born again Christian. I asked him how his faith correlated with his behaviour. He said to me “I know that we are all born in sin, I know that we are basically bad because of that and so I pray that I will change, only god can change it”. I was gobsmacked!
Sometimes I think that religion does us more harm than good.
At least now when I hear her music and pray for earplugs I know they might be delivered…
by… (sniff) angels…
Ya’ll are making me laugh out loud! Thank you for that!
Lmao same here! I want what this dumb broad is smoking
I’ve thought the same thing when I’ve seen players and fans praying at the World Cup.
Nailed it.
I’m not understanding the Cleopatra mixed with medieval armor ad?
Me neither, but I like her hair in it.
It looks like a knockoff of Madonna’s Super Bowl outfit from a couple of years ago.
It would be more helpful to society if angels visited while she was recording.
Lol! Agree
Or if they stepped in when the pre-recorded singing fails and she actually has to sing live.
What the heck is that dress? LOL She looks like the angel of St. Turpentine, the patron saint of paint tarps.
I don’t believe in angels but I don’t diss anyone that does. It’s comforting for them. But she just makes it sound fruit loops.
I used to think she was genuinely stupid, which clearly can’t be given the career she has. No, what she does is just play stupid, and that’s even worse. Oh, well.
She doesn’t really believe that stuff. She’s making it up to make herself seem a little more out there and interesting instead of dull and blah. She wants people to notice her. It’s pretty obvious, not sure why people can’t see through her ploy with the wacky comments.
Oh, I agree. I wasn’t referring to this article in particular, tho. It was about most of the things she says/does.
I found the alien comment way more cringe-worthy. “Don’T kill me, I wrote a song called E.T.” Crikey.
What a moron she is. Not because of religion, angels, etc. Her songs are like the ones you see on tv “CDs For Kids Party songs IV” -that crap. I thought “Roar” was the worst thing I’d ever heard, until “Birthday” came out and is now being played endlessly and without mercy. It’s an assault on my ears and brain. She is so over.
She has major corporate backers, and I have to believe there’s payola going on; she is an illiterate moron, but she has savvy people behind the scenes guiding and riding the gravy train.
Yup. Stay in school, kids.
Hey, whatever you want to believe. She clearly states that the feather came from a costume, so she’s just saying that it’s something that served as a reminder of what she already believes in. No story here.
Katy Perry married Russell Brand, dated John Mayer and thinks angels watch over her concerts ∴ Katy Perry is a moron.
To me, Katy’s a pre-teen trapped in a woman’s body mixed with some kookiness.
I like Katy. I mean, sure she sounds a little silly at times but she’s pretty harmless overall. And what you see, is more a public persona than her real self I imagine.
I didn’t get a literal vibe off her comment at all. She said she was singing a meaningful song and the floating feather prompted some religious thoughts that brought her some comfort. I don’t know what her faith is and I don’t really care… it’s beautiful to hear something like that. I wish more people would say “I’m ok, I’m doing just fine. Im happy. I had some thoughts.”
She wasn’t married in church so I don’t know why she’d need an annulment. As far as a church would’ve concerned she had a legal wedding/divorce and was never married in the eyes of a church to begin with I would think.
I didn’t realize that once you were divorced you could go back and try for an annulment? I mean on what grounds would she even ask for one? Weird after all this time
Is she Catholic? I thought her parents raised her in an evangelical church. You can get a papal dispensation/annulment after secular divorce and, yes, you can even get a papal dispensation for a marriage that was not done in the Catholic church and when neither of the parties in the marriage were Catholic. Would she use her own refusal to procreate with Brand as grounds for annulment in the church?
I have heard (but not verified so correct me if I am wrong) that if you get divorced and after the divorce you receive evidence of marital fraud that was committed during or before the marriage then you can go back and have the marriage annulled. Most people don’t because it is a pain and just want to move forward but you potentially could.
Also in answering Ol’ Cranky the rumour is that part of the reason for the divorce was that she was unaware of some of Russell’s fetishes until after they were married, which I suppose could be grounds for an annulment if he was intentionally keeping them from her or it could also be the kid issue too. What surprises me is that she claims to have some nasty ammo to use against Russell, so I think if this story were true that she would use that to get him to sign off on an annulment.
you don’t really need the same level of reasoning for a papal dispensation to annul a marriage in the Catholic church. You don’t even need the cooperation of the ex-spouse if you’re rich/famous. My friend’s husband had his first marriage annulled very easily even though neither he nor his first wife were Catholic (he converted to Catholicism to marry my friend) and they didn’t meet any of the standard requirements for an annulment.
Well, maybe they are. She can believe whatever she wants and whatever helps her get through the day.
Sweetie, those aren’t angels you summon down during your performances 😉
I noticed in the photo of Russell and Katy that he’s holding a cell phone. Why didn’t he put it in his pocket while on the red carpet? That makes me think A) He doesn’t care about touching his (ex) wife. While he has his arm around her, his hands are barely touching her B) He’s probably checked out while attending this event. Most likely looking at his phone the entire time. Oh Rusty, I don’t get it. Maybe Katy is kind of loopy but my God she’s gorgeous. I’m sure there are a ton of people that would take his place since he’s so bored. For the most part, I like Russell Brand because he’s funny and extremely smart but from what I’ve seen of him with Katy, he definitely was not a good a husband to her. He obviously doesn’t want anything to do with her so just give her the dang annulment. (P.S. How does one get an annulment when you are already divorced? Just curious.)
Katy can look gorgeous in some photos…errr….highly-photoshopped advertisements, but her red carpet expressions resemble an open-mouthed, latex blow-up doll more often than not. And, unfortunately, the words that escape her mouth are no less vacant.
Totally agree with you on her expressions & embarrassing comments & tweets! She is ridiculous.
When auto-tune can crash down any minute and show everyone you have the same singing skills as my cat of course you would like to believe there is someone more than just a sound technician protecting you…
I’m only coming down here to say that on the weekend I watched a rerun of Graham Norton, and Katy Perry was on it. Good gahd, all she did was play with her hair the whole friggin’ time! And talk in a faux British accent. The hair play was beyond irritating and incredibly distracting. She is a dumb-dumb and I don’t feel bad for saying that.
Eh, it’s a harmless belief. Some people are spiritual and feel some entities are protecting them. Some people think dead relatives are watching over them, some people… angels. It’s like a psychological security blanket. It’s not like that JLo Santeria magic spell.
I’m Atheist, but isn’t god supposed to be everything to everyone? I mean, god is supposed to be everywhere, right? So is it wrong for her to believe that god watches over her and dying babies? My mom, who is Christian, told me that god looked after everyone, so I don’t believe that there is anything wrong with Katy’s beliefs. As a side note, I don’t believe in “little green men”, but I do want to believe in “Brownies” (little elves that will come and clean up your home at night if you leave them a snack on the kitchen table).
Before I get to the angel stuff: Something tells me that Katy knows her career as a pop singer is fading and I think she is ramping up to begin a career is Christian Rock/Pop. It would make sense given her background. More power to her if she can pull it off and I think she can. I wonder if that was her plan all along?
As for the angel stuff: meh. It was probably from a costume but things happen and people can’t explain them. My philosophy has always been if it makes you feel better to believe that there is a God more power to you. If Katy wants to believe it is an angel or an act of God who am I to say that it isn’t? Angels, spiritual energy, God whatever can very possibly exist but we just don’t have any way to verify them. As for the Russell Brand stuff, I believe she can proceed with an annulment without him unless she is hoping to get a religious one then most likely he would have to sign off on it.
No one plans to go to Christian rock from the mainstream. It’s not a bad fallback strategy for Katy, though.
Not referencing her beliefs at all, but she really isn’t very bright, is she? Russell is an intelligent man. No wonder he split.
I think she would be a good match with Robin Thicke or Justin Bieber!
She WOULD believe in angels. She definitely needs help putting one foot in front of the other, good thing she realizes it, even if she is dumber than a brick.
she is harmless-jessica simpson is dumb as a brick too and look where she is financially-(her dad)-i like katie’s songs-light fun for summer.
Two words: air head!
One word: dumbass
She reminds me of some girls I met inside the church in my life: very spiritual when it’s convinient, but spending time in front of the mirror to look pretty is more important than actually read the Bible. By the way, churches are a real spot for hypocrites.
