Katy Perry Myths Busted
By Doug Lazy on August 17, 2010
Being famous isn’t as easy as it looks. Just ask Pop sensation [lastfm]Katy Perry[/lastfm]. Not only does she have to deal with her boyfriend Russell Brand hogging all her hair products, but she also has to battle ridiculous internet rumors about her life. What’s real? What’s a rumor? What’s just plain horse hockey? Find out which of the most outrageous rumors are confirmed, plausible or busted.
Then come back on August 24th (5pm PT/8pm ET) to watch Katy play an epic streaming concert from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater as part of the latest installment of the Live on Letterman web series. It’s going to be amazing. That’s a fact.
Rumor: Katy Perry is in a blood war against pop star Miley Cyrus. DENIED
The tabloid Life and Style reported that Katy got catty backstage at Canada’s Much Music Awards. According to the report, Katy compared [lastfm]Miley Cyrus[/lastfm] to [lastfm]Britney Spears[/lastfm] and negated the talent of both girls. According to this (not safe for work) Tweet, Katy loves Miley and thinks there is plenty of room for “California Gurls” to “Party in the USA.”
Rumor: Rihanna is planning Katy Perry’s bachelorette party. CONFIRMED
This was originally a rumor on Twitter, until [lastfm]Rihanna[/lastfm] confirmed it herself in a recent Access Hollywood interview.

Rumor: Katy Perry and Russell Brand will be married wearing latex. PLAUSIBLE
Anything can happen with these two. She doesn’t bat an eye at the thought of donning a cupcake bra, while Brand was just spotted wearing ridiculous outfits (including a top hat and Underoos) for his newest role as a batty, bachelor millionaire in Arthur. The British tabloid The Sun first reported the rumor in June, and the couple have neither confirmed or denied the bold report.
Rumor: Katy Perry is pregnant. DENIED
When Katy and Russell announced their engagement a mere four months after they started dating, the internet was a buzz with baby rumors. Could this couple be another Reese Witherspoon/Ryan Phillippe waiting to happen? Don’t worry, super fans. Katy won’t be taking maternity leave any time soon. She dies that she is with child in this oddly graphic and specific Tweet on January 13, 2010.
Rumor: Katy Perry will pose topless. CONFIRMED… and DENIED
Katy recently graced the cover of Rolling Stone and Esquire UK wearing only her hands for a shirt, but in an official YouTube interview, she was asked if she would ever pose for Playboy. She replied, “I would probably say no because I think…that’s showing all your cards. And I always want to keep a couple aces up my sleeve. And plus I think it’s a fine line to tease and then to just give it away, and I like to be considered more of the tease.”

Rumor: The [lastfm]Beach Boys[/lastfm] are suing Katy Perry. DENIED (mostly)
After Katy’s song “California Gurls” became a hit in July 2010, the internet was a buzz with rumors that classic rockers the Beach Boys were set to sue the Daisy Dukes off of Katy. In the middle of the song, [lastfm]Snoop Dog[/lastfm] utters the line “I wish they could all be California Girls.” This line is reminiscent of the Beach Boys’ classic “California Girls.” Perry shot the rumor down in an August 6, 2010 Tweet, and a representative from Rondor Music (who owns Beach Boys’ music) announced that there is no formal lawsuit (but there is a “diminuitve claim”). Take a listen for yourself. What do you think?
