Katy Perry proud of her meaningful work

Katy Perry feels proud to have penned meaningful and substantial lyrics in her career, such as ‘Firework’ and ‘Teenage Dream’. "I feel really happy I took that time to not write about DJs and fame, the materialistic world, which is great because I love those glitz-and-glamour bells and whistles, but I know people connect to more substantial lyrics," said Perry. "I started writing songs like ‘Firework’ and ‘Teenage Dream’ and songs that I think now are anthems for people." "When I’m playing ‘Firework’, the whole arena literally moves up and down. It’s the song that people are holding onto and inspired by. I always want to be completely honest and, for this record in particular, I knew from the outside world, a lot had changed," she said.

Katy Perry to promote Thomas Sabo Jewellery

Pop superstar Katy Perry has become the first celebrity to be roped in as the ambassador of Thomas Sabo jewellery in their 27-year history. The ‘Firework’ hitmaker will feature in the company’s spring-summer advertising campaign for their forthcoming Pop Now collection, which is influenced by elements including pop art, music, disco and neon. As a part of the deal, the company will sponsor Perry’s concerts, while she will don their jewellery and make an appearance at the trade show Inhorgenta in Munich. The 26-year-old singer has previously spoken of her love for quirky jewellery but one of her most treasured pieces was given to her by husband Russell Brand on their first date.

"Russell gave this to me on our first date. It’s a Hindu hand of peace. But they’re not beads, they are black diamonds. He gave me black diamond’s on our very first date," she said.

Katy Perry to pose for Rolling Stones' photo shoot

Singer Katy Perry will reportedly go un-clothed for English rock band Rolling Stones’ new magazine shoot. The pop star will appear on the cover of the latest issue of the publication wearing a blush two-piece lingerie and a sultry look and she dons only fishnet stockings for a beach shot to be used inside the magazine. Perry admits she had to work hard to get in shape for the photoshoot and also for her upcoming world tour. "I’m on a meal plan, which absolutely sucks. But, on Sundays, I get to have a cheat day where I go buck wild and eat In-N-Out Burger," said Katy.

"I’ll work out, go to a vocal lesson, run through the entire set at rehearsals, go to dance rehearsal until 10 p.m. and then go home and sort through e-mails concerning the production. I feel like I’m training for the Olympics," she added.

Katy Perry to continue sexy stage act post marriage

Pop star Katy Perry has no plans to mellow down her provocative performances post her marriage to comedian Russell Brand. The ‘I Kissed A Girl’ hitmaker who married the British funnyman in India after a whirlwind romance, insisted she is looking forward to start a family but won’t give up her sexy stage act at any cost. "Being married feels lovely. I want to have children and start a family. When you find your husband some people might slow down. But I’m still young. I have a lot of energy and individual goals to reach. I’m very independent, like a cat. "People tell me, “Oh, you’re gonna be boring now you’re married”. I say, “Look at Beyonce! She’s married to Jay-Z. She’s so sexy but she’s a married woman. She absolutely rocks it. I won’t be less sexy or provocative," said Perry.

The 26 year old singer insisted she is generally a "good girl" but is well aware of her sex appeal and likes to use it to "tease" men.

"I’m a good girl because I believe in love, integrity and respect. I’m a bad girl because I like to tease. I know that I have sex appeal in my deck of cards. I admit I don’t feel sexy all the time, especially when I’ve just woken up," she added.
