Thanks let’s get started

okay question who comes from why the

face no one has any one why the face oh

one I know the usernames relators anyone

who never liked you come crawling back

to you after becoming famous oh good

question

yeah the change the whole change that

happens after you’re in you have a

little bit of success yeah it’s funny

you don’t I kind of really went through

that when I was in Los Angeles because I

moved to Los Angeles when I was 17 and I

wasn’t really invited different places

that some other friends were or I

couldn’t go hang out with certain people

or about what cuz they didn’t think I

was cool enough and then finally when I

got my big break it was like you know

there was no waiting in line and I was

just like I remember I remember that I’m

not gonna come to your party anymore I’m

not gonna just let you ride the

coattails but I have really good friends

thank God and I’ve had them for a long

time and they’re having just as much fun

you know on this insane rollercoaster as

I am and I get to go back to Santa

Barbara all the time I just did a

feature there about like where I come

from and my my high school and I still

am pretty good in pretty good contact

with everyone from kind of that time and

I I reconnected like with old best

friends and we were all just so happy to

be reconnected I mean even if you do

have success like sometimes you

disconnect from like those people that

used to hang out with in junior high in

high school so I haven’t had too much of

that no and I’m I’m pretty good at

spotting like the fakers

so you made your own feature about oh we

didn’t know I did a feature on a

television program yeah about Santa

Barbara and where I come from my

hometown yes

all right the next question is from

flaming staples who asks what was your

reaction to the California Girls parody

by Kiev awesome I don’t know if you’ve

seen it yes I saw it of course I’ve I

think I’ve seen probably more than half

of them and watch a little right now

there might be some people who haven’t

cueball so I was so surprised they

actually put this out

like after my

[Music]

hey rich

we’re near wiener

[Music]

Starbucks any mocha chai tea amazing I

to detail these people they’ve done so

many like parodies and videos and I

watched them every once in a while I

mean they are on it like the day after

my video premiered it was like they had

their version I love that you can do

that and put it on YouTube and you’re

almost like as many hits as the actual

artist yeah I was the geniusness of all

this but um yeah it was really funny I

thought it was hilarious because it was

a talking exactly about what California

Gurls to me is not right I don’t really

like those LA girls because I’m not

talking about like Hollywood girls and

California girls cuz those are fake

they’ve got like the fake face

the fake boobs fake fake fake and

they’re constantly like climbing

people’s ladders to get to where they

like to be famous or whatever it is but

what I’m talking about are like those

California Girls I think that the Beach

Boys were talking about just like

there’s something about them I love

those East Coast girls because they have

all that attitude and those southern

girls are like Southern Belles but these

California girls they’re just like cool

you know they’re down to earth they go

with the flow like they are the ones you

want to invite you know over to hang out

and like their girls gross like I’m

friends with Lisa and she’s friends with

me and sometimes girls don’t get along

and I’m not talking about those girls

cuz those are those girls obviously are

too cracked out you haven’t come to the

party yeah she’s a real girl you’re a

real killer I am Santa Barbara

California 805 so you’re cool you’re

obviously cool parodies for people

making Jack chewing gum them yeah you’re

not you’re not like good people ask

there’s a lot of questions about that

I do kind of take myself seriously when

it’s appropriate to like with different

songs you know you saw with one of the

boys that there were moments to like

have a serious moment with thinking of

you and I will in the rest of this

record later on but I know that

California Gurls is just a fun song and

I

I think if people are making parodies of

your song you’ve made it and I think

we’re like only a couple states away

from having like all 50 states in the

USA to be parodied like people have you

know Missouri girls are like Texas girls

or you know so it’s exciting I love I

love this if I welcome it actually would

like to see more of it please good you

hear that I’m a jokester prankster so if

the joke’s on me I’ll also play along

the next question is from music now zero

zero zero what is one thing that most

people don’t know about you that they’d

be shocked to find out

goodness I’m pretty much an open book so

it’s a bit hard to find anything that

people don’t know about me oh gosh I’m

kind of like looking around to see if

anybody knows something that I would

like to reveal it could be even

something not dirty dirty nice it could

be like a knight like a nice thing

somebody doesn’t know a nice thing

somebody doesn’t know I didn’t know that

exist oh yes Caesar no well my boobs are

real oh good

just wanted to cover all that and what

else

III brushed my teeth all the time your

teeth are really white by the way thank

amazing I wanted him to be like Britney

Spears no I want that too

no I used to grow up seeing her using

videos I’m like what does she do does

she give a new set of teeth all the time

there’s so much going towards the light

but I’m like really anal about that

because I like good breath and some like

a turn-off for me with guys is like

halitosis

I’ve actually twittered about it before

because I’ve been in like the same area

where someone will have how it just is

and I’ll be like please don’t but how do

they not know it is my wife fortunately

unfortunately I’m the kind of friend

that’s like stick a piece of gum in your

mouth cuz I’m going to say some

friendships for you and I hope someone

does that to me too but hopefully I

don’t have to do that because I have

like I’ll brush my teeth like breakfast

lunch and dinner

yeah well III did have thirteen cavities

one time really so that you can imagine

why I’m so freaked out when I was a kid

you know I didn’t really go to the

dentist a lot and I didn’t really know

this doctor and then I when I finally

went they were like uh you might as well

just get like a whole new set of teeth

why didn’t you go did this that’s poor

next question yeah because we live in

the USA and there is no health care yeah

yeah good point it’s coming it is coming

the next question is a two-part question

and it’s a video question okay say

Kelsey hi hi Katy my name is Kelsey and

I’d like to ask you two questions if

that’s all right I guess we can answer

one or you can go out there first one

since the California girl of music video

slash single the leaves from your new

album Teenage Dream what the next song

that you’re gonna release is like a

single or create a new music video is

for because I would be so ecstatic to

know I’m waiting until August 24th I’m

so excited

tell your Teenage Dream album comes out

I’ve got it marked down my child also I

know Universal brand are engaged you’re

gonna get married congratulations I’m

very happy for you guys but it’s just

question are you guys planning on having

kids or kittens kids children okay she

did such a great job between her edits

and I think that’s like that’s me and

then I heard her version of hot and cold

in the background I mean she is like a

uber fan that’s so cute and also like

her attention to the detail is so

perfect her positioning I love you okay

first question is I just shot the music

video forward the second single off of

this record called Teenage Dream and so

happens to be the song next is Teenage

Dream so I shot that music video in

Santa Barbara my home town I wrote it in

Santa Barbara with some friends and

it’s so exciting it was so fun and it’s

gonna be completely different from

California Gurls California Gurls is

like you know this the stupid wigs and

the fun the glitz and the glam and I

think with Teenage Dream you’ll see a

very raw almost vulnerable like so

vulnerable you know I had to wear so

much so many little less layers of

makeup and you know I would show up to

set they’d be like no take it all off

and be like oh people are gonna judge me

or but I think it’s gonna be exciting

I’m nervous but I had to make out with a

boy which was lace it was very

traumatizing and I was kind of mean to

him oh you know I would be the one to

call cut because I was like I can’t do

this I feel so horrible but I know that

it’s job and he you know he has to do

the same thing sometimes so we

understand what our work is um but yeah

we are excited to get married of course

and I think in marriage when you’re

picking a partner that is one of the

things to keep in mind is would they be

a good baby daddy and he’ll be perfect

alright now it’s time for the real

hard-hitting question Oh God

Wow let’s do this so everybody wants to

know about you kissing girls everybody

wants to so many questions about it

you’re probably so sick no no these it’s

who where you know where I came from

alright Fred Joe Bob 22 nine wants to

know of course it’s a boy that’s asking

you a question

did you really kiss a girl um yes of

course I have really kissed a girl I

don’t think I could be you know shouting

it from the rooftops hundreds of

thousands of time and not been like hmm

what does it actually taste like and

sometimes it’s not like cherry chapstick

it’s like Bonnie Bell vanilla yeah I

love that too

well Maria mermaid if you could kiss any

girl would

well I used to want to kiss Megan Fox

but now she’s married and I’m not so

sure about that anymore

probably Natalie Portman yeah she’s

she’s hot and smart right yeah and my

friend actually really likes her and I

think she’s really jealous that I just

said that now

oh she’s fuming well she answered she

answered the question yes all right the

next one is one of my favorites it’s a

video question it’s these two girls that

each have a question and they’re Nicole

Marie 2:40 cool hi hi Katie

it’s Nicole I can’t use Mary and we’re

gonna ask you two questions okay my

question is for your wedding what color

nail polish a plan to wear and my

question is was it your idea to shoot

whipped cream out of your bosoms okay so

they’re so cute hi cute they are

no wonder they got their question

answered um well first of all my nails

I’m kind of a nail aficionado and freak

and sometimes I’ll have you know

pictures of my cat on my nails or like I

had a Willy Wonka themed birthday party

and so I had blue paws on my nails and

god I’ve had lots of different colors

and designs and right now it’s very

simple tomorrow I’ll have leopard nails

which will be really exciting but I

think for my wedding I do what is called

wedding nails which is basically these

where it’s traditional and pretty and

you know because you see like those

photos of them like holding the hands

and yeah I don’t know if I’d want like

Lupe’s you know on my nails while taking

my photos so I’m going to have the

wedding right now which will be really

hilarious because I’m very not

traditional type of person but some

things have to go that way um and then

the next question was I’m having a total

brain fart

oh yeah oh yeah other question was my

booze yeah um yes it was a collaboration

of ideas um I worked with this company

called motion theory who make fantastic

music videos and commercials and it’s

different little shorts and they had

done like the black-eyed peas and they’d

done a bunch of other fantastic music

videos and their director Mathu he you

know really brought this world to life

and I had worked also with this artist

named Will cotton to paint the album

cover which was really exciting and so I

kind of between my ideas and will

Cotton’s ideas we brought those to the

table and then Matthew from motion

Theory made them larger than life and I

had actually done a sketch of an outfit

I did I ended up wearing on MuchMusic

awards for Canada which was basically

like daisy dukes Sparkle daisy dukes and

then like a corset that was sparkled and

then two lollipops are like kind of

crisscross and I would like pull them

off because they were velcroed and it

was going along like with my kind of

candy land theme and at that same time

that I’d done a sketch which was

basically about a year ago because I was

on tour and whenever I’m on tour I’m

always thinking about the next step you

know and I have a little bit of downtime

to like really get creative and I was

thinking what would people want to see

or be a part of for the next tour and I

was thinking that maybe some kind of

Candyland tour that’s you know indulging

in all the senses whether it be smell or

you know being even the bull or the

sound the visual the whole bit and so at

the same time I came up with the

lollipop boobs I came up with the

whipped cream ammo it was your

brainchild yeah my brainchild just real

messed up it’s it’s an interesting place

to be inside my head it’s really bright

and colorful and very cute though Oh

candy yeah and kittens and kids next

question is from super Cedric 16 you’re

obviously very comfortable with your

body he went eight lengths yes not

always No

I’m I’m 25 now and now I feel like okay

this is this is it this is my body and

I’m feeling a little bit more confident

in it and I’m very loved up so I think

that kind of comes up as well it comes

off as well but if I were to know about

Playboy if you’d ever do it um I would

probably say no because I think that is

giving away like that’s showing all your

cards and like I always want to keep a

couple aces up my sleeve and Plus like I

think you know it’s a fine line to tease

and then to just give it away and I like

to be considered more the tease

so unfortunately guys you never gonna

get it million ever gonna get it sorry

the next question is a video question

okay about a couple years ago you were

at YouTube live she opened it amazing I

was there and I’d brought along a friend

of mine who was your biggest fan is your

biggest fan and she she was so nervous

that she was like shaking and couldn’t

come up to you really know so I ran into

you at the airport and I told you about

this girl and you wrote the nicest note

to her and I mailed it to her and it

like made her life oh and did I write

you just wrote like how why did you come

up to me you have to hop sometime you

know and she was just like she was so

happy it just came in the mail and she’s

like that so she submitted a question

and it’s funny right she sailed me 90

she’s excited it’s so cute I have a lot

of questions for you Katy Perry I’m

gonna start with the most important

question of all what is your favorite

food also what is Kitty paris' favorite

food she goes she knows the whole bit

she is like my walking Wikipedia she

loves me where does she live what Stan

oh good enough

um okay my favorite food it would have

to be actually it’s somewhat healthy I

guess my favorite fruit would be

pineapple my favorite like kind of

healthy food would be like beets

and arugula and then my favorite junk

food would have to be either

double-double from in-n-out burger or

chicken nuggets from McDonald’s but only

the ones shaped like this and then Katy

Perry’s favorite food would have to be

seared ahi tuna really hard time no I’m

sure I would sure so like anything that

I put in front of her actually um my

boyfriend and eyes new cat crusty she’s

a freak and now she lives in New York

City because he’s out here filming a

movie and I’m getting these pictures of

her every single day and she’s eating

berries raspberries blueberries just

like out of the little you know plastic

box she loves them and she she’s so

weird it’s not even like I know but

she’s crazy and she’s like a kitten so

she’s a lot um so she likes berries yeah

free alright the next question is also

video question it’s from Amelie wmm from

Canada Katy Perry hi if you could live

if you had to live outside of North

America where would you live are you

hoping that I say Canada I think so well

as much as I love Canada

you’re not moving there I don’t know if

I would move there I think I would

probably go to London and not just

because you know I’ve got connections

there but just because I love the the

constant style evolvement and everything

is so new or sometimes I think I should

live in Japan

but I don’t know how long how I would

get along I probably end up like singing

on the street cuz I don’t know Japanese

and putting like a little hat out saying

you support me and me but I think those

places are great although I probably eat

my words if I was really living in

London because I can’t stand the weather

I’m like I’m such a sunshiny type of

girl like if the Sun comes out I come

out if the Sun doesn’t come out you

won’t see me you know I’m like very

affected by my serotonin California girl

whoo

the next one is a video question as well

it’s from Georgie lvz Katy Perry’s she

loves you she put your name in her

username oh wow awesome hi Katy Perry

euro style icon two girls from all over

the world especially me so my question

to you is out of all of your outfits

which is your favorite and why so she’s

at this looked a little bit like collage

and her hair like she’s got the bang

she’s so cute I love it and your little

male cat um okay well there’s a lot of

outfits

can I pick my favorite talk to you yes

okay great um my favorite talk to I even

like this up yeah I was gonna say um I

love the Manish Arora carousel dress

that I wore for the MTV Europe Music

Awards because it was this dress and I

had a carousel on the skirt you can

actually turn it and it would turn so

that’s fun I love women from manager

hora who is amazing yeah and so I love

that because I love when things have

another dimension to them and also sense

of humor and then I probably would have

to say my Grammys dress from my first

gram as I ever attended which I think

was 2008 or 2009 I’m not so sure I’m

getting my years mixed up but it was a

fruit dress and it was created by the

blondes and it’s just got like every

color in the rainbow and I love that and

it’s glittery and sparkly and it was

perfect for what I was feeling at that

moment like I felt like Betty Boop meets

Chiquita banana meets Lucille Ball meets

Wow

crazy yeah fun alright the next one is

from Connick King a if you could steal a

song from Allmusic history and take it

as yours what song woo I would probably

have to take something by the Beach Boys

whether it’d probably be like God Only

Knows yeah just so perfect and simple or

I would have to pick something by Queen

of course which is my favorite either

don’t stop me now or Killer Queen which

is kind of like my you know motto like

waiting she’s a Killer Queen yeah thanks

alright the next one it’s a video

question from holy explicit Oh bleep

bleep bleep oh really dude yeah question

a Katy Perry via YouTube moderator how

was life before you became a celebrity

before your big break he’s got the

creepy Boyd that’s okay we don’t judge I

could be creepy too I mean if you saw me

in a purple wig walking down the street

you’d be like free um well it was all

about the hustle and the bustle and

sometimes it was like you know me trying

to keep up with the Joneses as they say

like you know I wanted to be seen like I

was worth it and so I was like trying to

always be ready for opportunity to

present itself and it was exciting you

know it was a little bit like not as

fast paced as it is now things are just

like so fast paced like lightning speed

and you know I know what I’m doing today

and I know what I’m doing

probably in six months you know to the

date so it wasn’t as scheduled

but I mean I think I had a little bit

more time on my hands but I think that

maybe I might have gotten into a little

bit more trouble back then because you

know what is it Isle Isle yeah and I

know hands the devil’s workshop is what

my parents said

so now I really have a lot to take care

of but um it was you know just about

like working on my craft and making sure

that it was perfect so that you know

that when finally I would get that

opportunity I’d be ready for it all

right the next one is from Becca ponds

1022 and she asks what’s the most

ridiculous rumor you’ve ever heard about

yourself but this hair isn’t real I mean

um the most ridiculous rumor I mean I

hear like things you know every once in

a while that I don’t know I mean I guess

you hear you just I don’t let too much

of it affect you and I don’t really care

too much

but of course I’m a human so like I have

a heart like emotions and being an

emotional human being is really

important to me because that is what

ultimately makes me

I hope still normal and connect to

people that are listening so it’s not

like I’m like invincible but yeah I

guess I hear things about relationship

that are like totally not true or

sometimes I’ll do an interview and you

see that a lot you know lately with like

some people just out to get people or

like they make it into this game of

telephone you know where you remember

you were sitting around in a circle and

you were hanging out with your friends

and you’d start a sentence and then by

the time it ended up towards the end it

was like I don’t even know where the

heck you got that and you know all that

is fun and games but like sometimes in

the press it’s so sad for those people

and I haven’t really gone through it so

I’m not like saying complaining or

anything but you see people that like

they’ll get this label of oh they did

this or they do this so and you and then

it comes out that they never did that or

they don’t do that but they still have

that stigma about them and I think

that’s kind of sad I think there’s a

should be a responsibility for everybody

to have you know verbal and journalistic

integrity and you know I’m not too

bothered by that because I think that

people see me and

are seeing me as an open book even more

so now especially with the second record

next question is from Triple X Selena

Gomez fan totally yeah what is one thing

you wish you could change about yourself

well if I could have a whole new face

that would be perfect that uh-huh

one thing I could change about myself um

well I have a really jacked up bottom

teeth yeah really gross don’t do it

close up and I went to the dentist to

try and get it fixed but um and I tried

that Invisalign and no offense

Invisalign but it fills the next day

like a sumo wrestler sat on your face it

sucks so I haven’t really done anything

on defense but think I’m like my lower

lip covers my chocolate I didn’t see it

thanks I just don’t grin from ear to ear

because I am encouraged no all right

this is your final question okay there’s

a video question from diehard Twihard 21

oh no as a team Edward take Katie if you

are an amazing singer know what some

advice would you give an aspiring singer

or actress you know Hollywood can be a

really hard town to try to break into

and what we’re gonna buy could you give

someone before they embark on this

incredible journey um thank you Mike how

do you answer my question well I am

answering your question right now um

okay well there’s a few things that I

really adopted as my mottos one is never

take no for an answer really have to

believe in yourself obviously sometimes

that’s hard like when you watch American

Idol auditions or X Factor auditions and

you see these people that are like are

you kidding me

I mean sometimes some people need to

just break it to you a little bit and

stuff like wasting your whole life and

maybe you have another talent but really

I started out just playing an instrument

which is really helpful because it helps

you to be able to interpret you know if

you want to be a singer or an artist or

a songwriter and interpret your craft

and then I went to the newspapers in Los

Angeles

and I would look for open mics and cafes

that would just let anybody show up and

play the guitar and sing and try out new

songs and so I went and I went to those

open mics and I would try out new

material meet other songwriters maybe do

like songwriting with them and then you

know just kind of through those type of

events you just meet lots of people but

I think there are some certain key

things that have to happen it’s first

you gotta have the talent then you got

to be prepared and then hopefully you’ll

meet the opportunity that will breed

success I just think that like everybody

is gifted and talented in their own way

whether it be singing or acting it

doesn’t even have to be that they can

you know find the cure for something

they could be the most amazing

hairdresser God knows I can’t exist

without a hairdresser or someone to beat

my face okay so I mean I could I could

but I wouldn’t like it very much and

someone has to design the clothes so we

all work together it’s like a team

effort here and you know people need all

kinds of different people not just

singers and actors but I wish anybody

luck because it is a really hard you

know to really rise to the top because

there’s thousands and thousands and tens

of thousands of people that really are

working towards it every single day but

just know that you hopefully have

something different to you know add to

the rest of us well thank you do you

have any last words for your millions of

people watching the 20 thousand people

that submitted the community yeah well

you gotta come and check out my own

personal youtube yes

Katy Perry and leave a parody and I know

that my song just came out Teenage Dream

for this as the second single so if you

want to make a parody for that I would

adore it thank you all right thank you

so much yeah so fun thank you thanks

please know that everybody
