The 21-year-old actress was on Jimmy Kimmel, where she explained that she’s too embarrassed to demand VIP treatment unlike her buddy Katy Perry, who led their group through the crowds to the best area.

On Monday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kristen said: “I have a buddy who has absolutely no qualms being in front of millions of people. I’m not dropping – I feel like a weirdo right now – I was with Katy Perry.

“I walked behind her through the entire [crowd]… she wanted to sit up front. She’s like, ‘Hey, you want to go watch the Tupac stuff? It will be awesome.’ I was like, ‘Yeah!’ “The star, who is promoting her new movie ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’, felt really embarrassed when she was walking through the crowd.“And then suddenly I was like, ‘What are you doing to me? Ah!’,” she recalled. “And I suddenly had to put my hat down, because we were literally like Moses parting the waves of Coachella getting to the front. I was like, ‘Where am I right now?’”

Of how Kristen hid in the ‘Last Friday Night’ star’s shadow, Kimmel joked: “You were in Katy Perry’s wake?” To which Kristen joked: “I was like, her entourage. I was leading her entourage.”

But Kristen is not fazed, as it worked for her and when the host suggested using Katy Perry in the future to hide out from fans and go “incognito”, she said: “Exactly. No-one looks at you, it’s perfect!”

Walsh, who has been a permanent fixture on the show’s judging panel since it began in 2004, let slip to Irish Herald that Perry is one of the favourites to take over from Rowland in this year’s show.

He also revealed the identities of a further four candidates for the role. They are former Pussycat Doll and current X Factor USA presenter, Nicole Scherzinger, Spice Girls‘ Mel B, Anastasia and Sharon Osbourne, who was a judge on the first four series.

Louis Walsh told the paper:

These are the five people that they’re looking in terms of a replacement for Kelly. I’ve worked with Nicole and Katy before and I would love to work with them again, they were fantastic. Mel B has done the X Factor Australia and could easily do it in Britain as she knows the format so well.

Katy – whose new bloke Rob Aackroyd was spotted leaving her house in the States – said: “I’ve always wanted to make something like an acoustic record.

“My favourite record is Patty Griffin’s Flaming Red. I discovered it when I was in Nashville.

“I definitely want to do a Patty Griffin-esque thing at some point. It’s something that I’m really excited about because I know I can do it and I haven’t really played that card yet.”

Katy’s first album was influenced by the gospel music she grew up listening to, but country is new territory for her.

But her new tunes won’t have much in common with the music her fella Rob plays – as a guitarist for Florence And The Machine.

As of now, the entire cast that lent their voices to the Smurf characters in the first film are returning for the sequel, and some additional big names are throwing their names on to the cast list as well. Collider claims that talented actors like Neil Patrick Harris, Jayma Mays, Hank Azaria, and Katy Perry will be joined by Brendan Gleeson (In Bruges), Christina Ricci (Black Snake Moan), and J.B. Smoove (Curb Your Enthusiasm).

The Hollywood Reporter explains what characters the three actors will play in the sequel. Ricci will voice Vexy, Smurfette’s (Perry) evil counterpart. Smoove will voice a character that will be introduced in the sequel named Hackus who is supposed to be much naughtier than the other Smurfs. Given Smoove’s film roles and writing credits, ‘naughty’ is definitely a fitting character attribute. Gleeson will be the only of the three new additions to provide himself as a physical actor. He will portray Victor Doyle, Harris’ character’s stepfather.

The Smurfs director Raja Gosnell is set to return for the sequel and the returning voices include; Sofia Vergara, Jonathan Winters, Alan Cumming, Fred Armisen, George Lopez, Anton Yelchin and John Oliver.

The pop star, who’s the first performer booked for the show, last played the MMVAs in 2010, just as her ability to lactate Cool Whipbecame a delicious element of her pop legacy. This time, it seems she’ll be at the show to remind wristband-holders, TV viewers, and Queen Street gawkers to check out her upcoming 3-D concert movie,Katy Perry: Part of Me, which is due out July 5 — though we expect a few thousand pairs of specs won’t be required for an eye-popping MMVA spectacle. A nice dress — and maybe some pyrotechnic undergarments — should be adequate.

Further performers will be rolled out in the weeks leading up to the show, which will be broadcast live from MuchMusic’s Toronto HQ, Sunday, June 17 at 9 p.m. ET.

As you may already know, fan favorite Colton Dixon was eliminated on Thursday’s eliminationepisode. It was a shock to see Colton get eliminated, considering that he had never been in the bottom three before. Still, he took it like a champ.

Now, we are left with Elise Testone, Jessica Sanchez, Joshua Ledet, Hollie Cavanagh, Skylar Laine and Phillip Phillips remaining in the competition.

“Katy’s been trying to get him back!” a close Perry pal tells Us Weekly of the eight-time Grammy nominee, 27. “She’s a lost soul right now.”

What led to the singer’s change of heart? A solo trip to India April 3 — the same place where she wed Brand, 36, in 2010. “She’d already been missing Russell,” an insider explains. “Being back there stirred up even more old feelings.”

Perry may pine for her ex, but a friend of the singer tells Us a reconciliation with the British comic — who had a series of flings in the wake of filing for divorce December 30 — is a long shot.

“Right now, Katy and Russell are trying to get to the point where they can at least be friends,” says a Perry pal.

The 27-year-old explains that the project was only somewhat inspired by other musicians who’ve given fans a peek at their life backstage, such as Madonna in “Truth or Dare” or Justin Bieber in “Never Say Never.” “I wanted to document the tour, because when we started to book these really big venues, I felt like I was going all in. And I figured that by the end of it I’d be bankrupt or else I’d look like the smartest music businesswoman of my age, and I thought either outcome would be interesting,” the recently divorced Perry reveals. “More than that, though, I wanted to show people this parade that surrounds me … I wanted them to see the engine. I think sometimes they look at me and wonder, How is it possible that she continues to have this kind of success? Why are the stars so aligned for her? But, while that is a factor, it’s not the whole story. I also work my tail off! And, of course, I wanted people to be able to experience the tour and all the joy it brought, which is why we shot it in 3D.”Eventually, Katy says, she plans to add other non-music films to her resume. In fact, it would have happened already, but the timing just wasn’t right. “There was a time when I was going to be involved in ‘The Help’ — just a small part, I wasn’t going to be Emma Stone or anything — but I couldn’t because the shooting schedule conflicted with the release of my record. And I was upset about that; I knew it was going to be an important film. Not that I need to do drama first, but I do want to do something that makes a strong impression. You don’t really get off the hook being a musician first … I feel like the stakes are really high.” The Santa Barbara, California-native has already appeared on a couple of sitcoms, “How I Met Your Mother” and “Raising Hope,” and provided the voice of Smurfette in the animated movie “The Smurfs” last summer. When she acts again, it’ll likely be in the realm of comedy. “I love making people laugh, even if it means I’ll never get another date again. My heroes in film are women like Kristen Wiig, Tina Fey, and Amy Poehler,” she confesses. “They’re gorgeous, but they’re confident enough to be able to laugh at themselves.”

The only drawback to Katy crossing over into acting is that she’ll be, well, thrusting herself further into the public spotlight. As the singer/songwriter readily admits, fame is the part of her job she dislikes the most. “I’m tired of being famous already!” she declares. “But I’m not tired of creating. Fame is, I think, just a disgusting by-product of what I do. It’s quite a delicate creature — it’s a wild animal of sorts. It can love you, and then it can attack you. I still want to be as approachable and relatable as possible — when I meet fans and they’re crying, I’ll say, ‘Calm down, there’s nothing to cry about. I’m not going to bite you or attack you or grant you three wishes. Let’s just hang out and have a good time.’ But really, I stopped focusing on what other people think a while ago. If you try to be everything to everyone, you’ll only end up completely confused.”

The singer is desperate to jump into Doc Brown’s DeLorean so she can change her decision to marry.

She said: “I’d like to use a time machine and go back to a specific date, please.”

Despite being spotted with model Baptiste Giabiconi, Katy insisted she has been living like a nun. She added: “I feel like an 80-year-old in an assisted-living condo.”

She also wants to sing miserable songs like The Smiths.

She said: “My music is about to get real f****** dark.

“You’d never see my face because my hair would be in it.”

Much like her pop-star peers, Katy Perry cites Madonna as a big influence, especially on her “Part of Me” 3-D concert movie, which hits theaters July 5, which was partially inspired by the Queen of Pop’s 1991 film “Truth or Dare.”

In a recent interview with Teen Vogue, the always-colorful starlet spoke about her upcoming big-screen adventure and how “Truth or Dare” led to its creation.

“Madonna is everything to me, and that movie is amazing, because it caught her at a time when she was a bit more vulnerable,” Perry said of the film, which chronicled the icon’s Blond Ambition Tour. “I wanted to do that too, to capture a snapshot of who I am now so that I can remind myself what I’ve lost if I ever do become totally jaded.”The topics covered in “Part of Me” include the singer’s strict, religious upbringing, being dropped from her label early in her career and her candy-coated California Dreams Tour. Perry, who spent much of 2011 and early 2012 on the trek, explained that her interest in documenting her life began even before the tour started.

“When we started to book these really big venues, I felt like I was going all in,” she said. “And I figured that by the end of it, I’d be bankrupt, or else I’d look like the smartest music businesswoman of my age, and I thought either outcome would be interesting.”

More importantly, the chart-topper wanted the general public to see how the Katy Perry machine really works.

On Tuesday, the trailer for the anticipated flick surfaced, appeasing Katy Cats for the time being. In the two-minute preview, Katy’s rise to stardom remains a key theme of the film as flashback footage and photos of the singer’s younger days is shown.

“Katy wanted to buy some ethnic stuff and she mentioned that to Priyanka when they met. So PC decided to take her shopping. Since Katy is known for her unconventional fashion style, she returned with loads of ethnic Indian jewellery like armlets, trinklets and earrings,” says a member of PC’s entourage.PC had met Katy a day after their IPL performance. “Not many people know that both PC and Katy are represented by the international talent management company, CAA. Plus, they both bonded over music. They were overheard talking about PC’s upcoming international album too,” adds the member, on the condition of anonymity. Apparently, the two also did an exclusive photo shoot together for a magazine.

When contacted, Priyanka, who is busy shooting for Krrish 3 in Hyderabad, was unavailable for comment. But her spokesperson confirmed that she went on a splurging spree with Katy, saying, “Yes, they went out shopping and had a great time together.”

Interestingly, when Katy was on her way back to the hotel, Priyanka sprung a bit of a surprise on her, when she hailed an auto and jumped into the driver’s seat.

The actor then took the singer, who first wore a horrified-look on her face, for a short, fun ride around the hotel’s porch.

As all the barely con- cealed double-takes attest, Katy is already about as famous as a girl can get. But this summer, the newly single 27-year-old is going to become even more ubiquitous, thanks to the big-screen release of Katy Perry: Part of Me, a documentary that showcases the incredible performances—and behind-the-scenes drama—of her California Dreams tour. “One of my main reasons for doing this is that people think of me as though I’m Dorothy in the ruby slippers,” she says, implicitly likening her career to the plot of The Wizard of Oz. “I want them to see everything else that’s involved. Yes, I am her, but at the end of it all, I’m also the guy behind the curtain.” Indeed: While Katy, like Dorothy, was once a sweet, sheltered girl with a gorgeous singing voice, it didn’t take a tornado to drag her to the big city—she moved to L.A. at seventeen and cycled through no fewer than four record labels before breaking big with One of the Boys in 2008. “My life is crazy now,” she admits. “When you get to this level, there’s a lot that’s not real, but I really haven’t changed.”

TEEN VOGUE: Teenage Dream was a juggernaut—you matched Michael Jackson’s Hot 100 record for the most number one songs off a single album, and then “Part of Me,” a new song off the special edition, debuted at the top of the chart. Is it still exciting to get that kind of response?KATY PERRY: Of course! I’m not like, “Ugh, number one again.” It’s funny, though—my label gets so caught up in the statistics, just because they’re excited. But for me, I don’t need to grind it into anyone’s head that I’m popular. If you like my music, great, and if you don’t, whatever. I’m going to keep making it either way. This does feel a bit like the record that never ends. But I wanted to release The Complete Confection for the hard-core fan who wants everything: three new songs, the remixes, and it’s all in a cute little package.

TEEN VOGUE: Were you thinking along those same lines when you decided to make the movie?

KATY PERRY: I wanted to document the tour, because when we started to book these really big venues, I felt like I was going all in. And I figured that by the end of it I’d be bankrupt or else I’d look like the smartest music businesswoman of my age, and I thought either outcome would be interesting. More than that, though, I wanted to show people this parade that surrounds me … I wanted them to see the engine. I think sometimes they look at me and wonder, How is it possible that she continues to have this kind of success? Why are the stars so aligned for her? But, while that is a factor, it’s not the whole story. I also work my tail off! And, of course, I wanted people to be able to experience the tour and all the joy it brought, which is why we shot it in 3-D. And this is amazing 3-D.It’s definitely not just a marketing tool.

TEEN VOGUE: Were you inspired by other pop documentaries, like Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never or Madonna’s Truth or Dare?

KATY PERRY: A little.Madonna is everything to me, and that movie is amazing because it caught her at a time when she was a bit more vulnerable. I wanted to do that too, to capture a snapshot of who I am now so that I can remind myself what I’ve lost if I ever do become totally jaded. [Laughs]

TEEN VOGUE: I bet you’ll be able to keep it together.

KATY PERRY: I hope so. If not, I’m sure my sister and my brother and my best friends will kick my butt.TEEN VOGUE: That’s what friends are for, right?

KATY PERRY: My friends are so awesome and hilarious. They’re the same friends I’ve had since I first moved to L.A., and they can make anything fun. We could literally be in a padded room with no furniture and we’d be able to have a dance party, play games, and just have the best conversation ever.

TEEN VOGUE: You’re really close with actress Shannon Woodward, from Raising Hope. Was it her idea for you to appear on her show?

KATY PERRY: Yeah, she was like, If you ever want to do anything,let me know—we write for you all the time. I wanted to be unrecognizable. I love making people laugh, even if it means I’ll never get another date again. My heroes in film are women like Kristen Wiig, Tina Fey, and Amy Poehler: They’re gorgeous, but they’re confident enough to be able to laugh at themselves.

TEEN VOGUE: It seems like acting is something that really interests you. Are you looking to make a movie anytime soon?

KATY PERRY: I would love to. There was a time when I was going to be involved in The Help—just a small part, I wasn’t going to be Emma Stone or anything—but I couldn’t because the shooting schedule conflicted with the release of my record(omg!!! i would have died tbh). And I was upset about that; I knew it was going to be an important film. Not that I need to do drama first, but I do want to do something that makes a strong impression. You don’t really get off the hook being a musician first … I feel like the stakes are really high.

TEEN VOGUE: You occasionally permit other artists to recordsongs that you co-wrote. Was it hard to watch Kelly Clarkson have a hit with “I Do Not Hook Up”?

KATY PERRY: No. Kelly is a fantastic person to interpret anyone’s work, and honestly,I consider myself a songwriter first and foremost. If I stay true to myself, I’m not going to run out of songs!

TEEN VOGUE: Yet you’re a little more glamorous than the average singer-songwriter….

KATY PERRY: I don’t like to take fashion too seriously. I love it, and I am so grateful when big brands want to associate with me, but mostly I just want to take chances and have fun and truly live. And sometimes that means wearing some ridiculous, cat-inspired outfit rather than whatever happens to be in this season.

TEEN VOGUE: You’ve worn a lot of vintage-pinup-type ensembles in the past. Are there particular women who are influencing your look now?

KATY PERRY: Definitely. I love Agyness Deyn, Chloë Sevigny, Daphne Guinness, Natalie Wood, Judy Jetson, and Wonder Woman.

TEEN VOGUE: That’s quite a list. What do you think they have in common?

KATY PERRY: Personal style, probably. And strength. They have the ability to adapt and evolve and change. Like, I’m still doing the pinup thing, but now when I do it, I want to be the pinup of the future, like Rachael in Blade Runner. But I’ve always been quirky—it probably started when I was nine years old, and my father used to wake me up at seven every Saturday morning to take me to garage sales. I couldn’t afford the clothes that the other girls at school were wearing, so instead I looked for things that were unique to me.

TEEN VOGUE: Your looks—and your life—have been the subject of so much scrutiny. Do you ever see yourself getting tired of being famous?

KATY PERRY: I’m tired of being famous already! But I’m not tired of creating. Fame is, I think, just a disgusting by-product of what I do. It’s quite a delicate creature— it’s a wild animal of sorts. It can love you, and then it can attack you. I still want to be as approachable and relatable as possible—when I meet fans and they’re crying, I’ll say, “Calm down, there’s nothing to cry about. I’m not going to bite you or attack you or grant you three wishes. Let’s just hang out and have a good time.” But really, I stopped focusing on what other people think a while ago (h8rs stay mad!!!). If you try to be everything to everyone, you’ll only end up completely confused.

The “Part of Me” singer threw fans for a loop Wednesday by tweeting an ambiguous message about her current relationship status.

“Just ate a ton of garlic, heard it’s an immune booster #hopeitwerks #mandeflecter #singleandsatisfied,” she wrote, sneaking in the last phrase as a subtle jab at rumors she’s currently dating French model Baptiste Giabiconi.

Perry, 27, and Giabiconi, 22, reportedly the world’s highest-paid male model, were first spotted gallavanting together throughout Paris during fashion week.

And on Sunday, Giabiconi fueled rumors that the two are currently dating by tweeting a shot of the two of them looking cozy with the caption “hey my #littlekats u look So amazing in this pics !”According to Us Weekly, the two are currently enjoying their time together but aren’t looking for anything serious.

“This is purely a fling,” a friend of Perry told the magazine. “She feels set free, and she loves having fun with a hot guy!”

And the sentiments are mutual.

“She’s hot,” Giabiconi once said of his rumored girlfriend in a 2011 interview.

Perry’s ex-husband, comedian Russell Brand, hasn’t wasted any time moving on himself.

The 36-year-old actor reportedly had his matching tattoo with Perry removed earlier this month, and is said to be dating model Nikolett Barabas.

“He’s amazing, so funny; he’s beautiful,” Barabas told Life & Style. “I like being with him. He’s amazing, so amazing. He’s a good person.”

The singer’s visual for new single ‘Part of Me’ sees her joining the US Marines after discovering that her partner had cheated on her.

However, Naomi Wolf – who admitted that she used to be a fan of Perry – has criticized the star for the pro-military message included in the video.

Wolf stated on her official Facebook page:”Have you all seen the Katy Perry marines video? It is a total piece of propaganda for the Marines… I really want to find out if she was paid by them for making it… it is truly shameful.

“I would suggest a boycott of this singer who I really liked – if you are as offended at this glorification of violence as I am.”

‘Part of Me’ reached number one in the US and UK upon its release and is included as one of three new tracks on Perry’s new repackaged albumTeenage Dream: The Complete Confection.
