Katy Perry Denies Slamming Lady Gaga

The same day Lady Gaga released her "Alejandro" music video that featured herself cavorting semi-nude with a cross, Katy Perry Twittered, "Using blasphemy as entertainment is as cheap as a comedian telling a fart joke."
But the "California Gurls" singer, 25, swears she wasn't trying to diss Gaga, 24.

"Lately, I've just been seeing some things that are kind of... not something I would do, I guess," Perry -- who grew up with strict religious parents, both ministers -- explained during an interview with a French radio station Sunday.
"Like, you know when Madonna was on the cross? And, like, sometimes my boyfriend will say things that are ehhh..." she said, referring to fiance Russell Brand. "From where I come from, it's hard for me to say that...."

"[People say] I'm a very hypocritical person, 'How do you say that and [sing], 'I Kissed a Girl'?" she went on. "Spirituality and sexuality are two separate things. When you decide to put it into the same subject, it gets interesting for some people."
Perry insists she's a huge Gaga supporter.

"Everyone knows... I've said 100 times on my Twitter: I'm one of the biggest Lady Gaga and Madonna and Russell Brand fans," she said. "Some people have different view points."
Tell Us What You Think
24They're both krazy singers!!!!!
I don't care for Katy or her songs much, Lady Gaga on the other hand isn't too bad. Her sons and videos don't match, and I really don't understand her videos at all. However I have a 7 year old daughter that loves her and with Gaga being new and hot on the charts she targets the younger population and her videos are something I refuse to let my daughter watch. I think some of these artists need to remember the ages they are filtering to and think if they would want their own children to see the things they are doing in their videos. Would Gaga want her son or daughter (when she has them) want to see this? The video said TV14 but I wouldn't let my daughter watch a female butt hump a guy even at that age, it made me look away! Like someone had already said, people have different opinions.
oh you guys. You say with gaga "ITS ALREADY BEEN DONE" but I think gaga and Madonna can both do videos that have religion and be considered different. You guys are real idiots if you really use that as an excuse especially considering if you looks through all the rap/alternative/rock music videos they will all look almost exactly the same according to genre. Get over yourselves. I'm not huge on Lady Gaga and didnt like the video much myself but "Oh madonna did it! She's right!" I suppose you must say that about all of Ushers videos and...well any pop star of this day. Face it, gaga is as original you are going to get. Dont complain and enjoy the wierd.
haha what a hypocrite. She defends herself with the most convenient self righteous excuses. I love Katy's music and gaga's just about evenly but really Katy? REALLY? I wouldnt say your videos are as... blasphemous but I suppose morally they arent any better. Just say you didnt like it and dont make excuses lol.
I agree with Katy, Lady GaGa has amazing talent and she doesn't need to be using blasphemy for music videos.
i absolutely think katy perry is being a hypocrite. she claims she is all "holy" but really, what "holy" person sings a song about girl on girl kissing? isn't that AGAINST her religion?? the fact that she even mentions and even acknowledges that people are calling her a hypocrite means that she KNOWS she is being one! she just has a big mouth and regrets saying that about gaga.
I think Katy is right at this time. I'm GaGa's biggest fan too but don't like her new video at all. I think she's copying Madonna . I remember someone asked her "Do you believe in God?" and she answered " Yes. And the Devil"
She does love Gaga, but just because she loves her doesn't mean that she can't disagree with her. Gaga's done some things I didn't enjoy either, it's normal.
I like her, I like Gaga. Some of those hardcore Gaga fans need to calm down and get over it. Not everybody is going to agree with everything Gaga does.
i think katty perry is wae jelous of gaga couz shez a ugly rat that needs a beat the use less mole man gagaz wae wae betta than yew ass hole
Not really a Katy Perry fan --but i 100% agree with her. I must have watched the bad romance video 1 mill times --but i won't be doing the same for this one.
They both have interests/shares? in Pretty Records, so they must get along to a degree? Or maybe not?
She's right.. Spirituality and sexuality are two different topics. Gaga is just madonna part two. I like her music, but she's not doing anything unique in the videos.
The smurfs didn't have blue hair. They had blue skin.
Sounds like convienent morality to me!
I'm with Katy. I'm a big GaGa fan, but didn't care much for her last two vids. Her music is good enough by itself that she doesn't have to resort to stuff that makes people want to hurl when they see it.
Sorry but Katy needs to lose the blue wig and tone it down before she has the right to critique anyone else. I honestly don't think a guy would want to fall for anyone who looked like Smurfette.

Gaga must be good because she is making these other girls make catty and jealous remarks about her. They are worried about her talent.
OK Smurf... whats up with the blue wig??
