Katy Perry
What makes a fried nugget so good that it causes a songstress to cram her mouth full with them and create international headlines?
Veteran vocalist shows she can sing in English like nobody’s business in preview for Japanese release of animated musical Sing.
Ever since she fired whipped cream from her boobs, the world has been aware that Katy Perry isn’t afraid of crazy costumes. Compared to that, her outfits for her half-time performance at the Super Bowl XLIX were actually comparatively tame. And yet, dancing sharks aside, one in particular has still sparked interest online with people spotting similarities between it and a multitude of other unexpected things.
