KATY PERRY

My article is about...
Californian Katy Perry, 24, is the star of the moment. She had two hits: "I Kissed a Girl", which was about her attraction for another woman, but Katy herself isn't gay; and "Hot'n'Cold", which was about her problematic boyfriend. Both songs come from her album, "One of the Boys", which is "triple platinum" in the United States.
In addition to her music, Katy Perry is famous for her colorful clothes. Katy Perry's childhood probably wasn't typical for a pop star. Her parents are Christians and professional ministers. Katy, in fact, began singing in church. At first she wanted to be a gospel and country singer and she recorded her first album at the age of 15. She used her real name, Katy Hudson. After this Katy worked on various projects. After this she signed with Capital Records. And it was at this point that she changed her name to Katy Perry as "Katy Hudson".
