Oh, behave! That dated reference is still relevant right?

It must really suck to be Katy Perry.

Although the rest of America has already been hypnotized by Katy Perry’s enormous breast, one brave lesbian continues to soldier on as our last remaining hope against a bleak dystopian future where insipid pop jingles are embraced by the masses, while greater works are relegated to  bargain bin status (Too late, we’re already there).

Jill Sobule, who’s most famous for contributing “Supermodel” to the Clueless lexicon, has officially drawn a line in the sand (after months of politically correct posturing) regarding the shared namesake of “I Kissed A Girl”.

“When Katy Perry’s version came out I started getting tons of inquiries about what I thought,” she told online magazine The Rumpus. “Some folks (and protective friends) were angry, and wondered why she took my title and made it into this kind of ‘girls gone wild’ thing.”

The militant feminist claimed that she avoided criticizing the opportunistic pop starlet out of fear of appearing “bitter or petty”, but of course none of that stopped Sobule from throwing the verbal equivalent of a haymaker.

“Okay, maybe, if I really think about it, there were a few jealous and pissed off moments,” she said. “So here goes, for the first time in an interview: F*ck you Katy Perry, you f*cking stupid, maybe ‘not good for the gays,’ title thieving, haven’t heard much else, so not quite sure if you’re talented, f*cking little slut.”

I guess Perry will have to find solace in her millions of dollars and legions of drunken sorority girl fans.

Perry has the charisma of a flamboyant gay man.

Look into my eyes. You are getting very sleepy.Katy Perry, the owner of the most baffling hit singles since “Who Let the Dogs Out?”, was recently compared to deceased glam icon, Freddie Mercury, by his former bandmate Brian May.

“I walked in and there was Katy Perry and a hot young band tearing it up to an audience who responded to every note, and seldom sat down,” May wrote on his blog. “No clicks, no backing tracks, no mime show…no huge production…no pretence. Just a really great young singer and artist, pouring her heart out.”

As disturbing as it might be to know that a geriatric blogs the confused Queen guitarist went on to praise Perry for her honest portrayal of the human condition.

“But the best thing of all is her command of mood,” May said. “Katy sings and talks lightly, full of cheeky humor, but at the drop of a hat…before you realize it’s happened…she has changed gear and is singing a serious song with a natural honesty and emotion…and you are in her grip. She’s a true entertainer.”

Yeah, I’d probably think the same thing if I were caught staring at her enormous breast for a prolonged period of time. Sh*t, I might even think I was poultry by show’s end.

In other related news, the Gay-for-pay performer further elaborated on her intentions to consummate a relationship with another woman.

“I get hit on when I go to gay clubs, but I hit on women too. Beautiful ones. I’m attracted to cool, alternative women,” she allegedly told British newspaper The Sunday Times. “But I’d only ever have a drink with them. I’m such a tease!”

Katy Perry On Tour

Still haven’t gotten enough of girl-on-girl anthem “I Kissed A Girl”?

Well, you’re just in luck, because Katy Perry has decided to cling to her fleeting moments of fame by further wearing out her long drawn out welcome with an extended tour.

Catch the bi-curious singer performing in Houston, Texas, Birmingham, Alabama, and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

Make it stop! Please, make it stop!

Mmmm, look at the talent on that one.

There have been many words used over the years to describe the Grammys, but entertaining has never been one of them.

CBS continued this proud tradition on Sunday with an award show so excruciating to watch that it made one long for the days of the Spanish Inquisition.

Awkward stage banter, clumsy self-promotion, and substandard music performances ruled the night, as an endless parade of hackneyed talent, one after the other, marched onto the stage.

Whether it was Katy Perry’s unsynchronized choreography, yet another cliché rock/rap collaboration (this time courtesy of Chris Martin and Kanye West), or the Annual Stevie Wonder “Superstition” Duet with the latest pop flavor of the month, it was not a good time to be a fan of music.

Of course the biggest travesty of the night came when Radiohead were snubbed for the second time, in favor of an album that was decent, but not even close to being in the same league as In Rainbows.

The only thing that could have been worse was if Coldplay somehow took home Best Rock Album and Song of the Year honors. Oh wait, that did happen.

What the hell is wrong with you people? Do you have no shame?

The night’s only saving grace came from my prediction of Alison Krauss and Robert Plant’s dominance, thus insuring my survival as a $1.99 per minute telephone psychic.

Other notable winners included Kings of Leon, the Mars Volta, and Best New Artist, Adele, who received Grammy’s time-honored kiss of death.
