“Someone like Katy Perry - I like her writing because I listen to music...” — Jimmy Cliff Quote

Gaylord Perry and Willie McCovey should know each other like a book. They've been ex-teammates for years now.

Katy Perry's politics I could probably do without, though I have friends who have interacted with her that say she's very nice.

A lot of bakeries, especially cupcake stores, look like you just walked into a Katy Perry video.

I love Katy Perry, she is a wonderful pop singer.

Our audience isn't One Direction, Katy Perry, Rihanna fans.
