Katy Perry and Kara Diogaurdi Disagree on American Idol
Singer Katy Perry and judge Kara Diogaurdi did not seem to get along very well on American Idol. They kept disagreeing over which contestants should move on to the next round. At one point Katy said she wanted to throw her coke in Kara's face. Take a look:
Katy Perry posted this photo of her fabulous manicure for the EMAs yesterday, saying "Diamonds ARE girl best friend..." That must have taken quite a while to get all the rhinestones on each nail.
YouTube Live debuted today. It was YouTube's first ever live event. The 90-minute show was a mix of comedy and music and included some of the familiar faces seen on YouTube over the past several years. It was a slickly produced and entertaining show with something to offer for everyone. YouTube regulars probably recognized most all of the performers. They included Lisa Nova, Chad Vader, William Sledd, Esmee Denters, Julia Nunes and Tay Zonday to name a few. It was good to see Juan Mann and his Free Hugs back again along with the Sick Puppies band performing the "All the Same" song from the popular Free Huggs video. Bo Burnham's YouTube song was very funny. Queen Rania of Jordan was also awarded the first YouTube Visionary Award as we reported earlier.
Singer Kate Perry was one of the hosts of YouTube Live and she got the show off to a great start with an energetic performance of her latest single "Hot 'N Cold" at the opening. Here's the clip. Note: You can catch all the YouTube Live videos here.
There may be a celebrity doll trend brewing. Friday we discussed an Angelina Jolie doll and now Billboard is reporting that a limited edition Kate Perry doll will be released next week. Kate Perry's song "I Kissed a Girl" was a big hit this summer.
Perry's "I Kissed A Girl" topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart this summer. "It makes good sense for Katy who is a blossoming global pop culture superstar," said Bob Semanovich, the L.A. based svp, marketing, for Perry's label Capitol Music Group. "It's a perfect extension of her brand as she's music, fashion and everything pop culture."
The doll, which retails for $49.99, is similar to the one seen in Perry's video for "U.R. So Gay," the first single off her second album, "One of the Boys". New York based toy maker Integrity Toys produced both sets of dolls and says it is only making 500. Of that number, roughly 150 will be distributed within the record industry to tastemakers, media and other interested parties.
Jason Wu, creative director for Integrity Toys, told Billbord he expects the 500 dolls to sell out within two days. The order page can be found here. (via Perez Hilton)
