Perry came under fire for alleged cultural insensitivity after having big-bootied mummies dance in her tour, but she says it was all symbolism of the type of "plastic" society we live in today--referring specifically to Kim Kardashian. "As far as the mummy thing, I based it on plastic surgery," she tells the publication. "Look at someone like Kim Kardashian or Ice-T's wife, Coco. Those girls aren't African-American. But it's actually a representation of our culture wanting to be plastic, and that's why there's bandages and it's mummies."
On other performers: "I'm not, like, a crazy 'I'm gonna die for my fans type," she admits. "Some people are so dramatic about it, and you're like, 'Honestly, you're not the Second Coming. You're just an entertainer!'" One of the most likely musicians Perry could be referring to is Lady Gaga, who constantly proclaims that her fans come before absolutely anything else."I'm very grateful for fans' support, but I'm not like thirsty or desperate."
is that real?
