Katy Perry feels so unimportant that no one seemed to realize just how toxic she is to the industry. Glad to see people are waking up to her atrocities.
"Status quo" really is the best way to describe her. In a Katy Perry world people would still think the planet is flat. The article nailed her better than Dr Luke ever did
Her brand is the very essence of reassuring, non-threatening stagnancy. She encapsulates that remaining, silent majority that doesn't like to be challenged at all, ever, for any reason — not by women, not by music, not by the weather, not by anything.
But against a backdrop of female pop stars who push the boundaries of what a woman can do and say and get away with, Katy Perry remains a comforting, nonthreatening attachment object. She is a giant woobie in a time of great change. She is a blank slate, a soothing emotional day spa for those who prefer easy answers. She's a void with swappable wigs, a tasty nothingburger.
Katy Perry is as conflicted and complex as a pumpkin-spice rug-and-room deodorizer. She doesn't have a look. She never changes. The Katy Perry of 2010 is the same as the Katy Perry of 2015. Her hair color is different here and there. That's it. She wears tight, glittery, rainbow-colored dresses and black eyeliner. Always and forever a Super Star Barbie circa 1988.
Katy Perry is Mariah Carey without the amazing voice or the bubbly script written in a glitter pen. Katy Perry is Britney Spears without the dance moves and the natural bubbly appeal and the nervous breakdown. Katy Perry is Kate Bush without the everything.
She's not creating stuff that moves her or wells up from within her. She's doing simple math. This is why her sound is the audio version of something you'd buy on a sale rack at Target.
Katy Perry represents the status quo. She reminds us that all of the progress we've made could still disappear into thin air at any moment. Her steady, uncomplicated candy-coated persona, her lady sound that never steps on any toes, offer a safe place to hide out until the storm passes and everything goes back to the way it was before.

-This year she was sentenced to a lifetime conservatorship (per TMZ)
-This year her father picked out her new boyfriend and met him before she did (per TMZ). If you randomly picked out a woman on the streets of Iran, she'd probably have more rights

When watching the trailer for Joel and Ethan Coen's upcoming film Hail, Caesar!, one performer in particular stands out. It's not Josh Brolin, though he gives bluster a stylish new vibe. It's not Channing Tatum, gorgeous and fun but ultimately in a role that looks like a riff on Channing Tatum. It's not even Tilda Swinton, who looks kind of tame in comparison to her work in Snowpiercer and The Grand Budapest Hotel.
No, the standout of the Coens' 1950s showbiz screwball comedy seems to be none other than Scarlett Johansson, rocking a lush mid-Atlantic accent and carrying herself like a dame of the cinema. For those more used to the actress' nondescript leading lady roles of the mid-2000s in movies like The Nanny Diaries and The Other Boleyn Girl, the fullness of this characterization would come as a shock.
But Johansson left that version of herself behind some time ago. Somewhere along the way, she became one of our finest working actresses. She dazzled in movies like Don Jon and Under the Skin. Even when just a voice, like in 2013's Her or the trailer for the new live-action The Jungle Book, she manages to fill every line with character.
What changed? When did Johansson go from leading lady of slight talent to character actress? We can pinpoint it to the day: Jan. 24, 2010. That was the day the 2010 revival of A View From the Bridge opened on Broadway. That was the moment Johansson stopped being pigeonholed as a sex symbol and was finally allowed to be an artist.
Scarlett not having any Oscars (even nominations) or Golden Globes despite having SO MANY acclaimed performances (especially in the last few years) is just.
