Katy Perry Inauguration Performance: Watch Now!

Appropriately dressed (or maybe inappropriately, given the audience) in a tight red, white and blue outfit, Katy Perry rocked the 2013 Kids’ Inaugural Concert Saturday. “I’m very proud to be here and to see the Obamas and the Bidens here for four more years,” Perry said during her star-spangled performance in D.C. Katy Perry – Wide Awake (Inauguration 2013) First Lady Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia were dancing and throwing their hands up as the pop star sang in honor of America’s military families. Those families, Michelle noted, are who this nation is all about. “Now, inauguration is a pretty big deal,” said the First Lady. “But I have to tell you that my very favorite part of this entire weekend is being right here with all of you.” Watch three more songs performed by Katy Perry below: Katy Perry – Teenage Dream (Inauguration 2013) Katy Perry – Part of Me (Inauguration 2013) Katy Perry – Firework (Inauguration 2013)

Lena Dunham Fat Joke: Racist?

About a week ago, Howard Stern ranted that Lena Dunham was fat and watching her engaged in sex scenes was akin to rape. He then apologized for the diatribe and the Girls star even called in to Stern’s radio show on Wednesday and the beef was squashed. But did a joke by Dunham inadvertently create a new one? Defending her body type, the actress said: “I’m not super-thin, but I’m thin for, like, Detroit.” And that set off Yesha Callahan, a writer for Don’t Sleep! on BET. As someone with ties to Michigan, Callahan said: “Detroit isn’t known for its population of white people…. She doesn’t want to be judged for her size, so she shouldn’t judge an entire city on theirs.” It’s a fair point. But also sort of a funny line, right? Was it also a racist one? You tell us: Was Lena Dunham’s Detroit comment offensive to African-Americans?   Yes, how inappropriate! No, how hilarious! View Poll »
