Katy Perry Covers The Hollywood Reporter

A day after the release of her Alice in Wonderland -esque “Wide Awake” music video , Katy Perry graces the cover of the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter. The 27-year-old looks gorgeous on the cover: The article promises Confessions of a Pop Princess, and among them is the fact that Katy, like everyone else, struggles to keep it together sometimes: “There were times when what was going on in my personal life was so overwhelming that I had to bend over to let those tears fall straight out of my eyes and not my false eyelashes just as I’m about to go up on that ramp and sing ‘Teenage Dream.’” On whether Russell Brand inspires her music, she says, “When I write my songs, honesty has always worked for me. So if it ain’t broke, why f—ing fix it? … Nobody knows what happened [in the breakup] except the two people who are in it.” Katy also revealed plans to start her own label: “When it does come to fruition, I’m going to try and avoid the things that take away any fighting chance for an artist to have financial success.”

Drake: Dissing Rihanna in 2 Chainz Video?

Drake is back in the news for his music, though he’s courting controversy there as well, as his collaboration with 2 Chainz is believed to be a shot at Rihanna. A week after the infamous Chris Brown-Drake fight – allegedly over Rihanna – went down at New York’s W.i.P nightclub, the new video is raising eyebrows. That’s because in “No Lie,” Drake joins 2 Chainz and raps rather negatively about a girl who happens to be a Grammy winner. Makes you wonder. 2 Chainz – No Lie ft. Drake “Aww that look like what’s her name, chances are it’s what’s her name/Chances are if she was actin’ up then I f–ked her once and never f–ked again,” he raps. “She could have a Grammy, I still treat her ass like a nominee/Just need to know what that p–sy like so one time is fine with me.” Obviously, he doesn’t specifically call out Rihanna by name, but it’s hard not to speculate, given that he’s been linked to her multiple times. All we know is that Drake’s Young Money boss Lil Wayne wants to end the beef with Brown ASAP so everyone can go back to focus on the music. They can still bash each other, and certain female stars, plenty that way. Take a listen above … though it’s almost as NSFW as the Octomom porn trailer .

Phillip Phillips Speaks on Surgery

He may have spent months on the American Idol stage, earning millions of votes in order to be crowned the 11th champion in series history, but Phillip Phillips is not anxious for a break. Speaking to reporters for the first time since undergoing kidney surgery , the singer said he’s sick of recovery and excited to perform in front of fans this summer on tour. “I’ve kind of been going crazy just looking at the four walls surrounding me,” Phillips said, adding that he loves to sleep, but he’s ready to be active once again. Phillips has mostly just been “resting and recovering” since the June 7 procedure, but he can pick up a guitar now, which bodes well for his presence at the July 6 tour opener in Detroit. “I’m pretty confident,” he says of joining the nine other Idol finalists as they visit various cities over the next couple months. “I’m just going to have fun with it … It’s going to go well, I believe.”
