OT: Pop Princess Rawr!
In this corner, we have convent school graduate Stefani "Lady Gaga" Germanotta. In the other corner, we have daughter of Evangelical pastors Katheryn "Katy Perry" Hudson.
Apparently, Katy didn't care much for Gaga's new video "Alejandro," where Gaga shows everything she learned at Madonna University: dancing dudes in tight outfits, cone-shaped bras, changing hairstyles, sex, and blasphemous religious imagery. Remember Madonna prancing in front of a burning cross and a saint statute miraculously coming to life just so he could make out with her in the "Like A Prayer" video back in 1989? Yeah, same kind of thing...in this one, Gaga wears a leather nun outfit and drops a rosary into her mouth. Come to think of it, "Alejandro" sounds like True Blue-era Madonna.
Now, I don't care for this sort of thing. Not only because of the potential lightning strike or eternal damnation factor, but also because it's just so boring. There is nothing "outrageous" or risky about offending Christians because it has been done so many times before: 90% of the programming on Comedy Central, a good chunk of Madonna's career, Marilyn Manson, etc.. It's not as though the Pope is going to cancel his plans to catch Gaga on tour over this.
Katy had thus to say on Twitter: "Using blasphemy as entertainment is as cheap as a comedian telling a fart joke." Given that she's engaged to Russell Brand, she ought to know! Katy's new video for "California Gurls" has yet to debut but a short preview was shown at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday night. No, there was no blasphemy per se, but Katy is seen wearing her own set of cupcake bras with strategically-placed cherries and another bra with stuff shooting out of it. Somehow, I don't think that quiiite pleases the Lord either.
