KATY PERRY USED TO BE CHRISTIAN?

Did everyone know that Katy Perry (whose song "I Kissed A Girl" has been number one for 7 weeks) started out as a Christian singer?  Because I did not.   But thanks to Eric and his emailing prowess, I'm on the case!  Beliefnet.com says…

You call her Katy Perry, we call her Katy Hudson, the singer who at the tender age of 16 released her self-titled debut album in the Christian marketplace.You got it. Katy Perry, whose single "I Kissed A Girl" is tearing up the Billboard charts, got her start in the Christian industry.The daughter of two conservative preachers, Katy Hudson signed with Red Hill Records and in 2001 released an album filled with Christian pop/rock radio-friendly songs. She even toured with Phil Joel.Red Hill Records folded. Somewhere along the way changed her name to Katy Perry, whether to avoid confusion with actress Kate Hudson or to shed her Christian association, I don't know, but in 2004 she went on to become an in-house vocalist for the production team, The Matrix, whose credits include Avril Lavigne and Britney Spears.

Fascinating, yes?  More to the point, look at that kick ass picture one of the readers sent in of her kissing Katy at the Warped Tour in St. Louis.  Was there any doubt that the readers here are sexy?  She actually sent it in last week but I’ve been staring at her breasts the whole time, selfishly not posting it.  I’ve spent so many hours doing it now, I think were supposed to get married.  I'm hoping for the spring.
