    Katy Perry Bedridden When New Album Came Out Last Year

    Instagram

    The ‘American Idol’ judge jokes she couldn’t even ‘wipe’ her own butt as she’s in a hospital after giving birth when her new studio album ‘Smile’ was released in 2020.

    Feb 10, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Katy Perry couldn’t wipe (her) own butt” on the day her album came out.
    The “American Idol” judge dropped her latest record “Smile” in August (20) the day after giving birth to daughter Daisy – her first child with fiance Orlando Bloom. And reflecting on the experience during an interview on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Monday night (08Feb21), Katy reflected on the “rollercoaster” of that time of her life.
    “I was giving birth to the greatest gift of all,” she said. “And then my album came out the next day, and I was in the hospital and I could not wipe my own butt…”
    “I was like, this is the most unusual album release day for me. And I love it.”

    Elsewhere in the interview, Katy – who sported a long brunette wig for the occasion – called baby Daisy “the best decision I’ve ever made in my life.”
    She also credited her other half Orlando – who shares son Flynn with ex-wife Miranda Kerr – for helping support her in terms of balancing a busy work life and her newborn daughter.
    “I have an incredible fiance who has done this before. He has a 10-year-old son,” she smiled. “So he’s been amazing, and we’re so in love and we’re so grateful.”
    In a previous interview, she also explained how motherhood changed her life, “I think that you realise that when you become a mother… you just have to focus on being a mom. And it’s not because you don’t love other people, it’s not because of anything besides you just want to be a great mom.”
    “I see my daughter change so much in the past five months and looking back at photos it’s like, ‘Whoa,’ ” she continued. “In a way, it’s really encouraged me to be even more present and to value every day. And all we have is this moment. That’s what’s promised is this moment and nothing else.”

    Katy Perry Claims COVID-19 Gives 'American Idol' Hopefuls Chance to Chase Dreams

    Instagram

    During an interview on ‘Live with Kelly and Ryan’, the ‘Roar’ hitmaker explains why she believes the singing competition show gains respect from other leading lights in the entertainment industry.

    Feb 9, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Katy Perry insists the COVID-19 crisis has a silver lining – it’s given wannabe performers to chase their dreams.
    The “American Idol” judge is currently at work on the latest season of the long-running talent show, which premieres on Valentine’s Day (February 14), and admits the latest talent pool, which emerged from a difficult 2020, is sweeter than ever.
    “I think we’re all living in this weird, wild, crazy moment where a lot of our dreams have been put on hold,” the new mum explained during an appearance on “Live with Kelly & Ryan”, “and I think a lot of the contestants said to themselves, when they clicked a Zoom link to audition…, ‘I have nothing to lose’.”
    “Because nothing is promised. We don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow so (they think), ‘I’m just going to go and swing for my dreams’.”

    “So that means the floodgates were open… Nobody was busy. They were just ready to take a hold of their dreams,” the “Dark Horse” singer added.

    And she’s thrilled, too, that American Idol is really commanding respect from other leading lights in the entertainment industry.
    “It (show) just keeps getting better and better,” she smiled. “I think people (in the business) trust us, and artists especially and real musicians especially, not just great singers but people with the whole package.”
    “And that really is what defines an American Idol – because it’s not called American Singer. You’ve got to check so many different boxes and that’s what these kids are coming out and doing…”.

    “I was pregnant when I was there actually, little did I know!” she laughed to People.com. “It was amazing. It brought up all these wonderful childhood memories. I’ve been going to Japan since I was 17 every year and have always really loved everything that’s been created there.”

    “In this moment of unknown, there are dependable places and characters and institutions and people, and I hope I can be one of them,” she said. “That’s what I hope for in my personal self, and even in my involvement with this collab (sic).”

    Katy Perry's 'Not the End of the World' Video Places Zooey Deschanel in a Case of Mistaken Identity

    Instagram

    On the day the promo for the new single is released, the ‘Daisies’ singer and the ‘New Girl’ star get together on Instagram to exchange stories about being mistaken for the other.

    Dec 22, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Actress Zooey Deschanel has been abducted by aliens in Katy Perry’s new music video.
    The singer has recruited her celebrity lookalike to join her in the promo for “Not the End of the World”, which dropped on Monday, December 21.
    In the fun footage, Perry is shown taking her baby girl for a walk in the park, where she crosses paths with Deschanel – prompting extra terrestrials searching for the new mum to accidentally nab the “New Girl” star instead.
    Deschanel desperately tries to convince the aliens she is not actually Perry, before giving up and playing along, dressing up in a variety of the pop star’s famed costumes and wigs, including her whipped cream bra from the California Gurls visual, as she learns the other-worldly visitors had actually saved her from their plan to destroy Earth.
    The actress eventually manages to save the planet – by pulling the plug on their Internet – and celebrates by performing “Not The End of the World” for Perry’s alien fans.

    The stars teamed up to discuss the fun project on Instagram on launch day, as they exchanged stories about being mistaken for the other.
    “For so long, we’ve had this funny friendship, because obviously people think we look alike,” Perry said, as Deschanel exclaimed, “I’ve had full conversations with people where they think I was you!”

    However, Perry then confessed to once pretending to be the Elf actress to enjoy the celebrity perks of life in Los Angeles.
    “When I first got to L.A., I went to the club a lot, and I wanted to get into the club, and I had no money, and no clout,” she shared. “I had nothing. Sometimes I would pose as you to get into the club.”
    The news wasn’t a complete surprise to Deschanel, who replied, “Well, I know this. People would say, ‘I saw you,’ but I’m such a goody-two-shoes (I didn’t tell them)!”

    It’s a collection of songs that offered a glimpse into her personal journey to rediscover herself. “It’s been two-and-a-half years of trying to find my footing. It’s so easy for me to work, work, work and avoid, but I had to go on a mental and spiritual journey,” she said in an interview.
    The singer took a break after the album release as she gave birth to her first child with fiance Orlando Bloom.
    She has since been back to work, but she admitted it was hard to leave baby Daisy home. “It’s amazing. I’m so grateful for this opportunity and for this job, and to be able to continue to inspire other people to go after their dreams,” she said. “I mean, my life just feels very full and whole. And you know, it’s hard a little bit these first couple of days away and not being able to be there.”
