“I Kissed A Girl” singer Katy Perry makes quite a few revelations in her October interview in Blender magazine. For one thing, she claims her wild ex-hippy mom, Mary Hudson, dated rock legend Jimi Hendrix. Katy says her mom ran away from home, toured the world, and hooked up with the guitarist in Spain when he "just came up to her in a club and picked her out."
Katy says her dad was an LSD dealer, whose friendship with acid king Timothy Leary, nearly killed him. "He would have died from one tab too many if he hadn't found God."
Katy, who appears on the cover of Blender in some unsexy high-waisted booty shorts, reveals that her evangelical parents, Mary and Keith, aren't all that squeaky clean as Christian conservatives.
In fact, in the interview she dishes more dirt on them than on herself. "In terms of wild youth, they put me to shame," says Katy.
But that was then. Now that she's a star in her own right, her parents have shown there is no depth to their hypocrisy as they find the fashionista 23-year-old's hit song "I Kissed a Girl" to be repugnant.
Katy's mother branded the song "shameful and disgusting" and said she was "disappointed" her daughter was promoting homosexuality.
"I can't even listen to that song," Hudson says. "The first time I heard it I was in total shock. It promotes homosexuality and its message is shameful and disgusting. When it comes on the radio I bow my head and pray."
The October issue of Blender hits newsstands this weekend.
