MTV has recently announced the host for this year’s MTV Europe Music Awards. For the second time in a row, that responsibility goes to Katy Perry. MTV execs were pleased with the singer’s performance last year in Liverpool so they’ve asked her to take on the job once again. This marks the first time that MTV has ever asked someone to host two consecutive EMAs. Congratulations to Katy! This year’s awards show will take place in Berlin on November 5th. So far, the only performers confirmed for the show are Green Day and Leona Lewis. Who would you like to see perform?

Katy Perry isn’t one to shy away from controversy and it seems that she’s not too shy on sharing her feelings about John Mayer either. A concertgoer tattled about a last minute lyric change in the ‘I Kissed a Girl’ singer’s New York City concerts last week. Katy swapped the lyrics in ‘You’re So Gay’ to take some digs at John. Katy sang “I’m so mean ’cause I cannot get you out of your head. I’m so angry ’cause you’d rather TWITTER instead. I can’t believe I fell in JOHN MAYER!” The original lyrics go “I’m so mean cause I cannot get you out of your head. I’m so angry cause you’d rather MySpace instead. I can’t believe I fell in love with someone that wears more make up than…”

Katy Perry has an interview in the new issue of Women’s Health where she talks about her personal style. She said “I like experimenting and I’m totally OK with ending up in the ‘worst dressed.’ It’s happened many, many times, but I’m proud of those outfits. I don’t follow trends. I’m just not into what everyone else is wearing. I have my own look, which I call ‘Lolita meets old Hollywood Glam.’ I’m a big fan of Dita Von Teese, because she does it all herself. That is her job: to look fabulous going to the grocery store. Cyndi Lauper is another favorite. She was just so out of her mind in the ’80s. It takes someone who has no limitations in style to create stuff that epic.” Kudos to her for being herself.

Last weekend, Katy Perry was called to the stage of France’s NRJ Music Awards to receive the International Song of the Year award for her worldwide hit ‘I Kissed a Girl’. However, by the end of the show, the host announced that there had been a mistake in vote-counting and that Katy didn’t really win. Rihanna was the real winner for ‘Disturbia’. The awards were apparently based on results of audience votes on NRJ’s website in the weeks leading up to the ceremony. Katy did win International Album of the Year though. Maybe there was just a mistake in the printing of the winner’s envelopes.

Katy Perry got pretty in pink as she filmed an outdoor scene for her new music video in Los Angeles last week. The ‘I Kissed a Girl’ singer is coming out with her next single called ‘Hot N Cold’. The 23-year old sensation was shooting wedding scenes for her video and is hoping to duplicate her success with her last single. Kinga Burza, the director for her first video says “I predict she is going to be massive and wish her all the best. She’s fresh, original, intelligent and talented, with a star-like charisma, which will have boys and girls all around the world cooing for more!”
