The insufferable Perez Hilton, dressed as Jesus Christ, helped Katy Perry (as the late Freddie Mercury) celebrate her 24th birthday party last night in West Hollywood. This just begs the question: What kind of person invites Perez Hilton to his or her birthday party?

Katy Perry is never one to shy away from awkward (or controversial, for that matter) situations, and her recent performance at the MTV Latin American Awards was no different. The fake-lesbian singer ended her performance of the played-out anthem, "I Kissed a Girl," by belly-flopping onto a large cake. The only issue? The icing was slippery, and the singer took a tumble. And another. And another. She was finally forced to crawl off the stage on her hands and knees. We'll let you come up with the inappropriate jokes.

Katy Perry, on which poor girl she would like to kiss:

Miley Cyrus! … Maybe we'll have another Britney-Madonna moment on stage [at the Teen Choice Awards]. How hilarious would that be? Although I don't think it would help her career. However, it would definitely help mine!

Katy Perry pranced around the stage during last night's So You Think You Can Dance as she sang "I Kissed a Girl," but instead of enjoying her performance, I felt extremely uncomfortable. Someone needs to teach the girl how to command the stage instead of walking back and forth … and back and forth … and back and forth. Also? Sometimes it's better to just lip sync and call it a day.

How does a hip, knife-wielding vixen like Katy Perry get such backwards ideas about gay people despite living in Hollywood, one of the gayest places in the entire world? We can't be certain, but we think it might have something to do with the fact that in 2001, Perry was a devout Christian releasing religious albums under her real name, Katy Hudson. Here's a lyrical sampling from Hudson's "Faith Won't Fail":

For His angels surround me
And You've poured out this blood covering
And I will walk and not fail
For time and time again my faith won't fail

Might some of Hudson's reverence for the Church – particularly its notorious unwillingness to accept alternative lifestyles – exist within Perry seven years later? Could be!

Either way, a little down home homophobia isn't enough to sate Perry's pious former fans, many of whom are pissed about the tarted-up floozy she's become. Says a YouTube commenter called rayray1808:

My very best friend turned away from jesus , she was the worship leader at my church , amazing singer , now she is goth and in a band called holophonic porno , but she will come back to jesus and so will Katy .

HA! We'll end this post there.

After the jump, "Faith Won't Fail."

Above is the video for "UR So Gay," a new song from 23-year-old minister's daughter turned pop singer Katy Perry, in which she mocks an effeminate ex-boyfriend with the refrain, "You're so gay and you don't even like boys."

About the song, Perry notes, "I'm not stereotyping gay people, I'm making fun of myself. I always have my sense of humor." Hmmm, well, quite contrary, Katy Perry. Perhaps you didn't write it with the intention that it be a homophobic screed, but a song that says straight men with no balls are gay is indeed stereotyping. Got that, you doofus?

Amazing, now not even the pop stars themselves know what their shitty songs are about.
