She also has crazy/scary/dead/drugged out eyes. But let’s just focus on that first thing for right now, all right?
Katy Perry is working on promoting her tour documentary, which, by the way, I’m definitely going to see. She’s doing a lot of interviews, and she seems to be focusing a lot on the footage that shows her dealing with the breakup of her marriage with Russell Brand. Remember that interview that she did earlier this week where she discusses how she had to bend over to cry so she wouldn’t mess up her fake eyelashes? Yeah, she’s been saying a lot of things like that. Poor Katy, I guess.
Here are a few things that Katy had to say on her appearance on The Tonight Show last night:
“Just because you’re in the spotlight doesn’t mean you get to dodge the curveballs — they’re actually bigger,” the Wide Awake singer told Leno. “I think if you were to see the movie and it was completely avoided, you’d think, ‘Hmm that’s strange, I know something else happened in her life last year.'”
Katy said she wanted to handle the split “delicately with the most integrity I could, and show, ‘Yeah I’m going through the same situation that half of America goes through and somehow I landed on my feet.’ So you don’t have to lay down and die like you think.”
The Firework singer added that “it wasn’t always exciting to watch those unflattering scenes where I’m crying and having an intense moment, but I think people will relate to me more seeing me at my lowest point and now at my highest point.”
And just in case you want to hear one more thing about Katy Perry crying, People has another story about the Part of Me documentary:
In her new movie Part of Me, Perry, 27, pulls back the curtain to discuss why her marriage with Brand, 37, fell apart.
The biggest strain on their relationship, she reveals, was her busy touring schedule. As scenes in the movie show, Perry used days off from her grueling world tour to take side trips to see Brand. Yet the time apart still took its toll.
In one scene, Perry is seen sobbing uncontrollably backstage – minutes before show time. Eventually, she rallies. “Start time,” she says before hitting the stage.
Perry also hints that her rocketing music career was a source of tension between her and Brand.
“I thought to myself, ‘When I find that person that’s going to be my life partner, I won’t ever have to choose [between the partner and my career] … they won’t be threatened or have weird motives,” Perry says. “Then I started to realize, that’s not true. That fairytale I had is not true for me right now.”
The pop star says she did everything she could to save her marriage. “I have that same belief system with everything, from career to my life to my personal life, everything. And I will do everything it takes to not fail. And I did everything it took but it still failed.”
What “weird motives” is Katy saying that Russell Brand had? And yeah, I’m sure she did “everything it took” to make her marriage work, except, you know, spending time with her husband.
Have I mentioned how excited I am to see this movie?
