 Scandal! Katy Perry showed more than she should on the beach (+ photo)

Katy Perry, real name Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, was born on October 25, 1984 in Santa Barbara, California. Raised by pastors and to the sound of gospel music, since she was not allowed to listen to other music, she took her first steps as a singer in her parents' church... but nothing predisposed little Katy Hudson to becoming an international pop star. Moreover, his first gospel album, in 2001, did not really meet with success. She then decides to change her name to distinguish herself from actress Kate Hudson, and becomes Katy Perry, after her mother's maiden name.

After a second album abandoned along the way, she ended up capturing the attention of the music press and arousing the enthusiasm of a Columbia executive. This opens the doors of Virgin Records to him in early 2007 and even lands him a tailor-made label, Capital Records. She then collaborates with the producer Dr Luke, who already signs the successes of Britney Spears. He revamps her and makes her a star. In 2007 and 2008, she released two singles, Ur so gay and I kissed a girl, which were huge successes and which can be found in 2008 in the album One of the Boys, which sold more than 5 million euros. copies. Katy Perry receives the NRJ Music Award for Album of the Year.

In May 2010, Katy Perry released a new single, California Girls, the first single from her album Teenage Dream. The first sold 5 million copies and thus placed itself at the top of sales in the United States; the second is No. 1 in several countries and certified platinum in the United States. With five singles from the album at 1st place on the Billboard, the singer equals Michael Jackson's record with his album Bad. In 2011, the young woman, endowed with a good dose of humour, lent her voice to Smurfette in The Smurfs 3D.

On October 23, 2010, the star married in India with English comedian Russell Brand, from whom she divorced fourteen months later for irreconcilable differences.
