Singer Katy Perry attempted “quirkiness” with a subtlety only previously seen in a Diablo Cody script by jumping into, rather than out of, a cake onstage during her performance at MTV’s Latin America Awards in Guadalajara last night. Naturally, hilarity ensued. I lost count of the number of times she fell down. I was laughing too hard to tell, anyway. Anybody who’s ever wallowed in a giant dessert knows that frosting is second only to an oil slick in terms of slipperiness. And anyone who’s ever fornicated with a dessert knows you can use it to piece together a trite and cliched comedy and rake in millions. Which is precisely why my new business model consists entirely of meringue and mini-van size eclairs. Call me, Katy!
Demi Lovato is new Disney puke (along with BFF Selena Gomez) that’s being preened as a replacement for Miley Cyrus when the inevitable cocaine/sex tape surfaces. Demi is finally making it big, even opening for the Jonas Brothers Sunday night, her youthful exuberance evident as she skips and dashes and wipes the fuck out on the stage. Nine MSN says
It’s every pop star’s worst fear: falling over in the middle of a concert in front of thousands of screaming fans. The nightmare became a reality for Disney starlet Demi Lovato, who went head over heels (and not in a good way) while performing at a concert with the Jonas Brothers on Sunday night.
The 16-year-old singer rushes out on stage to greet a massive crowd and falls so hard she needs the help of two stagehands to help her up. Embarrassing!
Sorry, but that’s funny. The only way it could be any funnier is if she somehow wound up head first in a drum set being played by a Mexican in a bee costume who made that “whah whah whah” noise, shrugged his shoulders and said directly into the camera, “Ay yai yai, no me gusta!” And then the camera could zoom back and forth really fast on a busty woman in a rhinestone bra doing the shimmy. Ah, Univision. You never disappoint!
