Puppet Katy Perry: How to be a star

HOW TO BE AN INDUSTRY PUPPET: THE KATY PERRY STRATEGY

(Jay Diggs) How to be an industry  puppet: the Katy Perry (Catty Purry) strategy. "Rusty Brandy, Baby, what is a Faustian bargain?" - "I want a divorce!" - "O.K., Hubby, but what is it?"

How did she get her record contract, and how do I get the same deal?
.
What is a Katy Perry?

I just wanna be Kate Hudson again
Katy Lizzy Hud's Son (Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, born Oct. 25, 1984), known professionally as "Katy Perry," is a Hollywood product, an American singer, songwriter, and goofy TV personality.

Known for her influence on pop music and her camp style, she has been dubbed the "Queen of Camp" by Vogue and Rolling Stone.

At age 16, Perry released her unsuccessful gospel album Katy Hudson (2001) under Red Hill Records. After moving to Los Angeles, she signed to Hollywood's Capitol Records and rose to fame with the pop rock album One of the Boys (2008).

Its lesbian bisexual anthem and lead single "I Kissed a Girl" topped the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

Perry's moist, disco-influenced pop record Teenage Dream (2010) became -- ka-ching! -- the only album by a woman to spawn five U.S. number-one singles:
  1. "California Gurls"
  2. "Teenage Dream"
  3. "Firework"
  4. "E.T."
  5. "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)"
Momma, don't preach. I don't need your and Dad's stupid religious beliefs holding me back.
.
It helps having really big boobs, huge like these
Its sugarcoated reissue, subtitled The Complete Confection (2012), produced the U.S. Number 1 single "Part of Me."

The dance-inspired Prism (2013) yielded two U.S. Number 1 singles, "Roar" and "Dark Horse."

Perry's subsequent albums, Witness (2017), Smile (2020), and 143 (2024), were mostly duds and met with varied critical and commercial success.

Now mostly a laughingstock, Perry is still one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with estimated sales of over 151 million records worldwide. She has seven diamond certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America.

The world's highest-paid female musician in 2015 and 2018, she was named by Billboard one of the greatest pop stars of the 21st century. As proof, her accolades include:
  • 20 Guinness World Records,
  • 5 Billboard Music Awards,
    5 American Music Awards (including the Special Achievement Award),
  • 1 Brit Award,
  • 1 Juno Award, and
  • 7 MTV Video Music Awards (including the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award).
Perry was the first artist to have multiple videos reach one billion views on YouTube.

With an estimated net worth of $360 million, she is among the world's wealthiest musicians.

I told you I literally sold my soul to the Devil.
Outside of music, Perry released an autobiographical documentary titled Katy Perry: Part of Me in 2012, voiced Smurfette in The Smurfs film series (2011–2013), launched her own shoe line Katy Perry Collections in 2017, and flew into space aboard Blue Origin NS-31 in 2025.

She served as a judge on American Idol from the 16th season in 2018 to the 22nd season in 2024. She is an advocate for LGBT rights and women's rights, and she was named a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 2013.

Her philanthropy and activism focus on children's education and HIV/AIDS awareness. More

Sickly Ariana Grande: "I'm a literal witch"

(Whaddo You Meme??) Ariana Grande left hateful, homophobic Catholic Jesus for Jewish Kabbah, Tarot, crystals, witchcraft, saying "I am a literal witch," then this happened
(ArianaGrandeVevo) Ariana Grande "petal" (Progeria is a real condition, but we can lick it)


I'm not a Latina, OK? I'm a Roman
Although formerly Catholic Big Aryan drew criticism for impolite interactions with reporters and fans in 2014 [407], she dismissed those reports as "weird, inaccurate depictions" [3]. Rolling Stone wrote: "Some may cry 'diva,' but it's also Grande just taking a stand to not allow others to control her image" [408]. In July 2015, the diva sparked controversy after being caught on surveillance video in a doughnut shop licking other peoples' doughnuts that were on display and saying, "I hate Americans. I hate America. This is disgusting," supposedly referring to the tray of doughnuts [409] and not the fat Americans who eat them. She subsequently apologized because of her strong backbone and sticking to her convictions, which are not really present. Public image my @ss! More I'm not Satanic [just because I sold my soul, which is not even a thing, so don't say that. And I don't have progeria, because I don't even know what that is, and I don't look like an old lady just out of a concentration camp, and if you say so, that's racist or antisemitic or one of those. Whatever, I don't care what you think!]

How to sell your soul: The Led Zep way

BEAVIS AND BUTT HEAD REVIEW "DEVIL'S JOHNSON" BY ETHYL MEATPLOW

The demon Mephistopheles
Mephistopheles (German /MEF-ist-OF-il-eez/) is a demon in German folklore who is also known as Mephostophilis [1] and Mephisto [2].

He originated as the chief devil in the Faust legend (Faustian bargain) [3]. This demon has since become a stock character appearing in other works of arts and popular culture.

Mephistopheles never became an integral part of traditional magic [4]. More

Led Zep, Black Sabbath's occult black magic

(Wes's Tone Foundry) Dark Jimmy Page's Led Zeppelin and the band's hidden messages: Aleister Crowley, curses, and backward masking
"Stairwell to Hell" (parody)
Dhr. Seven (parody lyrics), Seth Auberon (ed.), Wisdom Quarterly
 
[Instrumental intro]

[Verse 1]
There's a gent, see, he's sure all that glitters's been sold
And he's buying a Stairwell to Hell
When he gets there, he knows, if The Doors are all closed
With a word, he can get what he came for
Ooh, and he's buying a Stairwell to Hell

[Verse 2]
There's writing on the wall, but he wants to be reassured
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by a brook, there's a raven who mocks
Sometimes all of our thoughts are mistaken

[Refrain]
Ooh, it makes me ponder
Ooh, makes me ponder

[Verse 3]
There's a feeling of unease when I look to the east
And my soul, oh, is crying about Eden
In my thoughts, I have seen fiery smoke beyond the trees

[Refrain]
Ooh, it makes me ponder
Ooh, really makes me ponder


[Verse 4]
Martin van Maele's La Sorciรจre
And it's whispered that soon if this piper calls the tune
Then our stringer will lead us to seasons
And a Golden day will Dawn for those who stand long
And this forest will echo with laughter

[Interlude]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-woah-ho

[Verse 5]
If there's a hustle in your head, yo, don't be cunning, no
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There may be no time to change the road you're on


And it makes me ponder
Ohh, oh-oh

[Verse 6]
Your head is humming and it won't slow, in case you don't know
The Real Piper's calling you to join Him
Dear gent, see? Can you hear me?
The wind blows, and did you know --
Your stairwell rides on a hissing wind? Oh
 
[Guitar solo]


Hans Memling "Hell"
[Bridge]
And as we sidewind down the road
Our shadows stronger than our souls
There slides a gent, see? The One we all know
Who shines bright light and wants to show

How everything we can turn to gold
And if we hum it very fast
The tune will come to us at last
When we are one with the One in Hell, yeah

[Outro]
And he's bought us a stairwell to Hell

Megadeth's Dave on real witchcraft


Dave Mustaine (formerly of Metallica then his revenge creation Megadeth) has bad mojo. No one in the metal community really likes him, certainly not his bandmates. Maybe there's a reason -- a bad childhood, trauma, scars, bad choices, and a spooky vibe. He did once make one good album though and at least one truly great song, strangely appropriate in the end:

Dr. Fauci: New pandemic is coming

  • JimmyDore.com exposes Dr. Anthony Fauci, MD, who someway, somehow isn't in prison for lying to Congress, as Sen. Rand has shown, and committing crimes against humanity for profit. Capitalism and healthcare go well together. The good doctor has no interest in anything but making us all healthy since his work with AIDs and all the trouble he got in at that  time.

OMG, TRAylor engaged, Lil Nas X felon?

We pretend we (USA) don't have royalty, but we have "stars" and a king in the White Castle
Now that our stars are settling down and aging, what will they look like in a few years?

Swift's not the only Nazi Barbie. Amatue, too
The news (spectacle) gets to be so much nowadays that there's no way to consume it except maybe in TikTok morsels. But that sort of chunkification is not good for the attention spans, focus, or dopamine addiction and serotonin levels in the mind. More sugar! It's almost as if some giant PR firm working on Fleet Street is bombarding us to keep us constantly distracted and spinning. That way no one notices real news items like Zionist Israel's atrocities, Trump's long history of inc3st and child s3x crim3s, the economy, the enrichment of the military-industrial complex under a leader who was supposed to be the peace candidate pulling us out of foreign involvements.

Look at me, everybody, pick me
It's almost as if Zionists run the Deep State and therefore the country, with blackmailed Trump their witless victim. He has no power to stand up to anyone but fellow moles in the blue wing of his party, the Money Party, the duopoly that rules the swamp.

Now, it's onto the most important story on the planet, Princess Tay has accepted the hand of her football Beau, and NPR is at a fever pitch about it: Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce engagement cheered by brands (NPR) They're raising their voice to above a whisper. Taylor Swift talks new album on ‘New Heights’ podcast (NPR)

There's just too much snap news:
What's the most important story grabbing our attention gay demon worshipping pop rapper Lil Montero Hill Nas X getting a visit from the contract signer to make good on his deal with the devil? Maybe he should have referred to Lil Uzi Vert for advice on the wording because he's barely had a few hit songs to already be out of his gourd on drugs walking nearly naked down the streets behind Tinsel Town?

Diddy is in even BIGGER trouble? We thought Trump was ready to pardon him and his other close, personal, child molesting associates like Ghislaine Maxwell. Hulk Hogan didn't die of a heart attack from working out too much and shooting up steroids? It was a surgical disaster during an operation that killed him, medical malpractice, fourth degree negligent murder???
"Old Town Road" (rejected country hit)

Will he make a comeback after catching charges while intoxicated and being arrested, spending a "terrifying" four days in jail and getting traumatized? It seems like only a few years ago he was living at his sister's house, being thrown out, throwing a Hail Mary pass with a song-idea combining country and rap in his breakout hit "Old Town Road." Then came the over Satanism, Illuminati behavior, overt homosexuality, and Garden of Eden themes. Did Diddy or Beyonce's hubby Mr. Carter produce this?

Hulk Hogan cover-up mystery

Why is HE here with his girlfriend/daughter? - Shhh, Taylor, he'll destroy you on Turd Social!

Why are our celebrities all dying?

When you're pseudo-macho like Trump, you lie about your illnesses and die in ignimony

God, I love DJ and right-wing politics, Brother!
Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath frontman and drug addict), Chuck Mangione (trumpet musician), Malcolm-Jamal Warner ("The Cosby Show" star), and now beloved bigger-than-life Hulk Hogan (Terry Gene Bollea), one of the world's most view stars, Floridian, MAGA right wing tough guy. There's so much death in the world. How many people die every single day? A hundred seventy-three thousand in 2025, according to World Population Review.
If that many people die a day, does that mean I might day? No, never, that's ridiculous. That's the Impossible Possibility. What the Buddha warned about all day long for 45 years of teaching he called dukkha (disappointment).


Dukkha means not getting what we want, getting what we don't want, losing what we have, separation from the loved, association with the hated...all of these things modern English translators termed "suffering," which is very misleading since that connotes agony or everything sucking all the time. Everything does NOT suck ALL the time. It's just that there's enough stink in the pot to make the stew unappetizing to anyone who pays too much attention. That attention is good because it wakes us up to the problem. Of course, we don't want to know about The Problem, this or any other. We're already aware of too many most of the time, and we seem to actively be trying to forget. We like checking out, pleasure seeking, distractions, temporary fixes at whatever cost.

There are many paths. Why listen to the Buddha?
The Buddha gave two solutions, an immediate one and a permanent one. But it takes some doing, some effort, some focus, and it usually means recognizing that there is a problem (which we don't want to see). Well, the Universe will step in every so often and slap up in the face, like it or not. And for some of us, the problem will get so bad, there's no avoiding it. Imagine American-prison problems. Those are not problems one can easily escape, as oftentimes the so-called "escape" is worse than the problem, like the choice between being eaten by lions on shore or crocodiles in the water.

What's The Problem? Death in a world of radical impermanence is part of it, but it's more insidious than that. Prior to death, there's aging and sickness, loss due to many reasons, and ignorance why anything is happening or why anything has to happen. We act in ignorance, one of the unwholesome roots of conduct, and we get dukkha in return. We wish to know and understand but do not make right effort towards that end, so we get neither knowing nor understanding.

Celebrities die. Why? They die because they are living beings, and there are only one kind of living beings that will not die. However, even they will seem to die. It is not the Gods or gods, who all die. It is the noble ones, the awakened/enlightened. Death (redeath) is followed by birth (rebirth). This is not anyone's first time dying. We have been through it countless time. Of course, since we don't remember, we say that's impossible. We want life to seem fresh and new each time; that has been our way of tolerating it.

But The Problem is much grander. All this dissatisfaction -- which we can call samsara or the Continued Wandering On through the Wheel of Life and Death, beset on all sides by craving for pleasure, wanting and being angry about being frustrated in our desires -- is constantly disappointing. It is constantly changing, hurtling towards destruction, fruitless when obtained, unable to fulfill/satisfy us.

Vatican's gilded Hercules statue holds secret scrolls

The permanent solution is awakening (bodhi) and reaching nirvana (nibbana, the deathless, the real refuge from all danger, the safety of the farther shore beyond our world/universe of constant change and disappointment, loss and blame, aging and illness, and all the many sources of woe).

Will we awaken? Will we set out on the course towards awakening? Or will we just bemoan our lot and seek for the next diversion, temporary pleasure, and promise of eternal life, happiness, and joy after joy, rose after rose with never a thorn in sight?

In the Garden the roses have no thorns...
