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?

"The Party of the First Part" as explained by Bauhaus using this cartoon animation.

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.

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

K-pop is not about the music: selling out

WARNING: MASS CONSUMERISM (Papiens) What K-pop is really selling (is not music)

 

We're backed by very evil and rich corporations

Like Korean Buddhism,* K-pop (Korean 케이팝, RR Keipap, "Korean popular music") is a best-selling creation originating in South Korea [2]. The music genre that the term is used to refer to colloquially emerged in the 1990s as a form of youth subculture, with Korean musicians influenced by Western dance music, hip-hop, R&B, and rock [3, 4, 5].

Today, K-pop commonly refers to the musical output of teen "idol" acts, chiefly all-girl groups and all-boy bands, who emphasize visual appeal and performance [6].

As a pop genre, K-pop is characterized by its melodic quality and cultural hybridity [7, 8, 9]. K-pop can trace its origins to "rap dance," a fusion of hip-hop, techno, and rock popularized by the group Seo Taiji and Boys, whose experimentation helped to modernize South Korea's contemporary music scene in the early 1990s [10, 11, 12].

Their popularity with teenagers led the music industry to focus on this demographic. Lee Soo-man of SM Entertainment, who developed the Korean idol system in the late 1990s, created H.O.T. and S.E.S., the "first generation" of K-pop [13].

By the early 2000s, TVXQ and BoA had achieved success in Japan and gained traction for the genre overseas [14, 15]....

By 2019, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) listed South Korea as the 6th largest music market in the world [116], with boy band BTS alone accounting for $4.65 billion, or 0.3%, of South Korea's GDP [117].

In 2024, IFPI declared K-pop the leading global genre in unit sales, across both physical and digital formats. Seventeen of the top 20 albums on the IFPI Global Album Sales Chart that year belonged to this genre [118, 119] thanks to BTS, Blackpink, solo Rosé, Katseye, and a few others. More

*Korean Buddhism for a changing Korea

Standing guard statue (one of the Four Heavenly Sky Kings) in a Korean temple, Korea

Dalmado by Gim Myeong-guk

Korean Buddhism began in the 4th century CE during the Three Kingdoms Period. Centuries after Buddhism originated in [Gandhara, now modern Afghanistan] and Magadha [a Buddhist territory later brought into the empire under the umbrella term "India" under Buddhist Emperor Ashoka], the Mahayana tradition arrived in China through the Silk Road in the 1st century CE, then entered the Korean peninsula in the 4th century, from where it was transmitted to Japan.

In Korea, it was adopted as the state religion of three constituent polities of the Three Kingdoms Period, first by the Goguryeo (aka Goryeo) in 372 CE, by the Silla (Gaya) in 528 CE, and by the Baekje in 552 CE [1].

Korean Buddhist monks Haeinsa

Korean Buddhism is distinguished from other forms of Buddhism by its attempt to resolve what its early practitioners saw as inconsistencies within the Mahayana Buddhist traditions that they received from foreign countries.

To address this, Korean Buddhists developed a new holistic approach to Buddhism that became a distinct form, an approach characteristic of virtually all major Korean thinkers.

Sam Taeguk symbol, Korean Buddhism

The resulting variation is called Tongbulgyo ("interpenetrated Buddhism"), a form that sought to harmonize previously arising disputes among scholars (a principle called hwajaeng 和諍) [2].

As it now stands, Korean Buddhism consists mostly of the Seon [Zen] Lineage, primarily represented by the Jogye and Taego Orders. The Korean Seon has a strong relationship with other Mahayana traditions that bear the imprint of Chan teachings as well as the closely related Zen.

Other sects -- such as the modern revival of the Cheontae lineage, the Jingak Order (a modern esoteric sect or Vajrayana), and the newly formed Won -- have also attracted sizable followings [3].

Korean Buddhism has contributed much to East Asian Buddhism, especially to early Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, and Tibetan schools of Buddhist thought. More

Porn recovery: Mia Khalifa (BBC)

"I feel like I've lost all rights to my privacy": Mia Khalifa | The Conversation | BBC News India

(BBC News India) This interview first aired on BBC Hard Talk in Sept. 2019. Born to a conservative Arab family from Lebanon, Mia Khalifa (who is a Catholic Christian and has never been Muslim) attained worldwide fame and notoriety with her brief stint (12 shoots in total) in the porn industry.

In the interview with Stephen Sackur (who is honest enough to admit he himself has watched porn), she opens up about how she thought her participation would be a personal secret, the exploitative nature of the modern porn industry, and how it changed her life for the worse.

Religious and political views

Esteem: I'm beautiful, but I didn't know it.

In 2015, Khalifa stated that she was no longer a practicing Catholic [20]. She has a tattoo of the opening line of the National Anthem of Lebanon in Arabic [1] and a tattoo of the Lebanese Forces Cross, which she said was to "show solidarity with [her] father's political views" following a 2012 bombing.

She told Newsweek that critics have claimed that her tattoos were disgracing Lebanon [18]. Khalifa is an active Twitter user. In 2021, she criticized U.S. military aid to [genocidal] Israel [39] and called Israel an "apartheid state," which sparked backlash online [40].

During the Oct. 7th retribution on Israel [for decades of worsening oppression], Khalifa tweeted, "If you can look at the situation in Palestine and not be on the side of Palestinians, then you are on the wrong side of apartheid and history will show that in time."

In another tweet, she wrote "Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal" [41][42].

She later said that her comments were not an endorsement of violence and that she intended to highlight the need for Palestinian freedom:

I'm a video podcaster in 2019.

"I just want to make it clear...I specifically said freedom fighters because that's what the Palestinian citizens are...fighting for freedom every day [41].

Following this, capitalist porn corporation Playboy ended its podcasting deal with Khalifa, calling her comments "disgusting and reprehensible" [41][42][43].

Khalifa later tweeted: "I'd say supporting Palestine has lost me business opportunities, but I'm more angry at myself for not checking whether or not I was entering into business with Zionists. My bad"[41]. More

Incest: Trump molested daughter Ivanka?

Los Angeles EXPLAINED, before and now

Cali gals walk in skimpy bikinis as tanned hipster child rides skateboard without sunscreen

(Peter Santenello) Los Angeles: What it's really like now on mean sunny streets (July 2025) 🇺🇸

Currently, LA is a police state overrun by Feds

What can be said about the worst greatest city in the world? It's not like Angelenos walk around not knowing what the megalopolis is really like. We just act that way because we know there is no "Los Angeles" as such. It's just an idea with no center and unclear borders. Long Beach is not part of the OC. It's still in LA, but probably most people do not realize that. The tip of the peninsula that is San Pedro was once an important Indian village. But next to no one even realizes you can drive there because it's beyond the Port of Los Angeles. And the port should be the southernmost point in most cases.

Los Angeles the county is larger in population than 40 of the 50 or so states that make up the USA. (What is the USA, Russia's neighbor facing west, just east of Siberia? Are Puerto Rico, Guam, and more than 1,000 islands in the Pacific part of the pack or not? Indigenous Hawaii is not four or five islands but more than 1,000 atolls and spits and areas that are off-limits to everyone but the military). So what is LA or LA City? It used to be Tovaangar to the Native peoples. Now it's 88 cities and unincorporated areas, neighborhoods, zip codes and area codes, invisible boundaries and real estate redlinings. It's a mess, an expensive mess because everyone keeps coming in search of the dream. Which dream? Take your choice -- cultural diversity, porn manufacturing, magazine pieces, and various industries. Love it, hate it, everyone will visit, so we wrongly say it is the "capital of the world." This video provides a better glimpse than Beverly Hills, 90210, La La Land, or The O.C. ever are likely to suggest to anyone thinking of visiting. It's A Tale of Two Cities, the illusion and the reality, sometimes fire and other times just smog and haze.

Wango Tango: Doja Cat, Meghan Trainor, DJ David Guetta, Katseye... (5/10)

So this is where my daughter is getting all these raunchy twerk dance moves and TikTok ideas!

It's call show BUSINESS for a reason (iheart)

LA's the place to be for flash. At least for one summer. Just to see it isn't at all what it seems. The dazzling lights are a distraction. It's a trash pile. But who could ever believe that with all the TV shows and tells us unless we get close enough to actually smell the dumpster fire? So, y'know, why not come on down to Tinsel Town? Go west, My Children. Rent a convertible. Form a band. Get discovered. Be an influencer. But remember, whether it's sex-, music-, movie-, or miscellany, they are all industries. Expect to be exploited. Oh and, most importantly, bring money. Disneyland ain't cheap. And while here, why not catch Wango Tango 2025? KATSEYE is not K-Pop from South Korea but from Los Angeles, because we make boy bands and girl bands best. We invented the pre-fab concept of making TV-ready Monkees for fame and fortune.

Prostitution: Do escorts have O’s?

(Ms Jessica Jaye) Do I have 😮rgasms with clients working in a business that is so condemned?

Do I 😮? 

Dancer Josephine Baker 1926

(Ms Jessica Jaye) March 14, 2025: Brisbane, AUSTRALIA, Down Under, working it in Sydney. Can a sex worker be candid about the oldest profession in the world? It is not all a sleazy street exchange. In some places, like parts of the state of Nevada (outside of the county Las Vegas is in places like The Love Ranch) in the USA. In countries around the world, this is going on every day. In fact, some would argue that there is no country, no state, no city where it is not. Instagram: msjessicajaye. TikTok: msjessicajaye1.

• Sex workers legal in some parts of the world
• Is it prostitution if there's no pimp or pressure?

Courtesan Cora Pearl

The Five Precepts would seem to preclude this line of "work," given that it is a kind of sexual misconduct (abusing sex) in the eyes of society. Moreover, one might argue that it is "trade in living beings," one of the forms of Wrong Livelihood (from the Noble Eightfold Path), exploiting oneself and/or others, and for all appearances it is corrosive to the individual engaging in it. Does it have to be?

Geisha girl in traditional garb

Weren't there always courtesans (royal call girls) and geishas (well-mannered conversationalists for the rich)? These high-class escorts may not exactly be the same thing. They may be. But they are not regarded as such by the society.

One must take care not to rationalize that all wives are engaged in this line of work for fear of falling into specious reasoning and logical fallacies.

Ultimately, who is responsible for me but me? The buck stops here. We simply wish to share the Buddha's advice. The British scholar Maurice O'Connell Walshe dared to tackle this topic from a Buddhist perspective.
