Add Comment Katy Perry to perform at the 5th edition of the ''Indian Premier League" opening ceremony03/29/2012  American pop star Katy Perry will perform during the opening ceremony of the fifth edition of the Indian Premier League on April 3, the organisers announced today. The IPL Opening Nite will be held at the YMCA Grounds in Chennai a day before the start of the T20 cricket league. "We look forward to Ms. Perry's participation at the DLF IPL 2012 Opening Nite. A performer of her calibre makes the occasion even more special for the IPL family - - players, organisers and fans. The verve and originality of her music matches that of the competition and we look forward to an inspired performance from her," IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla, said in a statement.
Official video for Katy Perry's "Part of Me" available on 'Teenage Dream:
The Complete Confection.'  Ever since its premiere at the 54th Grammy Awards, folks have speculated long and hard about Katy Perry's "Part Of Me," and whether its various lyrical barbs — "You can keep the diamond ring, it don't mean nothing anyway/ In fact, you can keep everything — except for me," in particular — were aimed at her soon-to-be ex-husband, Russell Brand. It would seem to make sense ... after all, Perry's no stranger to the occasional(ly brutal) kiss-off (check the Teenage Dream track "Circle The Drain" for proof), but there's just one tiny problem: "Part of Me" first surfaced in 2010, two months after Perry and Brand got married in India.
 Just how big is Katy Perry? In an era when record sales are in unrecoverable free fall, her first album, One of the Boys (2008)—or her second, if you count the eponymous 2001 gospel record that she released under her birth name of Katy Hudson—sold more than five million copies. Her second (or third), Teenage Dream (2010), has sold almost as many, but even more significantly, digital sales of individual songs off the record have reached upwards of 28 million, buoyed by the near-ubiquity of five No. 1 singles (“California Gurls,” “Teenage Dream,” “Firework,” “E.T.,” and “Last Friday Night [T.G.I.F.]”), and placing it in a tie with Michael Jackson’s Bad (1987) for spawning the most No. 1 singles from the same album.
 Paramount has initiated talks with Perry's camp, as well asImagine Entertainment, to create a documentary-style 3D film centered on the powerhouse singer-songwriter.
Dealmaking is still in the early stages, and no director is officially on board yet. But both sides are eager to make the details work, and insiders say it's just a matter of working out the logistics. | Main CategoriesArt Submit Your Links
