California Gurlz singer Katy Perry has said in an interview with the UK’s Q Music Magazine that while her current album is about all things sweet, she would like her next effort to be meat themed and would even like the CD to smell of sausages!

The qiurky American singer says “CDs are over but not if they smell original” and adds that despite her fiance being vegetarian, she would like to appear on the CD cover wearing a ‘bacon bikini’, instead of the usual nipple pasties I presume.

It is small wonder that Perry has such a perverse sense of humour, not only is she engaged to equally quirky UK comedian Russell Brand, but she also reveals to Rolling Stone magazine that she grew up in a far from conventional household.

Perry says that she grew up in a strict but nutty home, where her minister parents ’spoke in tongues’. Speaking in tongues is as normal to me as ‘Pass the salt’ is to others, says Perry and she then adds, “A lot of religions use meditation or chanting. It’s a secret, direct prayer language to God. My dad speaks in tongues and my mom interprets it. That’s their gift.”

Both of Perry’s parents are freelance ministers and she remembers that things were not always great financially for the family, saying “Sometimes we ate from the same food bank we used to feed our congregation and I was very embarrassed by that.”

As a child Katy’s parents disliked her using the word ‘lucky’ she reveals, “My mother would rather us say that we were blessed, and she also didn’t like that lucky sounded like Lucifer. Devilled eggs were called ‘Angelled eggs’ and I wasn’t allowed to eat Lucky Charms, but I think that was the sugar. My mom lied to me about that one.”
