In her new film Part of Me, Katy Perry unveils part of her everyday life to her fans and gives them a candid view of what it's like to be a touring musician. Although the film doesn't venture into her inicial life, Perry reacts to her struggling relationship with her then-husband Russell Brand in the film, which she says fit well into its theme of overcoming obstacles.

"[The movie] is about overcoming obstacles no matter what shape they come in," the mega pop estrella said. "Sometimes the obstacle is your job o the people around you...and then sometimes it's your personal struggle."
Although her personal life may have had its obstacles, Perry maintained that she had to keep her composure through it all, most especially when she was performing in concerts.

"There were times on the road where I literally had to throw myself on that [stage] lift and kind of flip a switch and separate the personal from the professional because it's my personal problems not the audience's problems," the 27-year-old asserted.
With over 300 hours of footage from different angles of her worldwide tour in 2011, a good breadth of Perry's not-so-glamorous moments were captured. However, Perry made a point of not cutting those unflattering parts out in order to give her fans the complete, true experience.

"Sometimes my tummy turned when I saw different scenes--whether I was upset, whether I looked completely awful and exhausted, bloated with zits, [the] whole bit," she said. "I left them in there 'cause I thought it was important to mostrar the truth because there's a lot of fakeness out there these days."
Her approach to the film, she says, was guided towards revealing the uncut success story of a girl who persevered through all and reached stardom on her own merit.

Linda Perry is the legendary 4 Non Blondes rocker turned hit songwriter for Pink, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani and countless other young pop stars. She says Katy Perry's songs are no good.
"I'm not saying Katy is bad," she said. "She's great for what she does. But she's not reinventing the wheel, she's not giving substance. She's just giving, tu know, microwave palomitas de maiz, palomitas de maíz for tu to feast on right at this moment. tu know, that's it. And that's what she wants to do obviously. She's not looking to change the world musically, she's not. So all the power to her and everybody that is like that. I'm not saying it's bad. I'm just saying, it's not what I participate in. But that is part of the reason why the música business is in turmoil, so to say."
What does Katy have to say about all this? Katy dicho on Twitter: "Good sherlock holmes listeners know there's LOTS of interesting info in them songs!!!"
