Believe it or not, the most awkward part of this video, in which Katy Perry interviews Karl Lagerfeld backstage after his Lagerfeld show on behalf of Elle, isn’t when Karl says he’d define himself with a Lily Allen song (don’t they like, not get along?).
In fact, we’re kind of torn on whether or not it’s the lilted maybe French with a touch of British accent Perry puts on at times or when she tells Karl that she really likes the metal dresses, to which he says, “I think that’s not metal, in fact it’s leather because leather is softer and more body friendly than metal can be a little harsh.”
You can never watch too much video of Karl, so enjoy. And remember, Karl does not like Sundays.
KARL [LAGERFELD]: You clutch my face. My head is a farm of inspiration, and it’s the harvest. REAP.
KATY [PERRY]: Oh, great, because I have so many questions…

We just came across this article on MTV (via The Australian) about a legal battle brewing between pop star Katy Perry and and Australian designer also named Katie Perry.
The “ie” Katie (born Katie Jane Perry) has been designing and selling a clothing collection online and in various locations in Oz for about two years. She filed a trademark application in September and was rightfully freaked out when she received a load of paperwork from a law firm representing the “y” Katy - asking her to withdraw her application and basically, from what we understand, stop using her own given name for her business.
This sounds absolutely absurd to us. It’s the girl’s name. And as designer Katie said to the newspaper, “”I love my business. I’m not going to give it away without a fight, either,” she said. “I’m not trying to become a singer. I’m not pretending to be her. This is my income. And it’s the livelihood of my contractors as well.”
While we’re not surprised that Katy Perry is seemingly batting around the idea of a fashion line (God help us all!), we don’t think she should be able to block anyone from using the name they were given just because she’s famous.
Fight the good fight, Katie! Maybe you’ll be able to save us all from sushi dresses.
Rihanna was spotted last week rocking a dangerously sexy Noir ring that first debuted at Barbie’s 50th Anniversary fashion show.
Turns out she saw the spiky sparkler on designer Phillipe Blond at a party for BFF Katy Perry’s new music video before and just had to know where to get one.
We love the trickle down effect from Barbie to Phillipe to Rihanna.
