Katy Perry Confesses That She Lost Her Virginity at Age 16; Aiming For Large Breast

Katy - who is currently in a relationship with John Mayer and was previously married to Russell Brand - remembers praying for large breasts when she was just 11 years old but had "no clue" she would end up with such a curvy frame.

She said: "I laid on my back one night and looked down at my feet, and I prayed to God. I said, 'God, will you please let me have boobs so big that I can't see my feet when I'm lying down?' God answered my prayers. I had no clue they would fall into my armpits eventually."

The 'Fireworks' hit maker opened up about her boobs during an interview with GQ magazine, Metro.co.uk reported. The 'Prism' singer is proud of her natural look and thinks she is a good role model because she hasn't undergone cosmetic surgery.

She said: "I've never had any plastic surgery. Not a nose, not a chin, not a cheek, not a t*t. So my messages of self-empowerment are truly coming from an au naturel product."

Perry also revealed to the publication that she lost her virginity when she was 16-years-old in the 'front seat of a Volvo'.

X Factor Judge Nicole Scherzinger Lining-Up Own Fashion Range

Nicole Scherzinger is known for her bold style choices on The X Factor, so it is no surprise that she has been snapped up to front a fashion campaign.

The 'Boomerang' singer has reportedly been lined up to be the face of British brand Missguided and potentially create on her own collection.

“Missguided think she could be great for the brand and fashion is something she wants to get into," a source close to the star tells The Mirror.

“It’s a great opportunity for Nicole to venture into new areas," they added.

The 35-year-old wore the brand during The X Factor live shows a number of times, so she is clearly a fan of them. This series, she wore some very revealing pieces so perhaps she will recreate those for her collection.

“Expect a lot of sexy, tight-fitting dresses and plenty of sparkles in the range. She wants to really put her stamp on it and make it Schermazing," the source added. Will we look as 'schermazing' as Nicole in those pieces though? Probably not.

Nicole has headed back to LA following The X Factor final last weekend. She blew the audience away by singing 'And I'm Telling You' with Sam Bailey during the live show with viewers on Twitter surprised to discover she had an amazing voice, especially when compared to Katy Perry's out-of-tune performance later that night.

Meanwhile it has been rumoured that she will be seeing her on/off boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton, over the holidays to try for a reconciliation.

Katy Perry Performs in White Frilly Dress Complete with LED Lights on The Voice of Germany

Katy Perry showed the contestants just how to put on a show when she performed on The Voice of Germany on Friday. The Fireworks singer belted out her new hit Unconditionally while wearing a very frilly dress complete with LED lights. Her show-stopping look made sure she was the center of attention during the atmospheric, white-themed performance.

The 29-year-old's dress lit-up as she paraded around on stage while her troupe of dancers cut a ghostly figure behind. The number resembled a voluminous bridal gown, complete with flared skirt, however the star's slim pins could be seen due to the dipped-hem design.

She finished off her look in equally glitzy style with a pair of sparkly, silver heels, while her hair was styled in loose waves.

 The wedding theme continued with a matching, floral garland, which contrasted perfectly against Katy's black locks. The set mirrored the song's video which sees the US star sing in a white lace dress as snow falls around her.

She later changed into a sexy tartan miniskirt and skimpy black top, as she sang on top of a perspex box as male dances writhed around inside.

 Her bra could be seen underneath, while a quilted red handbag sat on front of her skirt as she danced alongside her scantily-clad performers. The star's hair was also adjusted to match her new alter-ego, which was given a messy, deadlocked feel.

Her transformation was completed with a black choker, biker-style boots and a pair of dangle earrings.

BRIT Awards 2014 : Katy Perry and Arctic Monkeys Are First To Confirm Performances

Katy Perry has been confirmed for her first ever performance at the BRIT Awards 2014. 

The 29-year-old American singer will grace the stage at the O2 Arena, in London, alongside Sheffield Indie Rock band, Arctic Monkeys, and organizers are hoping it will be viewed by over 10 million people.

The former BRIT winner for best International Female Solo Artist in 2009, said: 'The BRITs has always showcased the music that I love and am influenced by. It's an honour to play at such a prestigious event where musicality shines at its brightest.'

Katy, whose current album Prism shot to number one on iTunes in 93 countries, has also had a total of four BRIT Award nominations to date.

She has just announced a UK arena tour for May 2014. Her new single 'Unconditionally' will be released in the UK on December 16th.

Ending the mockery of the music award show by agreeing to open the proceedings with a live performance, are the Arctic Monkeys. 

Since releasing their debut album the Arctic Monkeys have been nominated for a total of eleven BRIT Awards and have won four, and along with the Manic Street Preachers they are the only British band to have won Best Group and the prestigious MasterCard British Album twice.

The Do I Wanna Know have confirmed an appearance next February, following years of snubbing the ceremony.

The group, made up of front man Alex Turner, Jamie Cook, Nick O'Malley and Matt Helders, famously refused to attend the ceremony in 2006 where they won Breakthrough Act, and the following year they made a mockery by dressing as characters from the Wizard Of Oz, before delivering a sarcastic acceptance speech in 2008.

Brits chairman, Christian Tattersfield said: 'It took a lot of wining and dining on behalf of the Brits but it was my absolute priority to get Arctic Monkeys to perform. 

'It has been their year. It helps that the Brit Awards is now seen as a credible event and is no longer the shambles it was four or five years ago.'

A decision has yet to be made as to whether the Outstanding Achievement in Music prize will return.

Meanwhile comedian James Corden will return to the stage for the fifth time as presenter of the prestigious event, but has confirmed that it will be his last stint as presenter.

James said: 'I really love the BRITs. I'm such a fan.  I'll miss not doing it after this one but fully intend to enjoy every second of BRITs 2014.'

He will be handing out awards designed by British hat desinger to the stars, Philip Treacy who added: 'Music has always been my inspiration and I’m fortunate to have worked with some of the music industry’s greatest artists.

'My inspiration for the trophy comes from a uniquely British genre of music, Punk.'

The prize: The new BRIT Award trophy was designed by hat designer Philip Treacy.

Katy Perry Sizzles In Entertainment Weekly Magazine Photoshoot

''Unfortunately, I don't live up to all the wonderful sensationalism that other people do. I mean I'm not like f---ing Doris Day, by any means. I'm just me. I think that I'm the right amount of risqué or the right amount of envelope pushing. Everything is done with a wink; I'm big into innuendo and double entendre. I'm big into wordplay.''
