By now, you've likely heard the story of girl-kisser Katy Perry.
Born Katy Hudson in 1984 to conservative Christian parents, Katy was raised in a very religious household. She even released a Christian album in 2001 that featured songs such as "Faith Won't Fail." But sometime between then and 2007, the pastor's daughter traded in songs about her faith in God for songs about her faith in the awesomeness of drunken same-sex hookups.
What's really interesting about this story is what Katy revealed to MTV News in an interview just last week:
"I was raised in a very pseudo-strict religious household where the only thing on the menu was 'Oh Happy Day,' 'His Eye Is on the Sparrow' and 'Amazing Grace' — all eight verses of it," she said. "So the New Kids on the Block are new to me now; they're not a comeback. I'm like, 'Oh, this is a cool song!' I missed out on a couple other things, but I'm catching up."
