Katy Perry To Rival Lady Gaga's Success?

We adore Katy Perry and it seems that everyone else does too, as her latest single is set to score the biggest debut numbers since Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way'!

We love every electric blue hair on Katy's head, so we couldn't be happier to hear she's had some good news for the first time in a while.

Her new single ‘Part Of Me’ is a complete and utter hit, expected to sell between 400,000 to 420,000 downloads by tomorrow. That is a LOT of downloads, believe us. And, if it does as well as expected, it will be Perry’s biggest debut number ever. Ever!

And, as if that weren't huge enough, it will also be the highest opening week for any act since Lady Gaga's ‘Born This Way’ sold 448,000 copies in a single opening week.

If we look at things analytically, we can see that Gaga and Perry are both pretty nifty with their timings; both singers released their singles to coincide with their Grammy performances. There's nothing like a little bit of extra publicity to add some spice to music sales.

And, speaking of extra publicity, it goes without saying that Katy Perry's explosive divorce from Russell Brand is helping things along too. In fact, Perry even reworked the lyrics to score one last dig at her ex:

“You can keep the diamond ring, it don’t mean nothing anyway”

Wowza!

It seems as if the first single release off of ‘Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection‘ has signalled a change in Katy's sugarcoated signature tunes for something with a bit more kiss-of attitude.

Lady Gaga on Simpsons Episode: 'One of the Coolest Things I've Ever Done'

The 500th Simpsons was shown yesterday - and pop star Lady Gaga will star in the season finale.

Lady Gaga will star in the 23rd season finale of The Simpsons, which celebrated its 500th episode yesterday.

The Simpsons is the longest-running prime-time scripted programme on US TV and is contracted to run for another two seasons.

The episode entitled 'Lisa Goes Gaga' will feature Lady Gaga visiting Springfield to cheer up Lisa and Lady Gaga has said: "I play a little bit of a slut. The apple doesn't fall far from my artistic tree."

Previous cameo appearances on the show include Tony Blair, Simon Cowell, The Beatles, and Dustin Hoffman.

The Simpsons' creator Matt Groening has said he still wants to take the show forward, adding: "Mostly it's revealing back stories of some of the characters we've never dealt with. We have a character we call Squeaky-Voiced Teen, which is [Dan] Castellaneta doing a 1940s Hollywood teenager. We've never given him a name; I'd like to know a little bit more about that guy."

Lady Gaga - Charles Worthington Wants To Work With Gaga

Charles Worthington would love to style Lady Gaga's hair because she would want something ''completely outrageous''.

Charles Worthington would love to style Lady Gaga's hair.

The iconic hairdresser believes the eccentric singer would be the ideal person to work with as she would want something ''completely outrageous''.

When asked who he would like to work with, Charles exclusively told BANG Showbiz: ''Lady Gaga would be an absolute scream because she's so out there. There would be no parameters as to what you could do with her. She'd want something completely outrageous which would be really fun to do.''

Angelina Jolie is also at the top of his wish list of people's hair to style, adding: ''I've never worked with Angelina Jolie and I think she'd be fabulous to work with.''

Meanwhile, Charles - who has teamed up with the BAFTAs to create a limited-range of hair products - has predicted the styles that he thinks will be popular on the red carpet at this month's Academy Awards.

He believes that the top looks will include ''relaxed glamour'' and modern versions of Marilyn Monroe's hair.

He said: ''The slightly more relaxed glamour rather than everything being too structured. The odd little bit of fly away and the odd fluffiness and texture to hair. I think it looks more real and I think we're definitely going to see some of them Marilyn waves from the film, 'A Week With Marilyn'.''
