Katy Perry Comments On Beyonce's Song 'Beautiful Liar,' Denounces Press Reports (UPDATED)


Katy Perry Dissed Beyonce 
Katy Perry is just as excited as the rest of us at the prospect of a collaboration with her BFF Rihanna -- so excited that she kind of stuck her foot in her mouth when talking about it, reports Pop Dust.
UPDATE: Katy Perry took to Twitter to denounce press reports that she was disparaging Beyonce's song. Here's what she had to say (Caution: Graphic Language):
The original article continues below.


Perry weighed in on the forthcoming song (which if released in time will undoubtedly be the song we're blasting all summer long), and made a subtle dig at Beyonce:
"We've collaborated on a lot of things, but just not songs yet. It's one of those things that's got so much build-up that we have to deliver," she said during a BBC Radio 1 appearance on Monday. "I want it to be like that Eurythmics and Aretha Franklin song "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves," not "Beautiful Liar." But I definitely want to do something that is so iconic."
Granted, Beyonce's 2007 track "Beautiful Liar" featuring Shakira isn't the most memorable song, but it reached No. 1 on the iTunes best-seller list in March 2007 and peaked at No. 1 on the U.S. Hot Singles Sales, which isn't too shabby.
Perry doesn't have a reputation for starting fights with other celebs, so we hope she just didn't think before she mouthed off -- plus it was a strange comment to make after she just embarrassed herself covering Jay Z and Kanye West's song "N****s In Paris" at the same BBC Radio 1 appearance.
