Beyonceonline.com; VALERIE MACON/AFP/Getty ImagesGirl fight? Not so fast.
Proving that the only "Beautiful Liar" she has a problem with is the media, Katy Perry took to Twitter to lash out at the avalanche of feud reports sparked in the wake of the perceived diss she lobbed against Beyoncé and Shakira's years-old duet during a radio interview this week.
While she undeniably told BBC Radio 1 that particular tune wasn't something she hoped to recreate when she eventually collaborated with Rihanna, the jump from that to straight-out dissing her pop star peers is a leap that's gotten Perry tweeting mad.
Oh, and a warning: Apparently, when Katy gets mad, she gets potty-mouthed.
"F--k all y'all (press) dat thinks I dissed anyone, puhlez, u havin a slow news day or what?!" she wrote last night. "Get a life, cuz it's not mine! #hoodratcominout.
"If ya ears are filled with wax it's time to get a cleanse boo...Anywayz... (steps off of box)."
As it happens, the alleged diss hit the headlines yesterday, when Katy's interview with the British radio giant went online. During the Q&A, Perry was asked if she and BFF Rihanna would ever make good on their promise to join musical forces, and her answer seemed to go out of its way to spare her colleagues' blushes.
"I was telling her, you know that Eurthymics song with Aretha Franklin, Annie Lennox, 'Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves'?" Katy said.
"That's like the kind of song that I'd want to do instead of, like, 'Hips Don't Lie,' which was still a great song by Shakira and Beyoncé. I mean, not 'Hips Don't Lie,' what's that duet? 'Beautiful Liar.'"
With friendly nonfeuds like that, who needs real ones?
