KATY PERRY has denied threatening her Australian namesake with legal action over a clothing range - after the fashion designer accused the star’s management of bullying her into giving up her trademark.
Perry’s attorneys targeted Katie Perry, also known as Katie Howell, who runs a self-titled loungewear company in her native Australia after the singer’s team attempted to file a trademark protection order in the country.
The clothing-maker claimed she had received a letter form Perry’s lawyers ordering her to cease trading and withdraw her right to use the name Katie Perry on all her goods - and she vowed to contest the demands in court.
She said, “It really felt like I was being intimidated and bullied into signing everything away. (The letter) asked me to give up the trademark, withdraw sale of my clothes, withdraw any advertising and any websites, and sign that I will not in the future use a similar trademark to Katy Perry. I pretty much burst into tears. love my business. I’m not going to give it away without a fight either.”
She also issued an emotional plea to Perry in an Internet video - urging the star not to destroy her company.
The I Kissed A Girl hitmaker has now acknowledged the row in a post on her website - but insists she never planned to take legal action over the issue and accuses the press of blowing the issue out of proportion.
A statement on the star’s official website reads, “In the course of securing trademark protection for Katy Perry in Australia, it came to the attention of her representatives that Katie Howell, a clothing designer in Australia, had filed an application for trademark protection under a similar name in connection with her own clothing design business. A routine notice letter was sent to Ms. Howell, as is customary in trademark practice, alerting her of Ms. Perry’s intended application.”
Perry herself adds, “This is a routine trademark application, and I certainly haven’t sued anyone. As usual, some of the press seems to have delighted in creating a story where there is none.”

From PerezHilton.Com

We love Beth Ditto, but she’s completely off track on this one!

Or, then again, maybe she’s not. Maybe she is just using the issue for media attention, which, if that’s the case, then she’s actually pretty smart.

Either way, the lead singer of The Gossip continues her tirade against Katy Perry, responding to Katy’s recent opinion that she is not “impressed” with Beth Ditto. The feeling is most definitely mutual, as Beth explains to Spinner that she still feels Katy’s success with I Kissed A Girl is “offensive to gay people”.

Says Ditto, “I don’t care if she writes a song about kissing a girl, but there are people who kiss girls in their everyday life, and it’s not as easy as just kissing a girl and everyone loving you. It’d be really rad to hear her talk about something like that.”

At the heart of it, Beth is trying to shed light on the hypocrisy of the industry, stating: “It’s not about Katy Perry. It’s about this song and its innocence on her part. To [Katy], it’s just this party song. But as a gay person, it’s like, ‘Oh, of course this straight person singing about kissing a girl goes straight to Top 40 and people buy this record. Who can give a fuck about real gay people?’ That’s what’s really painful about the whole thing. That’s what makes me laugh about ‘I’m not impressed.’ It’s like, ‘Oh, that’s what you think? Of course, because you never thought about what a real gay person feels, and the impact that a song like that has on the gay world in a time of crucial civil rights.’ That’s just one of the examples of what the mainstream is thinking about queer culture, when actually, we are completely fighting for our rights right now.”

Maybe Beth and Katy should talk it out. We think Beth is coming from a good place, but if she really talked to Katy, she would realize how stupid this whole thing is.

Or maybe there would be an awesome cat fight!

Either way, we’re down!
