Billboard: Katy 'Really Proud' of Her 'American Idol' Paycheck

[AnnTakamaki 6,871]

While Perry wouldn't talk hard numbers, she's very excited about putting some balance into the pay equation. "I’m really proud that as a woman I got paid," she said. "You know why? I got paid, pretty much, more than any guy that’s been on that show. By the way, I love men. So I’m  a paid woman and I’m ready for a beautiful man." 

Bottom line, she's looking forward to joining the legendary show that has given the world such talents as Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Jordin Sparks, Chris Daughtry and Adam Lambert. "I really wanted to join this show at the right time. I always have. We've always been in negotations for several years—it's never been right, but now when they kind of like brought it to a new home…it's perfect," she said, promising to not be "judgy," but give constructive criticism. 

"The reality is I am polite, but firm and I am super realistic," Perry said, finding a way to work a plug in for her upcoming album. "This show is about finding real talent, making peoples' dreams come true and additionally hearing their stories... I want to see you. I want to hear you. I want to witness you."

Ofc the title made her seem greedy when in fact she's mostly happy because usually men are paid higher than women.

25 million is so much  all for sitting behind a desk and saying "good job!/bad job!"

Probably she got more than Gags with A Star Is Born, but legacy has no price.

Yeah, the title of Billboard's article had me thinking she was simply patting herself on the back for making millions, but what Katy had to say wasn't bad at all.

"By the way, I love men. So I’m  a paid woman and I’m ready for a beautiful man."

Poor Katy. She's so traumatized by the media that she feels she needs to say that she doesn't hate man 'cause she's happy she got paid.
