Katy Perry vows to pen a track hitting back at Beth Ditto's 'tacky' comments

Singer says she'll respond in her music to Gossip star's 'tacky' digs

3 June 2009

ROUND two! Katy Perry has hit back at Beth Ditto for calling her “offensive to gay ­culture” by dubbing the Gossip singer “tacky”.

theBuzz revealed yesterday that big Beth had ­dismissed Katy’s No1 song I Kissed A Girl as a “boner dyke anthem” used by straight women to turn on men.

Last night Katy told ­theBuzz she’ll write a song slating ­the rotund star’s “tacky” comments.

Katy took her chance to have her say as she stepped out in a show-stopping electric blue dress at the Disarrono-sponsored Women of the Year Awards last night, where she told us: “I heard that she said something about me. I don’t want to get into a slanging war with anybody, so I don’t want to say anything bad about her. But I’m not impressed.”

Katy, 24, went on: “I’ve learnt in the past year that one artist should never ­insult another artist’s music – it’s tacky.

"One artist should never ­insult another artist’s music – it’s tacky"

“And with me, it always comes back to bite me on the a***!”

Of course, it wasn’t just her music that Beth insulted – she went as far as to say: “I hate Katy Perry! She’s offensive to gay culture.”

And it seems wanting to avoid a potential slanging match won’t stop Katy from letting Beth, 28, know exactly how she feels.

Perry, who is set to play with a string of stars at and 95.8 ­Capital FM’s ­Summertime Ball on Sunday in association with thelondonpaper, said: “I’ll write a song about it. So much of this stuff has happened to me in the past year and I would love to express it all through my music.”

Beth, you’ve been warned!
