Vanity Thy Name Is Perry

COVER GAL: Katy Perry is on the cover of this month's Vanity Fair, which hit newsstands today. “My career is like an artichoke,” Katy Perry tells Vanity Fair contributing editor Lisa Robinson. “People might think that the leaves are tasty and buttered up and delicious, and they don’t even know that there’s something magical hidden at the base of it. There’s a whole other side [of me] that people didn’t know existed.” Of course, don't expect Robinson to get her to reveal it, but the cover is sure neat. (5/5p)
