In a stunning move, the legendarily sweet singer decides that no, her image might be superficial, but she is more than her news reports. And she just doesn't care any more what people think.

It's hard to be sweet all the time.

This is something I discovered around the age of 7 and, to be honest, it's been a constant battle.

Katy Perry, on the other hand, knows that her image of sweetness tinged with superficiality might hound her till her dotage.

However, she's decided to break out. She's decided that she is more than the Katy Perry you know and judge every day. After all, her real name is Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson.

In order to show that she is the "captain of my career," she has decided to switch off her Google Alerts.

No longer will she spend her nights and mornings learning that someone in Michigan might have described her as aspartame for the numbed. No more will she have to tolerate the sniping of those who would dearly love to be in her sequins.
