Katy Perry: Pretty in Paris

Heading out to take the stage, Katy Perry was spotted leaving the Jules hotel to perform a concert in Paris on Tuesday (June 16).

Signing a few autographs on the way to her van, the “I Kissed a Girl” singer looked in high spirits despite having to file a lawsuit in the recent days.

According to MTV News, Miss Perry’s lawyers served a cease-and-desist order to Australian designer Katie Perry, trying to block her from trademarking her birth name for a clothing label.

“I got such a huge shock. It really felt like I was being intimidated and bullied into signing everything away,” Katie told The Australian. “It asked me to give up the trademark, withdraw sales of my clothes, withdraw any advertising and any Web sites and sign that I will not in the future use a similar trademark to Katy Perry. I pretty much burst into tears.”

“I love my business. I’m not going to give it away without a fight, either,” the Aussie clothier added. “I’m not trying to become a singer. I’m not pretending to be her. This is my income. And it’s the livelihood of my contractors as well.”
