Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (born October 25, 1984), known professionally as Katy Perry, is an American singer, songwriter, and television judge. After singing in church during her childhood, she pursued a career in gospel music as a teenager.
Perry signed with Red Hill Records and released her debut studio album Katy Hudson under her birth name in 2001, which was commercially unsuccessful. She moved to Los Angeles the following year to venture into secular music after Red Hill ceased operations and she subsequently began working with producers Glen Ballard, Dr. Luke, and Max Martin.
After adopting the stage name Katy Perry and being dropped by The Island Def Jam Music Group and Columbia Records, she signed a recording contract with Capitol Records in April 2007.
Justin Randall Timberlake (born January 31, 1981), occasionally known by his initials JT, is an American singer, songwriter, actor, dancer, and record producer.
Raised in Tennessee, he appeared on the television shows Star Search and The All-New Mickey Mouse Club as a child. In the late 1990s, Timberlake rose to prominence as one of the two lead vocalists and youngest member of NSYNC, which eventually became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time.
Timberlake began to adopt a more mature image as an artist with the release of his debut solo album, the R&B-focused Justified (2002), which yielded the successful singles "Cry Me a River" and "Rock Your Body", and earned his first two Grammy Awards.

And actor Rose McGowan turned heads in 1994 by wearing a sheer, black beaded knee-length gown with a black thong on full display.
The MTV VMAs have become synonymous with crazy fashion. And while still glamorous, this year’s red carpet fashion seemed to be more scaled back than the bold looks we’ve come to know and love (even the red carpet was black).
The 2022 MTV VMAs was full of dark and moody tones, cut-out silhouettes, and halter necklines. Lizzo kicked things off. The “About Damn Time” singer was one of the first celebrities to arrive at the ceremony, wearing a blue-black gown from Jean Paul Gaultier’s spring 2022 couture collection, designed by Glenn Martens.
