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.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been described as "poor D-Listers by Hollywood standards," according to a royal author. Harry, 38, and Meghan, 41, moved to a sprawling £12.65million ($14m) mansion in Montecito, California, in 2020, after sensationally stepping down from their senior roles within the Royal Family and embarking on a new life in America.They boast famous neighbours such as Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom in their exclusive residential area, however, rumours have been swirling that they wish to move to a bigger property.
Royal biographer, Tina Brown, doesn't reckon that they have the means to do so though, as their fortune is likely to be dwarfed by that of some of Tinseltown's fabulously rich A-Listers, many of whom are billionaires.
She said: "It's not very pleasant to be a D-list celebrity who, for them, doesn't have enough money. It's a wholly different game to be with those super-rich people.
In Montecito, where they live, their $14 million mansion is a humble cottage compared to what these other people have." After reports that Meghan had been house hunting in the exclusive Hope Ranch area, not far from her current home, Tina suggested that Meghan might be looking to move on from more than just her house one day.
