Katy Perry’s Parents Promote Perfume, No Comment on Divorce

Katy Perry’s parents, who are evangelical ministers, talked about their famous daughter at religious services in Ohio on Wednesday, but sidestepped the issue of her divorce from Russell Brand.

Keith and Mary Hudson, who arrived at Church on the Rise in Westlake, outside Cleveland, to host two nights of “prophetic services,” said they attend Perry’s concerts even though they don’t love the idea of people worshiping pop idols.

“I only go for one reason and one reason only … because I love my daughter and I will always love her,” Keith Hudson said.

The Hudsons billed themselves as “Katy Perry’s parents” on marketing materials for the event, but then told the crowd of about 300 that they don’t need help from anyone famous – or their relatives – to find God.

“I’m sure that Katy’s trending on the Internet was to get you here to church tonight,” Mary Hudson said in her opening remarks.

“You don’t need a verse or a scripture. You don’t need Katy Perry’s father,” Keith said later. “In the news they call us, ‘Katy Perry’s parents are religious.’ Do I look religious?”

Keith, who did most of the speaking, said he converted from a drug user to a Christian when he was 24 years old. He touched on the evolution of church, developing a relationship with Jesus, and keeping a relationship with one’s children.

“What has taken place in my daughter’s life has opened many opportunities to go in and be with guarded and gated people,” he said. “They like us because we’re cool. We are not threatening.”

He added: “The most important people on this Earth are your family. What would heaven be like without your children?”

The couple handed out samples of Katy’s new perfume, “Purr,” but did not mention the divorce.

Madonna Says Her Children Handle The Fame Well

Madonna is adamant her children have a healthy attitude towards fame, even though they are growing up in the spotlight.

The Material Girl insists 13-year-old daughter, Lourdes, from her relationship with Carlos Leon, and Rocco, nine, with ex-husband Guy Ritchie, as well as her adopted children David Banda and Mercy James, cope well with having a superstar mom. And she’s positive the good points about her celebrity status outweigh the bad.

She tells British TV show GMTV, “Since I don’t know what that (a normal life) means, I don’t know if they’d rather have that. Anyways they don’t have a choice, they’re stuck with the mother they have and I think they realize there are pluses and minuses to it. I think sometimes they’d like to walk down the street and just feel like normal kids and that happens, and other times, you know, they get great bonuses and perks out of being my children and they know it and they’re very grateful and appreciative for it.”

“I think they’re pretty balanced in terms of how they view fame and celebrity and things like that. I think it took them a while to adjust but they’re okay.”
