　　就像加州火辣的陽光一樣,加州女孩凱蒂·佩里(Katy Perry)對音樂熱情似火!
　　Katy Perry is the ultimate California girl!
　　Have you ever heard of Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson?Don’t feel bad if you haven’t.Nobody else has,either.Almost everybody in the world has heard of Katheryn by her stage name,though.Does Katy Perry sound familiar?The ultimate California girl was born in Santa Barbara,California,in 1984.Her hit song,California Gurls,doesn’t leave any doubt that Katy loves her home state!
　　Katy wasn’t always a wild and crazy pop star,though.She grew up on church music played by her parents.Her first album in 2001 was a gospel album,but it failed when the record company went out of business.Katy didn’t give up,though.It’s a good thing,too,because she gained international fame in 2007 after signing with another record company.
　　Katy’s most recent hit,California Gurls,is for her home state.She says that she was in a club when she heard Alicia Keys and Jay-Z’s song,Empire State* of Mind (《帝國之心》).“Everybody was dancing to the song,and I thought,‘We’re not in New York,we’re in L.A.!What about California?What about our sweet homes,the swaying palm trees,and the sun-kissed skin?I decided that we needed to make a response.I want people to want to book a ticket to California the first time they hear it!” And,it works.How can you not want to visit California where there are “unforgettable California girls with sun-kissed skin that will melt your popsicle?”
　　Of course,California isn’t just about music.It’s also the home of Hollywood.Katy wouldn’t be the ultimate California girl if she didn’t plan on breaking into the acting business.She’ll lend her voice to Smurfette in 2011’s film The Smurfs (《藍(lán)精靈》).What else would you expect from the ultimate California girl?
