KATY PERRY PREPARES FOR SUPER BOWL

LOS ANGELES (AP) _ Katy Perry is promising her Super Bowl halftime show will be colorful, funny and in good taste. Perry says her goal is to have people talk about her music and nothing else by the end. She knows the reputation of performers who pushed too far with the Super Bowl halftime, and while she says she can’t control other people, she says she has no incentive to sabotage herself. Perry says her kind of sexiness is not blatant but done with a wink. She also believes the NFL needs someone like her after Baltimore Ravens star Ray Rice was seen assaulting his then-fiancee in an elevator. Perry says she’s all about female empowerment and her songs like “Roar” and “Firework” mean there’s no better person for the halftime show than her.
