Singer Katy Perry had a lot to celebrate when she turned 24 on October 25. Her singles “UR So Gay” and “I Kissed a Girl” are worldwide hits and she’s getting ready to go on tour in January 2009. So Katy threw a “fantasy birthday party” at Siren Studios in Hollywood on Oct. 28 complete with a ghoulish Halloween theme. Over cocktails made with Malibu Rum, Katy — dressed as her idol Freddie Mercury from the rock band Queen — partied with family and friends and talked to Star’s Heidi Parker about what’s next.

Tell us about your costume.
I like to mix my style up between what you’d see on Dita Von Teese and Agnes Deyn. I blend classic and punk rock. But for this party I wanted to do something different. You can dress slutty 364 days out of the year but one day a year you have to be creative. Queen is my favorite band so dressing up like Freddie seemed appropriate though this mustache is a bit uncomfortable and my fake teeth are making me lisp.

Do you normally have such major birthday bashes?
Yes, I love to throw big parties. When I turned 21, I rented out a roller rink and had McDonald’s cater it — that was my favorite party ever! Last year I had a Mad Hatter dinner where everyone wore those Alice In Wonderland hats. I always like people to have a great time. That’s who I am. I want to have fun in everything I do — my music, my life, my touring.

Have you gotten any great birthday gifts yet?
Well, my music label gave me this Cartier gold bangle bracelet which I have always wanted. I was so happy! It’s a big gift. Normally you would expect something like this from a boyfriend, not your label!

Are you already working on another record?
I am always thinking of new ideas. I have a tape recorder that I walk around with all the time. I’ll be at the grocery store and be like, “I have a melody in my head, let me record it.”

Rumor has it Britney Spears’ ringtone is “UR So Gay.” What do you think about that?
I guess I can rest in peace. That’s just awesome. I like her music. I think “Toxic” is her best song ever. I think she can have her moments of just being a true entertainer and she always delivers. I wish her luck with her next album.

Earlier this year Madonna sang your praises on radio station KIIS FM. How about a duet with her?
That would all be up to Madonna because you know how Madonna is. Of course, I would welcome it.

Tell us about next year’s tour.
It’s a world tour. All over America, Japan, Australia, Europe. I have some exciting people opening for me too. It will still be at intimate venues, it won’t be at huge places. I’ll have like 1,500 people in the audience — so people can still see me.

Earlier this summer, Katy Perry teamed up with Denny’s to help host Warped Tour after parties. She also invaded their kitchen to make a brand new menu item that is launching in restaurants THIS WEEK!

Named after her newest single “Hot N Cold,” she made the “The Hot N Cold Cherry Chocolate Cappuccino” which is literally a drink layered with hot & cold items like vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, cherries, French vanilla cappucinno and whipped cream. It will be available in Denny’s across the country as part of the Rockstar Menu that is served from 10pm – 5am each night.

Katy Perry almost scrapped the release of her hit track I Kissed A Girl – until boyfriend Travis McCoy made the singer change her mind.

The charttopper was reluctant to release the track because its homosexual content went against her parents religious beliefs.
But McCoy predicted it would be a smash hit.

He says, “As soon as Katy played I Kissed A Girl I said, ‘Baby, this is a smash’. I totally knew from the word go, but she wasn’t sure. She was like, ‘Do you really think so?’ I proved it to her.”
