Katy Perry Denies Conflict With MTV Awards

Pop singer Katy Perry has retaliated back at stories she looked at calling off her public presentation at the approaching MTV Video Music Awards after network executives declined to promote her as the opening number. The "I Kissed a Girl" hitmaker has been proposed for multiple honors at the event on Sunday after the naughty melody moved her to stardom. Only according to a New York newspaper source, she was discovered "sounding off that she was not expected to open at the VMAs since her song is also provocative." A representative for the singer has struck back at the stories, contributing Perry was "accused falsely" and will be playing at the appearance, although not as its first number.
