Katy Perry is kissing and telling about who prompted her to write her hit summer song.
"'I Kissed a Girl' was inspired when I opened up a magazine and I saw a picture of
Scarlett Johansson," she tells the latest issue of
Steppin' Out magazine.
She continued, "I was with my boyfriend at the time, and I said to him, 'I'm not going to lie: If Scarlett Johansson walked into the room and wanted to make out with me, I would make out with her. I hope you're okay with that?'
(In real life, Perry - who said she also
wants to kiss Miley Cyrus - is dating Gym Class Heroes singer
Travis McCoy. She even wears a promise ring.)
Perry isn't the only celeb wild about Johansson, who was named
Esquire's "sexiest woman alive" in 2006.
Kanye West recently announced on his Web site that the 23-year-old actress is his "
favorite white girl" and posted dozens of photos of her.
Gossip Girl star
Ed Westwick also gushed about the actress after she
got engaged to
Ryan Reynolds.
"Damn, I'm very disappointed!" he reported. "I missed my chance. That boat has sailed!
Do you think Scarlett is all that?
