Katy Perry

These are photos of Katy Perry last week at the screening of her second concert movie, Katy Perry: The Prismatic World Tour. She’s wearing a Balenciaga tuxedo dress with lacy Giambattista Valli boots. Katy pretends to do goth every time she has a breakup.

Katy had a special companion on the red carpet, Butters the dog, who looks confused and like he’s looking for his real mom. Katy talked about Butters once before, when she was promoting her Super Bowl show. Katy admitted she picked up a dog on a whim — right after a breakup when she needed something to love. (Next to Christmastime, that’s the worst time to grab a new pet.) Katy told Billboard that she was too busy to care for Butters because she has an “empire” to run. Now she tells People how Butters comes on tour, but Katy won’t walk him or pick up his poop. That task is left for her assistant and back-up dancers:

“Butters comes everywhere with us. She’s such an amazing tour dog. She brings this incredible joy because sometimes it can get incredibly tiring on the road. All of the dancers will come in and walk her, so she has a really good relationship with the dancers and the band.”

But someone who’s not walking her? Her world-famous mama. “[My assistant] is her real mom and I’m her stepmom because I don’t pick up the doo-doo yet and I don’t like things waking me up at 7 a.m. But she’s so great.”

So … Butters is basically a cute accessory and something to trot out on the red carpet. Katy will play with Butters sometimes but doesn’t want to do any of the difficult stuff like wake up early for feedings or walks. This makes Katy seem even more shallow than we already knew. You’d think a lot of famous people do this, but we also see lots of paparazzi photos of celebs doing unglamorous things with their dogs. Part of having a pet is doing the not-so-fun stuff. What this tells me is that Russell Brand dodged a bullet with his failed baby-making plan.
