Katy Perry's "California Gurls" So Sweet It Hurts

The incomparable busty pop tart Katy Perry has just unveiled her pastel-colored, candy-coated new video on MTV for her latest summer track, "California Gurls!" featuring her collaboration, rapper Snoop Dogg. "California Gurls" serves as the lead single of her upcoming third studio album, "Teenage Dream," which is set for release on August 24. It's way too sweet on a variety of levels, and the fashion of the video includes her 'cupcake bras' that are quite funny as well.
The video was directed by Mathew Cullen who has plenty of surprises packed in his sweet tooth. In the music video, Perry is a Candyfornia's part, a game based in poker and board games. The queen of 'Candyfornia' is dressed in little or nothing and trounces around Candyfornia trying to save her California Gurls from Dogg's Sugar Daddy and his Gummi Bear minions. The settings are inspired in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, where there many cupcakes, ice creams, candy floss and lollipops. Moreover some California's elements are also appear, like Hollywood Walk of Fame, Hollywood Sign and some West Coast beaches.
"It's definitely something to watch when you have the munchies. It's all edible. We named it 'Candyfornia' instead of 'California,' so it's a different world," Perry in interview with MTV News. "It's not just like, 'Oh, let's go to the beach and throw a party and then shoot a music video!' It's more like, 'Let's put us California Gurls in a whole different world!'" The video is bright and brash and very likely to give you a toothache. Like the song, there is nothing understated about it.
The 25-year-old Grammy-nominated artist has gone from internet music sensation to bona fide international star in just two years. Her multi-platinum debut album, "One of the Boys," generated four hit singles: "I Kissed A Girl," "Hot N Cold," "Thinking Of You" and "Waking Up In Vegas." "It looks like it's going to be a sleepless year," she told MTV News. "It's gonna be really fun. I think we're going to do these type of things, especially for the fans. We're just starting to roll the record out, and it's all beginning again. Although I don't feel like I'm back. I feel like it's a continuum." Meanwhile, "California Gurls," is currently the No.1 song in the country, and the fastest-rising single to Top 10 radio in more than four years. Overall, the video is a sweet treat for your eyes. Eye candy definitely can't be missed in this video!
