Katy Perry has achieved superstar status in her own right, with her fun, flashy concerts, crazy outfits and hit songs like "I Kissed a Girl." So who can make this pop princess all in a dither? Could it be Brad Pitt? Robert Pattinson? Prince?
Nope. It takes a rock legend to make Katy nervous!
"The amazing Brian May came out to my show in London last night and I was oh so flattered and nervous to play infront of him… especially my Queen cover," she dishes on her blog of meeting the icon.
"He was so sweet and my stalker side came out for sure… we had a photo session… and I wanted to share a picture with you of me and one of the men responsible for my love of music. If you haven’t gotten into the amazingness that was/is Queen get into it. FAT BOTTOM GIRLS YOU MAKE THIS ROCKING WORLD GO ROUND!"
Tell us how you really feel, Katy!

Jade Goody received a message of support from the Queen’s correspondence office during her final days, The Daily Mail is reporting.
The office wrote to the reality star after receiving a letter from Goody’s sister-in-law, Laura. Jade wrote about the letter in a diary she kept during her battle with cervical cancer.
In Jade: Forever In My Heart, excerpts of which appear in the UK edition of OK!, Goody wrote: "Jack’s sister Laura came and read out a letter from the Queen’s secretary: ‘I have been instructed to convey the Queen’s warmest good wishes to Jade at what must be a very difficult time for her and her family.’ Laura had written to her asking for her support because she knows how much I love the Queen.
" ‘The Queen!’ I said. That was so nice.’ "
The reality TV star, who died last month at age 27, also wrote of her love and admiration for husband Jack Tweed, who nursed her through her final weeks.
"Tweed was jailed for 12 weeks by magistrates in Harlow, Essex, today for assaulting a taxi driver, and was told he would have been given a longer sentence had it not been for the ‘recent change in (his) personal circumstances.’ "
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: "We respond to all letters that come to Buckingham Palace but the contents remain private."

Prince Charles knows how to party, apparently, and he’s planning two royal bashes in the upcoming months to celebrate his Nov. 14 60th birthday.
First a formal banquet will be held on Nov. 13 at Buckingam Palace, with guests like Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and then on Nov. 15 the Prince will have an event at Highgrove House, his family home, with 75 guests.
The two parties will be organized by Michael Fawcett, an expensive event planner chosen by Prince Charles’ wife Camilla.
“Camilla has worked extremely closely with the Queen and Michael on the formal birthday dinner. It will be an extravagant event with a lavish banquet," the Daily Star quotes a source as saying.
“Camilla is making the Highgrove party very much her own. She has invited Princes William and Harry and Kate Middleton and Chelsy Davy, as well as her children, Tom and Laura.”
However England, like America, is under a credit crunch right now as well. And just days before the announcement of the parties, the Daily Star says the Queen’s aides were seeking money to add to her 7.9 million pound civil list payment, which pays for upkeep her her household and expenses.
