Did You Hear?

:: Katy Perry took a stand for gay marriage while being interviewed on Australian radio. She was put through to the leader of the opposition Tony Abbott (who is vehemently against same-sex nuptials) and put him on the spot by saying “love is equal”. When the host intervened, the “Roar” diva told the politician not to expect her vote. [Same Same]

:: Justin Bieber is trying to rehabilitate his image by hanging with the ever popular Will Smith. The pair took a picture together, which the troubled teen later posted on Instagram. He even had a shirt on! [MTV Buzzworthy]

:: I’m sure you’re desperate to hear what Robin Thicke‘s dad, ’80s actor Alan Thicke, thinks of his son’s NSFW “Blurred Lines” video. In short, he loves it. [Village Voice]

:: Missy Elliott will be performing at K-Pop convention KCON 2013 when it rolls into Los Angeles later this month alongside G-Dragon. Hopefully, this is the start of a comeback for the legendary femcee. [PopDust]
