Katy Perry wants an A-list stripper for bachelorette party

If Katy Perry gets her way, Rihanna will appear in the flesh at her upcoming bachelorette party. And she means that literally.

The "I Kissed a Girl" singer revealed in a recent radio interview that she expects her famous pal to peel off her clothes at Perry's big blowout. "I want her to strip at my bachelorette party," Perry, who is engaged to "Get Him to the Greek" star Russell Brand, told Chicago's 103.4 KISS FM's Nina Chantele.

Rihanna, 22, is reportedly hosting the naughty night out, though Perry admitted that the "Rock Star" singer doesn't know about the plan to have her take it all off. "She's gonna get the message right now," 25-year-old Perry said, adding that when it comes to Rihanna's body, she wants to see the whole bit - "[she's] hot!"

Brand and Perry have not announced an official wedding date.

'Sons of Anarchy' creator says he's no thief

Zito has reportedly filed a $5 million lawsuit against the network claiming their show is suspiciously similar to one he came up with a dozen years ago and pitched six years ago. The series follows the exploits of a group of outlaw bikers and stars Charlie Hunnam, Ron Perlman and Katey Sagal.

At the ripe old age of 24, Amanda Bynes is saying goodbye to acting.

Bynes, who was just 10 when she made her name on the Nickelodeon show “All That” before getting her own series, “The Amanda Show,” made her announcement on Saturday via Twitter.

"Being an actress isn't as fun as it may seem," tweeted the star, who counts Marilyn Monroe and Angelina Jolie among her idols. "If I don't love something anymore, I stop doing it. I don't love acting anymore, so I've stopped doing it."

The “Hairspray” star added, "I've never written the movies & tv shows I've been a part of. I've only acted like the characters the producers or directors wanted me to play."

Bynes didn’t say what she’ll do next, but in the meantime, she’ll make her final appearance on the big screen this September in the high-school comedy, “Easy A.”
