Katy Perry, with her "eye of the tiger," has noticed a lot of naked pop stars lately.

Katy Perry's newest album, "Prism," is about growth in more ways than one.

The 28-year-old pop star is still skilled at churning out hits - "Prism's" first single, "Roar," being the latest to climb to No. 1 - but Perry herself is no longer ensconced in a "Teenage Dream."
