MUSIC NEWS - Katy Perry has refuted claims that the photo showing her posing with a flick knife in a photo shoot (see pix at left) perpetuate knife crimes in the UK. As reported recently in the music press, the "dubious" picture was taken by acclaimed fashion photographer Terry Richardson for potential use in the marketing and promotion of Perry's album, 'One Of The Boys', but was later rejected. As with so many images these days, it showed up online, causing some folks to denounce the singer for setting a bad example at a time when knife crime is a hot topic in the UK. Her US publicist told MTV: "Katy Perry is against all violence. The photo in question was taken in 2005 and is in no way related to the current events in the UK". That should settle the matter, OK ?
