Born – October 25, 1984
Santa Barbara, California, U.S.
Singer, actress, manufactured pop tart.
Released an album no one bought, repackaged herself as a prettier Cindi Lauper, became an international superstar.
Has a "kooky" persona that hot girls sometimes adopt to make themselves seem more interesting, but which everyone actually finds annoying (but which people tolerate because she's hot).
Is currently the only female artist to have five number one singles on one album, "Teenage Dream." And it's called "Teenage Dream" despite the fact that she was 26 when it was released.
Met Russell Brand, married Russell Brand, filed for divorce from Russell Brand (in that order).
Has brought her odd mix of innocence/sluttiness to many TV shows, including Sesame Street. Though her appearance was cut after parents saw her segment on YouTube and complained she was showing too much cleavage. Best parental comment: "My kid wants milk now".
Fun Fact: Has a song called "E.T." that's NOT about everyone's favorite beer drinking alien. Talk about bait and switch.
Sad Fact: Your daughter wants to be her.
