BreakTime BreakDown 27Feb2014 – Katy Perry John Mayer Take Trip To Splitsville

Lady GaGa filed a permit to perform at SXSW, an event held on the Doritos stage in Austin, TX.  However, officials denied her permite.  It turns out that the officials looked through the logistics of everything, and GaGa is simply too big of a draw for the venue.  The crowd she would attract would bring them over capacity and they would not be able to handle GaGa's own production team.  You can read the whole story HERE

Katy Perry is on a roll, having been on our BreakTime BreakDown several days in a row now.

If you recall previous rumors, she was supposedly engaged to her boyfriend John Mayer on Valentine's Day earlier this month.  She was then spotted sporting a huge ring that definitely looked like an engagement ring.

The next rumor was that they had their wedding all planned out for June and even picked out a venue.  Well now the couple is no longer together.  I think I can speak for everyone when I say, that was fast.  Full story HERE

Miley appears to be a big fan of the headlines lately as well.  This time she is on BreakTime BreakDown addressing a few of the rumors surrounding her lately.  One of the rumors she wanted to address was the fact that she was cast for the part of Tinkerbell in a stage adaptation of Peter Pan.  "I would rather choke on my own tongue" the singer responded to the rumor.

She also pointed out that the 'intimate' picture of her and Justin Bieber was a photoshop.
