Katy Perry to Fans: Get Me on Glee

A Facebook campaign landed Betty White a gig hosting Saturday Night Live.Now Katy Perry is hoping she can have the same success and land a gig on Glee.

"Please," she said. "I would love somebody to start that Facebook group and persuade them. I would absolutely love that."

Perry is currently filming her first movie — she's the voice of Smurfette in a CGI version of The Smurfs.

Did Betty White ask people to create a Facebook campaign to get her to host SNL? No, it happened because she deserved it. So if Katy Perry deserves to be on Glee, she'll be on Glee without asking for help. But she doesn't, so she won't.

Hi Bob, numero uno- I was speaking to everyone, not just to you, so get over yourself. Dos- if you're an atheist than you are just as closed-minded as the homophobes. For starters, you CAN'T PROOVE that God doesn't exist... so ruling out the possibility of his existence makes you sound crazier than you think I sound. At most, "agnostic" makes more sense. Tres- OUR PROOF THAT GOD EXISTS is that everything has to have a beginning, including your little Big Bang (and no, I'm not talking about what goes on in your bedroom). Things just don't go bang by themselves. Something had to have had caused it, and since "something" can not just happen on its own, there must have been a SOMEONE to have created it. There's OUR PROOF that there is a higher power. Cheers

I found that "Ur So Gay" song extremely insensitive and offensive, utterly egregious, and unforgivable. Like, permanently. I don't care what she's done since. Again, extraordinarily insensitive. Incredibly poor judgment. "Glee" is the absolute last place she belongs. Yes, I suggest she go ahead and perform "Ur So Gay" for Ryan Murphy (and Jane Lynch, etc.) as her audition. Her "gay" taunting is about as contrary to the spirit, ethos, and themes of "Glee" as something could be. I'd be happy to support a counter-petition to keep her permanently off of "Glee." Like Ann Coulter, the best thing I wish for her is to just retire from public life. She's made the world a worse place, not better.

Chris, let's get a couple things straight. 1. I'm not a bitter queen whatever the fuck that is. 2. I'm an atheist, I mean who the hell still believes in religion? I thought it would've died down by now in the developed world and 3. "Towards" isn't a word. Kthnxbai bitch.

Attention bitter queens: if you end up in Hell its won't be on account of homosexuality but rather your hatred towards our merciful God. Hate on the gay-hating Christians if you want, but don't give up on God.

*scoffs* Annoying bitch. Yes Katy get your hypocritical religious bigoted ass on Glee a show by the way made by an openly GAY man oh noess hope that doesnt bother you.*rolls eyes* Not to mention you sure have done so much for the LGBT community I think we should help you get on there. Heres why: You made a video called I Kissed a Girl originally made by a women who IS GAY in real life and she actually did kiss a girl in the video.You on the other hand just remade that song to market yourself to the public while at the same time teasing the LGBT community and playing them for fools with that song. Secondly your hilarious statement about the transgender community when you openly mocked a guy dressed up as you on Twitter that you posted for everyone to see. Lastly your Ur So Gay video which even the title alone is offensive to the LGBT community . So yes I will help you Katy.Ryan is looking for a conservative bitch at the moment who is uncomfortable with gays= perfect role for you:)

Chris, thanks for being proactive in starting that group. This girl is a snake in the grass, and has made homophobic, anti-gay remarks in her lyrics (toward male homosexuality). She has probably made them elsewhere, as well. It's nice to see that others have paid attention and wised up to her bs. Don't support this creature.
