Katy Perry may be cool with stripping down to her skivvies for Rolling Stone, but the pop star says she takes her religion very seriously.

“I am sensitive to Russell taking the Lord’s name in vain and to Lady Gaga putting a rosary in her mouth,” the pop star, 25, told Rolling Stone about her fiancé Russell Brand’s often dirty mouth and Lady Gaga’s “Alejandro” video. “I think when you put sex and spirituality in the same bottle and shake it up, bad things happen.”

But the pop princess isn’t exactly known for keeping things PG.

In the pages of Rolling Stone, Perry sits topless on a beach in nothing but fishnet stockings in one picture and poses in Daisy Dukes and a bikini top in several others.

Perry says she has no problem being sexy, though, as long as it’s in good taste.

“Yes, I said I kissed a girl,” she explained in the magazine. “But I didn’t say I kissed a girl while f-ing a crucifix.”

Back in June, Perry slammed Gaga’s controversial “Alejandro” music video, Tweeting, “Using blasphemy as entertainment is as cheap as a comedian telling a fart joke.”

But Gaga’s not the only celeb Perry’s reportedly bashed lately.

After the MuchMusic Awards in Toronto, Perry stirred up some drama by calling Miley Cyrus’s new look “Britney Spears all over again.”

“It’s a little gross” Perry said about the controversy. “I’m sure no one knew or cared about that line about Miley.”

But while Perry keeps in the loop about what people are saying about her, she says she tries not to get a big head.

“Any artist who says they don’t Google their name is a big fat liar,” she said, but, “When you look at other celebrities’ Twitter feeds and see them posting about something they read about themselves on a Google Alert, it’s like, ‘Uh, maybe you should stop Googling yourself every day, the world does not spin around you.’”

Katy Perry has given Russell Brand a literally out-of-this-world birthday present with a trip to outer space. According to E! News, the “California Gurls” hitmaker has bought her comedian fiance a seat on Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic space venture that is worth for $200,000 as his 35th birthday.

A spokesperson for Virgin Galactic has confirmed the report. Louella Faria, a representative for the space tourism company, stated, “It is true. We are very excited to have him on board.” The voyage itself will take the “Get Him to the Greek” star and other passengers to more than 365,000 feet into the Earth’s atmosphere.

Once reaching the atmosphere, the passengers will be allowed to unbuckle and float weightlessly for five minutes before shuttling back to Earth. A space agent for Virgin Galactic detailed, “There will be 17-inch-diameter windows to look out onto. Passengers will be able to view Earth around 800 miles in any direction from space.”

Before his departure, Russell will be required to do some preparations, including two to three days of astronaut training. Virgin’s representative further revealed once the actor returns to the Earth, he’ll get pinned with astronaut wings. “They will pop champagne, give you astronaut wings and give you a party,” so the spokesperson claimed.

Though she has bought a seat for her fiance, 25-year-old Katy hasn’t purchased any ticket for herself just yet. Nonetheless, E! claimed she has got invited to wait at Virgin Galactic’s New Mexico spaceport for Russell’s return. Still, a friend close to the “Hot N Cold” singer said, “She should get the seat right next to him.”
