A few ideas for Michael Lohan
Tue, 14/06/2011 - 11:58 by Harry BowYou might have already seen stills from Katy Perry's Last Friday Night video, but now the full eight minute clip has been released - we managed to get through two minutes, approximately the exact moment Rebecca Black appears in a cameo role. Go figure, as Perry and her chums would probably say. Can you manage any longer? If so, you might even get to the point where Corey Feldman and Debbie Gibson feature, hilariously playing the singer's parent. Zzzzzzzzzzz
Talking of which, Katy Perry's real parents have been getting a bit of press of their own recently after taking their own show on the road with a stop-off in London. The New York Post ran an article about it - extract below, full article here - which makes you wonder if Corey Feldman could actually be a better dad….
"For an hour, Keith Hudson has been pacing around the sanctuary of the Kings Road Church on the outskirts of London. With his shaved head, wide-open eyes and thick black glasses, he’s a striking figure who frequently punctuates his sermon with a loud “Hallelujah!”
As his wife Mary watches on, he has been telling the congregation his story — that Satan has lured his daughter away, that she has fallen. But that he must love her anyway. Must pray for her.
Pretty typical stuff for a preacher — even an American one so far from home.
But then he stops short, ready to unleash his big pitch. With tears in his eyes, hollering at the top of his voice, he delivers his keynote with as much bombast as he can muster: “I kissed God — and I liked it!”
Their services repeatedly namecheck Perry and her husband, Russell Brand, the English comic with a lurid past of drug addiction and rampant promiscuity (“Anyone here heard of Russell Brand? He’s my son in law. I love Russell. He’s a wonderful man.”) and overwrought condescension (“We pray for him — pray for the entertainers.”).
The fundamental message, however, is simple: Keith and Mary disapprove of their daughter and her peculiar husband, but by God they are enjoying the attention.
Tears in his eyes, he went on: “I understand the burden of having a daughter or son that is not serving God. When my daughter came out and sang that song, ‘I kissed a girl, and I liked it.’ I said, ‘My ministry is over.’
“We get people all the time saying, ‘How? How, that you’re a minister all these years and you raised Katy in the church, how could she come out with a song like that?’ I look at them and I say, ‘I don’t know.’
“But maybe you’re sitting here, you saw in the paper that Katy Perry’s parents are coming to church and you wanted to come check it out. Let me tell you everything is divinely ordered. There is no coincidence that you’re sitting here today. God brought you here.”
"We must pray for our family. We all have our crosses to bear. If you have a son or a daughter that is not serving God, just stand up right now. Don’t be embarrassed. Don’t be ashamed. Listen, we love them. I love Katy. I want everybody to go to heaven, but I want my family most of all. What would heaven be without them? It won’t be the same.”
Ostensibly he and Mary were in the UK to preach the Gospel, however pastor Ray Toms says the service was a last-minute booking.
“They were coming to their daughter’s concert in London and rang up to say they’d like to preach at our church,” he says. “They turned up 10 minutes before the service began and just jumped up and got on with it. To be quite honest, one or two people in our church didn’t take to them. They felt these people were cashing in on their daughter’s fame. But a lot of young people turned up because of the Katy Perry connection and five of them made a fresh commitment to God that day."
Well, he deserves something really special from his daughter during this weekend's father's day... Made being forced to watch her video on repeat all day.

A good point, well made.
“We get people all the time saying, ‘How? How, that you’re a minister all these years and you raised Katy in the church, how could she come out with a song like that?’ I look at them and I say, ‘I don’t know.’<< What's that name of that rhtorical device where you load the question with the blindingly obvious answer to that question. Plato did it. To sort of snare his interlocutors into looking foolish. Glad to see this technique is still alive and well.
Carrie may have had a few issues, but she didn't marry a man who'd shagged Imogen Thomas and then starred in Arthur..
It's a bad thing when you're ashamed of your own parents. And I'm not suggesting Katy is but (whispers) she ought to be. Her dad sounds like the sort of fundaMENTAList who frightens children. Do you know what he reminds me of - Carrie's mum. And we all know how that turned out.
