American singer Katy Perry excited about Smurfette role

American singer Katy Perry is excited about playing Smurfette in an upcoming movie, which is a remake of the popular TV cartoon The Smurfs.

Perry said she wasn’t allowed to watch the cartoon when she was a child.

“I’m going to be Smurfette. I’m so excited! I’ve never seen an episode, because my parents wouldn't let me,” the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Perry as saying.

“My mother thought that Smurfette was a little bit slutty, being the only female in the village. And now I’ve shown her: I called her up and said, ''Guess what, ma? I'm Smurfette,” she added.

“It was just like one of those days, ‘Guess what, mom? I kissed a girl!’ ‘Guess what, mom? I'm going to be naked in a music video,’” Perry told MTV news.
