Katy Perry raises the bar on human attractiveness on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter.

Katy Perry appears on the latest cover of The Hollywood Reporter, and we're honestly not quite sure whether to discuss the actual article, in which she discusses her divorce from Russell Brand, or the fact that she somehow managed to rise a heretofore insurmountable bar on her own hotness.

Who are we kidding? We basically wanna talk about how hot Katy Perry looks all the time, and this is no exception. Aside from her retro-glam cover shot, Katy also dons a stunning maroon colored cutout dress (um HELLO, that tiny waist) and werques her killer legs in a black and green minidress. (Imma need that for a date tomorrow night if you're willing to let me borrow? LMK.)

Inside the issue, Katy, who just premiered her "Wide Awake" video earlier this week, discusses her divorce, her desire to start a record label (!!!), and other emotional topics like her career’s affect on her parents and her conversations with God. And look, we're tooootally interested in reading about all of that! But before we do, can we just say one more time that we still don't understand HOW a real person can be this beautiful? Katy Perry is straight-up morphing into Elizabeth Taylor right before our very eyes. We'll cool it now and just return to our weird, humble little corner (which is PLASTERED IN KATY PERRY PHOTOS.) As you were, everyone.
