Katy Perry Is MTV's First Artist Of The Year

According to TV Guide Katy Perry is being honored by MTV as their first Artist Of The Year.

MTV announced the honor on their website and wrote: "Perry is one of the new millennium's biggest pop stars, and she matched some of pop's greatest icons on the charts this year."

In addition....."She made us giggle with an LOL-worthy hosting stint on SNL and made her big-screen debut voicing the iconic Smurfette in The Smurfs. Offscreen, she's proved to be the kind of girl that can laugh off rumors that she's pregnant and getting divorced. She's loud, cool and a real girl's girl."

Accepting her award Perry said, "I wasn't really allowed to watch MTV growing up so this feels really validating."

Earlier this week, the singer — whose album, Teenage Dream, has produced five No. 1 singles, a feat matched only by Michael Jackson — was also named one of Barbara Walter's Most Fascinating People of 2011.

Katy Perry is having quite a fabulous year not to mention all the different hair color, hair length and style changes she's had.  The singer has also introduced her new fragrance and has a hot husband.
