Perry provokes critics with mock spoon snap


(Monday October 27, 2008 12:00 AM)

Pop star Katy Perry has mocked the furore over a controversial promotional photo showing the star holding a knife up to her face - by striking a similar pose with a spoon in a new internet photo.

The I Kissed A Girl hitmaker provoked outrage in the UK after the PR snaps for her album One For The Boys surfaced last week.

She defended herself against the criticism, insisting she is "against all violence" and claimed the photo was three years old.

But she has stirred controversy by making light of the situation on her website with the spoof snap, in which she holds a spoon against her cheek, similar to the original knife picture.

The photo is accompanied by the caption: "But I do condone eating ice cream with a very large spoon."
