Whoopi Goldberg kisses Katy Perry on the lips

PLEASE CHECKOUT THIS VERSION OF "THINKING OF YOU" BY KATE PERRY




"I hope you hang yourself with your H&M scarf/While jacking off listening to Mozart," Katy Perry tells her metrosexual ex on "Ur So Gay." Risqué words, coming from the daughter of two Christian pastors who only let her listen to gospel tunes as a kid. Now 23, the L.A. singer bucks the WWJD'ers with a debut full of mall-punky, grrrl-power tunes produced by Glen Ballard (Alanis Morissette) and Dr. Luke (Avril Lavigne). But her attention-grabbing doesn't feel very rebellious: On the New Wave-y club single "I Kissed a Girl" — a vanilla recounting of her chick-on-chick exploits — she sounds like the type who makes out with her BFF just to get a dude's attention. And when she's not acting out, she's a total snooze. "Mannequin," a lament about a guy who's too stoic ("You're not a man, you're just a mannequin!"), recalls Cher's Eighties catalog. And the acoustic ode "Thinking of You," which compares an unrequited lover to "an Indian summer in the middle of winter," is generic Dawson's Creek schlock. Yes, Perry has a heart, but it sounds like her bustier's too tight for her to use it.

48 hours pass as search continues for 3 missing boaters

CLEARWATER, Florida (CNN) -- The search for three missing boaters, including two NFL players, continued throughout the night and into early Tuesday off Florida's Gulf Coast. The search had passed its 48th hour.

With 2,000 square miles of water to search, the hope was the three were still alive despite having been dumped into the sea during a storm.

A fourth boater, former University of South Florida football player Nick Schuyler, had been found clinging to their small overturned fishing boat Monday afternoon. He was found about 39 miles west of Egmont Key, Florida, sitting atop the overturned 21-foot boat with a life jacket on.

Schuyler told his Coast Guard rescuers that their boat was anchored Saturday evening when it was overturned by waves, said Capt. Timothy M. Close, Coast Guard Sector St. Petersburg command

Schuyler told them that all four men clung to the boat for a time, but became separated, Close said.

Still missing early Tuesday were Oakland Raiders linebacker Marquis Cooper and NFL free agent Corey Smith, who played for the Detroit Lions for the past three seasons. Also missing was William Bleakley, a former University of South Florida football player.

Based on what Schuyler told the Coast Guard, they were able to narrow the search from 16,000 square miles.

Schuyler last saw his three friends at 2 a.m. Monday, his father told CNN affiliate WTSP in Tampa on Monday afternoon. The three were wearing life vests.

Early Tuesday, the Coast Guard search involved three cutters and an aircraft, said Petty Officer Sondra-Kay Kneen of the Coast Guard. By daybreak, search craft were to be switched out and were to include two helicopters, she said.


The four boaters had embarked in the single-engine boat from the Seminole Boat Ramp near Clearwater Pass about 6:30 a.m. Saturday, the Coast Guard said.

The search was launched early Sunday after friends and relatives realized they had not returned from fishing.

On Monday afternoon, Schuyler appeared to be conscious and talking in video showing him being removed from a Coast Guard helicopter.

While he was initially able to answer a few questions to help with the search, officials decided to wait until he was treated for hypothermia before talking with him again, Coast Guard Petty Officer Robert Simpson said. On Monday evening, Schuyler was in serious condition at Tampa General Hospital.

Cooper was aware of Sunday's weather forecast and for that reason picked Saturday for the trip, his wife, Rebekah, told WTSP on Sunday afternoon.

"Fishing is his first love, it always has been," she said, adding, "I have a lot of faith in him out there." Smith and Cooper were teammates with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for part of the 2004 season, when Cooper was a rookie, according to the NFL's Web site.
