" Lollipops, and cotton candy, and cupcakes -- oh my! Such is the premise for bubblegum pop superstar Katy Perry&amp;#039;s new film which is half concert footage and half documentary. Katy shows her fans her journey from a beaming kindergardener singing patriotic tunes in her school chorus, to an up-and-coming gospel singer, to her &amp;quot;California Gurls&amp;quot; takeover and rise to pop superstardom.  The film chronicles what Katy&amp;#039;s personal and professional life has been like for the past year preparing for and performing over 124 shows on her worldwide &amp;quot;California Dreams Tour.&amp;quot; With a front-row seat at Katy&amp;#039;s record breaking show, KatyCats get to see the stars ubiquitous pastel wigs and elaborate candy costumes that we all know and love her for. And the amazing 3D effects (and Katy&amp;#039;s super-cute heart-shaped and pastel 3D glasses!) transport you to the floor of Katy&amp;#039;s concert. You can almost feel the confetti raining, the whipped cream spraying, and the beach balls bouncing through the arena from your seat!  But Katy is not always on cotton candy cloud 9 in her new film. The &amp;quot;Teenage Dream&amp;quot; singer gives everyone a backstage pass and includes raw footage shot during her break-up with comedian Russell Brand and her struggles to put her personal heartache aside to be there for her throngs of fans. One particular scene shows Katy hysterically breaking down before heading on stage and crying again during her show when Brazilian fans chant &amp;quot;We love you Katy!&amp;quot; in Portuguese. But the show always goes on, and Katy always puts her fans first, doing countless meet-and-greets and even pulling some of her best-dressed fans up on stage to dance with her.  KatyCats will see a new side of Katy, and will leave forging a personal connection with the pop star. Her raw and personal moments with the camera are fresh, emotional, and open. Katy says she loves fairy tales and is living in one, but she is more than just the first female to have the most #1 singles off of one album. Never far from her sister (who travels on tour with Katy - and dressed up as Kathy Beth Terry on stage for one concert!), Katy also displays her amazing relationship with her parents, brother, and, of course, her 91 year-old grandmother (who steals the show in her Pink Ladies-esque &amp;quot;California Dreams Tour&amp;quot; jacket!). Katy&amp;#039;s even seen goofing off with her two best friends and says she always feels like a teenager. That&amp;#039;s our kinda girl.  Katy Perry: Part of Me is part sugar, part spice, and everything nice! Are you excited to see Katy&amp;#039;s movie? Let us know in the comments section! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
