Lollapalooza Extracurricular: Katy Perry

Not every artist that comes into Chicago around this time are slated to perform. Current Hot 100 crown-winner Katy Perry took the evening off from her duties at Warped Tour to visit with friends at Chicago's Manor nightclub on the second night of this Lollapalooza weekend. A gorgeously decorated joint with bottle service to the brim, Manor was packed with maybe a hundred late-night partiers as Perry, 23, and her entourage made way to the VIP.

JI caught up with the young singer just prior to her brief vocal performance of "Hot N Cold" and her current hit "I Kissed a Girl." She mentioned how exhausted she was from the Warped festivities, though she seemed at least thankful. "I rarely go out at night anymore. Tonight's an exception. Besides maybe one of these every now again," she said pointing to her champagne, "I'm completely clean. I have to be."

Asked what she does to decompress, Perry explained "I just sleep as much as I can. I work out a lot, too." That's far from OUR minds when we need a good relax.

We imagine singing a couple songs from tabletops at small clubs is by far one of the easiest swaggy gigs stars like Perry can score, but we couldn't help but to notice how much touring tends to wipe out even young acts like Perry.

This is why we are convinced Miley Cyrus is a robot.
