PERRY DENIES SLAMMING EX DURING PERFORMANCE

KATY PERRY has blasted reports she warned girls not to date her ex TRAVIS MCCOY during a recent show - insisting she was jokingly referring to DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE frontman BENJAMIN GIBBARD. The singer split from Gym Class Heroes frontman MCCoy at Christmas (08) after almost a year together, with MCCoy claiming the pair had been arguing for weeks before they decided to go their separate ways.
Perry has avoided commenting on the break-up, but it was reported she had slammed her former lover's commitment issues during her performance at Los Angeles' Wiltern Theatre on Saturday (31Jan09).
She was reported to have told the crowd, "Girls, if you have ever dated a boy - specifically the lead singer from Gym Class Heroes - don't do it! Boys should have a heart. You know what I mean girls? Boys just want the milk, but they don't want to buy the cow."
But her representative has hit out at the reports, insisting the singer actually told fans, "Girls if you feel me, if you've ever dated the lead singer from Death Cab For Cutie... it's not like that, I'm not engaged... this one goes out to him.
"To all of my upcoming relationships - one foot in, one foot out. He wants the milk but he never wants to buy the cow."
