Sexuality-wise, the jury’s out. She kissed a girl. She liked it. And then she faced a barrage of criticism from both stuffy conservatives and a (slightly more effeminate) backlash from the gay community. Yet somehow, her place as one of pop’s hottest new faces already seems assured. Debut album One Of The Boys has already sold a million copies and, with saucily-attired live performances regularly playing to sell-out crowds, her success shows sign of slowing down. In short, she’s the 21st Century’s Britney Spears. Only with more musical attitude, a less conventional look and a healthier mental state.

Debut single I Kissed A Girl hit number one in over 20 countries.

She’s due to make her Hollywood debut opposite Russell Brand, in upcoming comedy Get Him To The Greek, due out in 2010.

She released an album of Christian music in 2001, under birth name Katy Hudson.
