Sure, all parents have expectations of what they hope their children might become,  But Mary Perry Hudson, Katy Perry’s mom, is prehaps feeling that disappointment on a different level as her daughter continues to strut, prance and flit her way to international success. Hudson, who works in Christian ministry, had hoped that her daughter would follow in her Christian faith and  according to the New York Post, Hudson has shopped around a memoir detailing her disappoint with her prodigal daughter. In the alleged proposal Hudson supposedly details her disappointment with the way Katy dresses and mentions her desire that Katy use her charisma to minister as a faith healer.

Since that article , however, Katy’s father has said  that Mary Perry Hudson is not trying to sell a book about her daughter because he and his wife have no desire to hurt their daughter with a salacious tell-all.

Hopefully that’s true. Maybe they’ve looked at other celeb parent-child riffs -Jennifer Aniston and her mom, Meg Ryan and her mom, Angelina Jolie and her dad – and decided to hold out hope that Perry, as she once mentioned in a Beliefnet interview, is still on a spiritual journey  that may lead her back to her roots.
