Not Beliebers: Katy Perry gets booed when she suggests covering a Justin Bieber track at London show

Katy Perry found out the hard way that not everyone shares her love for Justin Bieber when she told fans she was thinking of singing one of his songs at her gig at London's Hammersmith Apollo on Friday.

The I Kissed A Girl star, 26, mused out loud that she fancied tackling one of the 17-year-old's tunes - perhaps Baby? - during the sell-out date, but got booed and catcalled for bothering.

The Daily Mirror reports that the singer was left shocked by the hostile response, and chided the audience: 'Justin is mine and (husband) Russell’s adopted son. We love him dearly. Don’t boo him, guys. Come on.'


Katy and Justin have become good friends with Katy puckering up to congratulate him at winning four gongs at the American Music Awards last November.

Meanwhile, Justin has revealed that he would love to play Oliver Twist in a remake of the 1968 classic musical film, Oliver!

According to The Sun, the teen star reckons his deprived upbringing makes him an ideal candidate to play Charles Dickens's classic character.

Speaking about growing up in a council flat in Canada, he confessed: 'That place was really dirty. We had mousetraps everywhere because there were mouses - uh, mice - in the house.'

'I didn't have a real bed. I slept on a blue pull-out couch in my room. We didn't have anything in the fridge, except maybe luncheon meat for school and macaroni and cheese. I'd love to play Oliver Twist.'

In other Bieber news, his 3D concert movie Never Say Never has become the most successful ever live film, overtaking the takings of the late Michael Jackson's This Is It.

In the U.S. alone, the film has already made $72.2 million since it's release last month, compared to Jacko's This Is It which grossed $72.1 million in 2009.

The star was in Germany at the weekend and larked about trying on a blonde wig during filming of TV show Wetten Dass...? at a fairground in Augsburg.

Katy meanwhile is continuing her the UK and Ireland leg of her California Dreams tour.
