Katy Perry wants her parents to butt out, said TMZ.com. Since she and husband Russell Brand announced plans to divorce, on Dec. 30, Perry’s parents, who are evangelical Christian ministers, have been calling the split a gift from God that’s helping them fill churches with people curious about what they might reveal. “What has taken place in my daughter’s life has opened many opportunities,’’ her father said at an Ohio church service. “God has given us a platform to go in and meet people.’’ In a tweet, an angry Perry said, “I want to be clear that NO ONE speaks for me. Not a blog, magazine, ‘close sources,’ or my family.”
