Katy Perry graces the March cover of Elle Magazine, and the starlet looks absolutely stunning in these shots! Katy candidly chats about everything from her marriage to Russell Brand to being a broke and struggling singer, and she also reveals some of the body image issues she's had over the years. The 5'8" pop star says she once tipped the scales around 145 pounds, but now she weighs in at 130, and even though she's slimmed down, she's still got two amazing all natural assets!

On her breasts:
    "I had enormous boobs that I didn't know what to do with, so I wore minimizers, which were not cute ... I got made fun of for the over-the-shoulder boulder holder, and all I wanted was to look like Kate Moss. Little did I know that these things would come in handy someday."


On her career:
    "I feel like I'm at a point in my life right now where I could potentially stick around. I don't feel like a diva, but I think diva is a great and powerful word in the sense of what Beyonce makes it. And maybe I can't be Beyonce, but maybe I can be Cyndi Lauper. I mean be like her, not be her. That would just be weird."


On busting her butt to succeed:
    "It's important to be relatable and normal. And I think that what helps with that, for me, is that I had the rug pulled out from underneath my feet so many times. It was like, 'Listen up, bitch, you're not going to get served this on a silver platter -- you've got to work for it!' I don't feel like I can act like an entitled bitch yet! I still have so much to prove."
