Katy Perry claims she and her parents can all speak in tongues. In a rather cringe-inducing Rolling Stone interview, Katy Perry opens up to the magazine about her ulta-religious upbringing and yikes! Her parents were a little (LOT) nuts. It’s actually amazing Katy has turned out as normal-ish as she is.

more Katy Perry after the hop…

She told the magazine that speaking in tongues is commonplace in her household:

“Speaking in tongues is as normal to me as ‘Pass the salt.’ It’s a secret, direct prayer language to God. A lot of religions use meditation or chanting. It’s a secret, direct prayer language to God. My dad speaks in tongues and my mom interprets it. That’s their gift.”

She also wasn’t allowed certain foods due to their association with the devil.

“I wasn’t ever able to say I was ‘lucky’ because my mother would rather us say that we were blessed, and she also didn’t like that lucky sounded like Lucifer. Devilled eggs were called ‘angelled’ eggs. I wasn’t allowed to eat Lucky Charms, but I think that was the sugar. I think my mom lied to me about that one.”

Wow. Just wow. What do you think her parents think of Russell Brand?
