A Tale of Two Kates.

Here we have, taken Thursday night at the annual gala for the GO Campaign, a photo of one Katy Perry and Kate Hudson. Perry, born Katheryn Hudson, actually has Kate Hudson to thank for her name.

When Perry was just starting out in the pop music biz, she dropped her real last name, Hudson, in favor of her mother’s maiden name, Perry, so people wouldn’t confuse her with the OG Kate Hudson.

Years later the two are good friends.

In fact it was at Kate Hudson’s Halloween party last year that Perry wore what remains one of the all-time greatest celebrity costumes: the Flamin’ Hot Cheeto.
