Stars You Can Play in Video Games

Want to help Katy Perry build a new life after Russell Brand? It’s only a few clicks away. This week, Electronic Arts announced it had signed an exclusive deal with the “Teenage Dream” singer to appear in multiple games of its best-selling franchise The Sims. The first collaboration, to be released in March, will be a collector’s edition of Sims 3 Showtime, in which players can collect Perry-themed items, such as multicolored wigs and outrageous costumes, and perform as the singer on tour. "I love how you're able to play out different stories through your Sims characters—giving them different careers and watching them succeed,” Perry said of the deal, adding, “I always like to think of myself as a cartoon, and now I'm a Sim!" less
