Katy Perry Says She Wasn't Attacking Britney Spears' New Video

A lot of Celebs have come out and slammed Britney Spears for her new music video 'Hold It Against Me'.

Britney reportedly made half a million dollars from blatant product placement in her new vid, which features some plugging of products like Sony, Radiance perfume, Make Up Forever cosmetics and Plentyoffish.com.

Soon after the much-anticipated video aired on Thursday night, singer Marina and the Diamonds began a conversation about product placement with pop star Katy Perry. Marina tweeted:

"What is consensus on product placement in videos? As a fan, do you prefer product placement if it means bigger budget vid?"

The 'Firewok' singer replied to the Welsh singer-songwriter that plugging should be done with:

"w/style & grace...Not so in ur face like some. U hv to get creative w/it...Some artists don't care tho, & u can tell. "

Of course all tabloids today wrote the Twitter quotes stating that Katy was clearly attacking Britney, but today she took to Twitter to tell the tabloids what she thinks of them:

"Dear tabloid media aka FILTH: pls note I expressed an overall feeling bout product placement, their roles in vids & the art of them being complimenting or sticking out. Most, if not ALL popsters welcome deals w/products 2 offset costs of big budget vids in these recessional music industry times. I'VE used them in MY vids before & am happy 2b able 2 make a better vid because of. Once AGAIN, stop pitting artists against artist for ur sensational satisfaction &stick to what ur best @: lying, gossiping, exaggerating &overall lending a hand 2 the deterioration of a generation."

Wow Katy that's a bit harsh, in fairness you did say that some artists didn't seem to care, very soon after Britney's video came out.

We still love you!
