Tickle me Elmo: Katy Perry on Saturday Night Live last night mocked her recent rejection from Sesame Street


Katy Perry has something to get off her chest.

The 25-year old California Gurls singer retaliated last night against the negative backlash from a music video she shot with Elmo for Sesame Street this week.

The scenes were pulled from the show after a slew of comments from angry parents claiming she was showing too much cleavage.

But an undeterred Perry appeared on Saturday Night Live, the famous U.S comedy sketch show, wearing a low cut t-shirt with Elmo's face on it.

In the sketch Katy plays a 16-year old library volunteer, Maureen DiChico, who appears on a mock daytime chat show, Bronx Beat hosted by Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph.

Wearing the Elmo t-shirt, which clearly shows off her ample chest, accompanied by a short tartan skirt and with her hair in pigtails Katy looks every bit the naughty school girl.

The hosts both make a big deal of the fact that 'Maureen' appears to have developed quite substantially in a certain area since they last saw her.

'Honey, you've exploded - kaboom! Those are some bazooms,' Rudolph exclaimed.

'Look at Elmo's head, it's all stretched out,' Poehler added.

Katy, aka Maureen then began to bounce up and down on the sofa, giggling.

Maureen then revealed to the hosts that the library had told her to wear looser fitting clothing for when she reads to children at work.

'Who cares if kids are looking at boobs - boobs feed babies, alright?' Rudolph said in her defense.

'I see CSI last night and there’s a dead guy with worm in his eye - and we can't watch the top of boobs? So dumb, America,' exclaimed the host.

After the sketch, Katy performed her hit single California Gurls, which was revealed this week as the second biggest selling single of the year after Train's Hey, Soul Sister.

Katy's fiance Russell Brand has also been in trouble in the past week after he was detained at Los Angeles International Airport for hitting a photographer.

He was charged with battery and transferred to a local police station after the photographer made a citizens arrest.
