Dec. 31: Katy Perry, The HD Hottie

Washington, D.C. (December 31, 2008) -- Following our extremely popular contest, 'HD Hottie Hysteria,' we've started a new feature in which we will highlight a top female star every day. The gorgeous female will come from a program that can be seen in gorgeous high-def that very day.

Today's 'HD Hottie' is Katy Perry, who stars tonight in high-def in NBC's New Year's Eve With Carson Daly at 10 p.m. on NBC.

The 24-year-old singer, who was born in Santa Barbara, California, moved to Los Angeles at the age of 18 to become a musical artist. But her early years were marked by bouncing from one record label to another, although critics often cited her as a coming talent.

However, it took Katy's 2008 single, "I Kissed a Girl," to put her on the map. The song -- and her new album, One of the Boys -- was criticized by some for being homophobic. But that didn't stop the record from generating huge sales and strong reviews from the critics.

So, here is Katy Perry, today's HD Hottie:
