Katy Perry was the definition of extra during a Disney-themed American Idol episode.

The songstress arrived dressed as the Sea Witch, Ursula, from 1989's The Little Mermaid.


Perry used her costume to galvanize American Idol fans to vote in the latest round.

She was all about the "SUCK-TION," by the way.

The American Idol crew seemed to be having a blast, too.

And fans loved it.






Perry told People that she and her costume designer Johnny Wujek explored several options before settling on Ursula.

"I've done so many costumes with [Wujek] over my whole career and we were going through what I could be. He had a sketch of Piglet, he had a sketch of Sebastian, he had a sketch of [Ariel, the Little Mermaid], Tinkerbell, and Ursula and it was Ursula on keto, you know? And I was like, 'I think I've got to do this.'"

She added:

"Ursula doesn't always get — it's hard to dress up as Ursula because she's an octopus. And so I was just going to go full tilt. I mean, a lot of people have been [Ariel] and you would think, you know, that that would be the choice. But Ursula
"

We hope Perry enjoyed playing a villain for the evening.

We all need to spice up the workplace from time to time!

Newsom Bluntly Fact-Checks DeSantis After He Blames Biden For 'Shortchanging' Florida In Last Census

After Florida Governor Ron DeSantis told Fox News that former President Joe Biden "shortchanged" his state in the 2020 census, California Governor Gavin Newsom bluntly—and awkwardly—fact-checked him.

A few days ago, DeSantis "announced his support for an update to the 2020 Decennial Census, which could potentially yield additional congressional seats for Florida," per an official press release. His announcement was a response to a redistricting effort in California, which itself is a response to GOP-led gerrymandering in Texas backed by President Donald Trump.
