Courtney Love thinks that Katy Perry is "kind of sad."

The grunge rocker isn't a huge fan of the "Roar" singer since she got her major record label deal in 2007, saying she preferred her when she had just been discovered by producer Glen Ballard when she was still a teenager. "I liked Katy when she was in a black shag and the shy girl on Glen Ballard's arm at events. She was damaged goods by the time she got to Capitol [Records]. She really worked for it - 'It' being a career I find so boring it's sort of sad, but what she wears is cute and in her own universe," she told Interview.

While she is not so excited about Katy's brand of pop, Courtney finds Miley Cyrus much more entertaining. "Miley provided me with endless laughs at the VMAs. The Harajuku Japanese girl little bear suit was cute," she said. However, Courtney reserves plenty of scorn for Miley's twerking partner at this year's MTV Video Music Awards, Robin Thicke: "Can someone inform me who Alan Thicke's son is? Like what? Wasn't he on Charles in Charge? That's like Jared Leto trying to convince me he's a rock star."
