Katy Perry was suspended from school for "humping a tree."

The "Part of Me" singer - who was raised by strict Christian parents and went to a religious school - admits she was disciplined by her teachers after acting out a love scene with a tree.

"When I was in sixth grade I was suspended from school for humping a tree! We were doing a play on Greek mythology and I was Aphrodite. My love interest was absent and so I used the tree as my partner. It was a Christian school!" she said.

Katy has endured a tough six months following the breakdown of her marriage to Russell Brand, but she recently said she thinks the split has given her a "second chance at life." The "Wide Awake" hitmaker - whose 14-month marriage to the comedian ended in December 2011 - says she's had a new lease of life since they parted ways and has no regrets about the past: "I am totally cool, yeah. I'm just excited. I do have a second chance at life and, also, I already have a brilliant life and I sometimes need to just remind myself."
