Katy Perry: I chew birth control tablets like they're Vitamin C

Singer says she chomps on The Pill to avoid pregnancy

Katy Perry was linked to musician Josh Groban in March 2008

Katy Perry loves the idea of settling down and having a child - but she's definitely not ready yet.

The I Kissed A Girl singer uses oral contraceptives to make sure she doesn’t fall pregnant.

‘I love being in love, I love the idea of marriage and making babies - but not yet,’ she says. ‘Not until I'm 30.

‘I basically chew my birth control tablets - I chew them like vitamin C, I'm like, “nomnomnomnom”.' 

Katy, 24, who split from Gym Class Heroes star Travie McCoy, 27, in January, is too focused on her career to have a family now.

‘It's one of those things where I have no energy left to give to anybody,' she tells Paper magazine.

'It doesn't matter if I love them or not. I give it all away on tour and when I'm meeting people.

‘This is a really important time in my life. During the next two or three years, if I do things right, I will have a real career, and if I don't, well, I'll just be that girl who kissed a girl.’
