"I asked my mother permission so I could get my nose pierced. And of course she didn't give it to me. She said it was ridiculous and she wasn't gonna do that. So she then went on an errand, so I took a safety pin and a piece of ice and I pierced my own nose ... She saw it, she's like, 'Oh it's not as bad as I thought,' because it was just a little diamond. But I still have this horrible scar that everybody brings up when they get really close." -- Katy Perry

Katy Perry has been touting a "no regrets" philosophy these days when it comes to her failed marriage to Russell Brand. During an appearance on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," however, the pop star admitted she could kick herself over a major beauty blunder during her days of childhood rebellion.
