It helps to have good friends on popular TV shows. Pop star Katy Perry has landed a guest spot on an episode of ‘Raising Hope’. Perry will play Rikki, a prison attendant who claims to be a friend from Sabrina’s (actress Shannon Woodward) past. It turns out the newly-single Perry is close with Woodward in real life. “Shannon Woodward is my best friend,” Perry said in a statement.
“A couple weeks ago, I was home when she called me up and asked if I wanted to do something ‘fun’ for a change and try out a guest role on her TV show. I thought, ‘Sure, I have nothing else to do, and I like chillin’ with my best friend.” The ‘California Gurl’ is not a complete stranger to acting. In 2011, she guest starred on the sitcom, ‘How I Met Your Mother.’ She’s taken part in ‘Saturday Night Live’ sketches and voiced the Smurfette character in the 2011 big-screen adaptation of ‘The Smurfs’.
