Katy Perry and Mario Batali at the VW Jetta premiere.

Katy Perry and chef Mario Batali made a surprise appearance at the premiere of the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta in Times Square.

Katy Perry performed her hit singles “I Kissed A Girl”, “Hot and Cold” and her new single “California Gurlz,” even jumping on the hood of the new Jetta mid-performance. “I was dancing on the hood of this all-new Volkswagen Jetta 2011 and it was fantastic! Everyone should get one and dance on it! You’ll have some incredible dance moves coming your way,” said Perry.

Chef Mario Batali was on site to put together simple and sophisticate Italian summer fare. “I’ll be happy to buy the new 2011 Volkswagen Jetta in Mario Batali orange, but I’d have to have some kind of sexy purple on the inside!” he said.
