KATY PERRY GETS 17 STITCHES IN HOSPITAL VISIT

Katy Perry needed 17 stitches in her leg after injuring herself dancing following the MuchMusic Video Awards on Sunday (20Jun10).

The I Kissed A Girl hitmaker was admitted to a local hospital in Toronto, Canada after she sliced open her leg while partying at a nightclub following the ceremony.

The singer was later spotted sporting a bandage on her right calf during a promotional performance in Toronto on Tuesday (22Jun10).

But she laughed off the accident on Twitter.com ahead of the show, writing: "17 stitches later... Don't make fun of my dance moves tomorrow. That's what got me here in the 1st place! Thanks for the souvenir Canada!

"Thinking about getting a candy cane walker made for this performance coming up... I will be expecting YOU to dance for me, okay?!"
