It's always a bit tricky meeting the potential parents-in-law - especially when they're evangelical preachers and you've got a history of dipping your dinkle into dubious places while out of your box on heroin.

Katy, Russell and her parents - Keith and Mary Hudson - are on a getting acquainted type holiday aaaaaaaalll the way over in Austria. The Sun reports:

"Keith said he had given Russell - named The Sun's top showbiz lothario three times in a row - a copy of his book The Cry, designed to 'release the desperate longing for God's intervention in your life'. In return 34-year-old Russell handed him his autobiography, My Booky Wook, which details his former life of drugs and hookers... Before jetting out, Mary said at The Way Family Church in Temecula: 'You just have to see how the Lord's will is done. I mean, how many times have your kids disappointed you so profoundly that you wanted to get up from the chair and knock them out?(?!??! Aaaaah, with a Bible, that's OK so) There are parts of Russell's book where he's really hungry for positive influences in his life. I think the two of them are hungry. They are basically looking for God and they are seeking the truth - and they are going to find it."

Of her daughter's current choice of song topic, Mary added: "This was a girl who wrote a song like Jesus Heals the Blind Eye. She wrote songs like Your Faith Won't Fail - and I am sticking that one back in her face right now!" Mary clearly has some rage issues. Perhaps God will give her a hand with that one also.

Mary isn't the only mouthy one, Keith (who, as much as it's deplorable to say, has a look of the Glitters about him) also has a thing or two to impart: "People say: What do you think about Katy? Aren't you ashamed? Why did Katy sing that song, I Kissed A Girl? And I say, 'I don't know. Why does a duck stand on one leg and go quack? I don't know'. And I say, 'I don't know about kissing a girl, but I kissed God and liked it better'."

Where do you start with that one? Have Keith and Mary (assuming she's female) never kissed? Was Katy some form of immaculate baster-aided conception? Or is Keith insinuating that Mary's God? Has Keith actually kissed God, or does he just have homoerotic fantasies about him/her? More importantly, do ducks stand on one leg and go quack?

One thing's for sure, sh*te talking is hereditary.
