Glu Mobile is launching its long-touted Katy Perry Pop mobile game today as it aspires to cash in on the celebrity gaming trend that it lit on fire with its Kim Kardashian: Hollywood game.

The title is an always-connected, massively multiplayer online mobile game based on the life of pop star Katy Perry. In the game, you play an aspiring music artist in Santa Barbara, Calif., (Perry’s hometown) and try to advance your career in the global music scene.
