The singer won't wait for Mr. Right to come along before having a baby...
Katy Perry is rumored to be dating DJ Diplo, but in a new interview with Rolling Stone, she makes it clear that she's not waiting for him—or any man, for that matter—to make her a mother when the time is right. The Firework singer is counting on technology to get her pregnant if she hasn't met Mr. Right when it becomes time for her to venture into parenthood.
"I don't need a dude," she said. "It's 2014! We are living in the future; we don't need anything. I don't think I'll have to, but we'll see. I'm not anti-men. I love men. But there is an option if someone doesn't present himself."

The singer, who became an aunt for the first time in 2012, said that while she looks forward to the day when she will have her own children, she is not ready for that experience right now.
"I see that my sister is completely devoted to [her] kid, 24 hours a day," she told the magazine. "I want to be doing that in the right time, and that's not in the next two years, you know? Maybe it's in a five-year plan."
Katy, who is in the middle of her Prismatic World Tour, said she would never want to bring her kids with her on the road—at least, not for a while.
"I don't really want to take the child on tour," she said. "Not until, like, birth through five is over…"
Katy has mentioned in the past that her ex-husband, Russell Brand, desperately wanted to start a family with her, but she knew at the time it was a bad idea.
"[He] really wanted me to have children, and I knew I wasn't ready – I think it was a way of control," she told Marie Claire in January. "I really wanted to, but I knew I wasn't ready for it. It wasn't like, 'Hey, let's have a kid because we're in love.'"
The couple divorced in 2012, an event that Katy calls "emotionally traumatic."
