Katy Perry is donating a cast sculpture of her breasts to charity.

The unique sculpture of the 'I Kissed A Girl' singer's chest is being painted by her boyfriend Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes and will be auctioned off in a benefit for the Keep a Breast Foundation's youth outreach program, reports E! Entertainment.

The cast is expected to be available for bidding starting November 26.

Meanwhile, Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon, Iggy Pop and DEVO are among the artists who have contributed items and painted breast casts for the eBay auction to benefit the Foundation whose mission is to help eradicate breast cancer exposing young people to methods of prevention, early detection and support. The items can be bid on here now.

I think its quiet silly how she sings about how she's "gay" when she has a normal boyfriend, i mean come on! would you sing about how "i kissed a girl", when everyone knows that you go out with the famous Travis McCoy. I think her music is a put off because she has also has been voted as the worst pop musician, what a petty.
