Katy Perry discusses Kristen Stewart-Robert Pattinson, John Mayer

Remember when Katy Perry crashed a wedding rehearsal with Robert Pattinson last May, just after he broke up with “Twilight� costar Kristen Stewart?

No? Well, they did, and the rumor mill went into overdrive over the potential new couple.

It turns out the singer turned “Smurfs 2� star reached out to Stewart about the whole scandal to make it clear that she wasn’t going after the “Twilight� heartthrob.

Perry, 28, said she was doing nothing more than consoling a friend after his breakup.

“I sent her a text message saying: ‘I know you’ve seen all this stuff but you know I would never disrespect you. I’m not that person,’� Perry said in the September issue of Elle UK (via MTV UK). “‘I’m just trying to be a friend to him but it is unfortunate that I do have a set of ...’�

In the upcoming issue, Perry also talks about her previous relationships. In the July 2013 issue of Vogue, she famously said that ex-husband Russell Brand told her via text message that he was divorcing her. Pattinson, 27, happened to be there to help her through her 2012 divorce, and Perry remained a pal to him when news broke that Stewart had cheated on her man with “Snow White and the Huntsman� director Rupert Sanders, Us Weekly reported.

As for her own headline-making love life, the kitschy pop star admitted that she seems to be attracted to “challenging� men.

“The men I have gone for are challenging, yes, but they’re also wildly intelligent and poetic,� she added. “I’m not interested in taming anyone -- I’m pretty wild myself.�

The “Teenage Dream� singer also called on-again-off-again beau John Mayer a “broken bird� but admitted that she remained “madly in love with him.�

Soon after, she and the Hollywood bachelor were spotted together, essentially confirming that they were on once again.

“He pulled away,� Perry told Elle of her broken bird. “That was a big hello for me. I realized I could lose the person I loved and I had to deal with some things, issues I think a lot of women have.�

“You can be strong in one aspect of your life but submissive in another. In relationships, it was hard for me to speak up and set boundaries. I think that a lot of that has to do with the fear of loss.�

But Perry also has a lot to gain this year: She’s set to release her third album, “Prism,� on Oct. 22, and “Smurfs 2� hits theaters on Wednesday.
