Katy Perry has premiered her new music video for 'E.T.' featuring Kanye West, the latest single from her third studio album 'Teenage Dream.'

Directed by Floria Sigismondi -- who has worked with otherworldly characters like Marilyn Manson, Bjork and David Bowie -- the video is much edgier than the bubble-gummy pop image Katy has cultivated thus far. The freaky footage also features a cameo from albino male model Shaun Ross, who plays Katy's love interest.

'E.T.' hit No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making 'Teenage Dream' the ninth album in Billboard history to produce four No. 1 Hot 100 hits. Yeezy tops off the supernatural song with his rhymes about "alien sex," his "filthy ways" and the "milky way." This is not Perry's first hit to feature a hip-hop collab -- she solicited verses from Snoop Dogg for her West coast pop-anthem 'California Gurls.'

When she's not playing the role of alien, the 26-year-old Grammy nominee is also a newlywed with hilarious hubby, British actor Russell Brand.
