Katy Perry is following Ashton Kutcher's footsteps, hopefully, in a healthy manner.

Perry has become the new spokesperson and investor for PopChips, the company announced Wednesday.

As the "brand ambassador," Katy Perry will be featured in an ad campaign this coming fall.

The 27-year-old pop star seems to love her delicious role.

“I was hooked after my first bite!" Perry said in a press release.
"When I discover something good, I want to share it with everyone I know, so I tweeted about it," she shared in a statement."

Perry joins Ashton Kutcher in endorsing PopChips, but we are all hoping that the "Part of Me" singer would not stir controversy like Kutcher did.

The video featuring "Two and a Half Men" actor, released in May, was criticized for its racist expression.

In it, Kutcher portrayed four "bachelors" who are eligible for a dating service. At one point, he 34-year-old actor was seen in a wig, brown makeup and a mustache, as he sported Indian accent to look like Bollywood producer Raj.

Though the ad sparked outcry, the company said that the"dating parody featuring four characters was created to provoke a few laughs and was never intended to stereotype or offend anyone."

Take a look at the original video:

Later the character of Raj was pulled from the video.

For Katy Perry's campaign, we hope that PopChips can come up with a genuinely healthier choice.
