Outspoken pop singer Katy Perry has enlisted pals to take away her phone when she's out partying to keep her from posting drunken comments on her Twitter page.

The "I Kissed A Girl" hitmaker is constantly updating her profile on the social networking website with her latest thoughts and whereabouts, but admits her compulsion can sometimes go too far.

Now Perry has conjured up a foolproof way to make sure she doesn't embarrass herself with candid posts while enjoying a drink with friends.

She explains, "Sometimes, whenever I go out - not when I'm on tour but when I'm at home and I'm out and I'm celebrating - if I have a couple of drinks my friends will take away my phone in fear of me buzz-Twittering (updating drunk) because you never know what I might say. And I'm glad they do it too."
