EA announces it's show time for The Sims 3 Showtime, the new expansion for The Sims 3, also announcing the availability of the, yes, The Sims 3 Showtime Katy Perry Collector’s Edition Expansion pack. Here's word:

The Sims 3 Showtime offers more fun for everyone. New to the game is the option for players to fully customize their own performance stages. Fog machines, spotlights and confetti are just a few of the stage props available for players to enhance their Sims’ performance stages. New, extensive areas are ready to explore in the town of Starlight Shores, where players can watch their Sims succeed or epically fail as they transition from one venue to the next. Using new on-stage objects, players are able to further experiment within the performance careers to catapult their Sims to success or bestow the deadly grim reaper upon their fate.
