Russell Brand, Katy Perry divorce rumours denied

Image
Katy Perry and Russell Brand are not splitting up, it has been revealed. Rumours circulated online earlier today claiming that Perry had filed for divorce. However, The Mirror 's showbiz editor Dean Piper tweeted : "Spoken to Russell Brand's peeps. Internet rumour - escalated out of control. Will check but we've not heard anything." PA Images / Chris Pizzello/AP The couple's representatives have not yet publicly commented on the reports. It is thought that the speculation was sparked by a bogus Twitter account, with journalist Dan Wooton writing : "Can't believe all the journalists who were sucked in by a fake Twitter profile claiming Katy Perry had filed for divorce from Russell Brand." Brand and Perry married last October in a private Hindu ceremony in India. 'E.T' singer Perry earlier this month revealed her intention to have children with the Forgetting Sarah Marshall star.

Break out that cherry chapstick once again: Glee covers Katy Perrys I Kissed A Girl VIDEO

Image
Who could have guessed that tonights brand new episode of Glee titled I Kissed A Girl would feature a cover of the Katy Perry earworm of the exact same name? Then again, at a high school where the median age of the student body hovers around 24 and the house band is always on the ready, anything is possible. And that includes a sultry performance by the gals of Glee , led by Naya Rivera and Lea Michele, complete with more cheerleading Katy Perry enthusiasts and uncomfortable reaction shots from Matthew Morrisons Mr. Schuester. (Keep it together, man!) While the ladies cover of the ode to experimentation likely wont garner the same reaction as Glee s other ventures into the Katy Perry catalog (namely Darren Criss swoon-worthy take on Teenage Dream ) it will probably return the 2008 hit to its rightful place: On a relentlessly endless loop in your head.

Katy Perry's edible Meow fragrance

Katy Perry says her latest fragrance is 'more edible' than her first scent. The 'I Kissed A Girl' singer - who is currently on her 'California Dreams' world tour - thinks her latest perfume Meow, a follow up to her debut smell Purr, is the 'perfect snapshot' of her busy life which currently consists of playing gigs worldwide.

She added: 'I think that you can hear a song, and it'll take you back to that moment, or that person, or that time in your life. 'Same thing with your sense of smell...

Gaga, Katy Perry have Muppets cameos cut

Tue, 29 Nov 2011 9:02a.m. Lady Gaga lost out on the chance to make her big screen debut in new family movie The Muppets after her cameo was cut from the final edit. The pop superstar, real name Stefani Germanotta, is a self-confessed Muppets fan and agreed to film a funny sequence in which she and her all-star entourage, including comedians Ed Helms and John Krasinski, reportedly squared off against Miss Piggy. But Gaga's first film feature was left on the cutting room floor when director James Bobin was forced to drop a number of scenes to bring the three-hour movie down to 98 minutes, according to writer/producer Clint Morris, who runs top film site MovieHole.net . He writes on the website, "Stefani Germanotta's big moment from the film was cut. With her entourage, including Ed Helms, Eric Stonestreet... and John Krasinski, Gaga would have gone head-to-head with Miss Piggy in a sequence.

Katy Perry: 'The One That Got Away' - Single review

Image
Released on Sunday, Dec 4 2011 Published Thursday, Nov 24 2011, 11:10 GMT | By Robert Copsey | 1 comment "Summer after high school, when we first met/ We make out in your Mustang, to Radiohead," Katy Perry reminisces on the opening of her latest, potentially record-breaking single. We've always known that she had a penchant for the alt-rock, but we wonder if KP's 18-year-old self ever thought she'd be substituting the sounds of Thom Yorke and co. for the sugar-coated melodies that have made her one of the best-known artists on the planet today? "Used to steal our parents' liquor, and climb through the roof/ Talk about our future, like we had a clue," she continues over a toe-tapping drum beat and delicate piano riff as she agonises over the loss of her one true love. "In another life, I would be your girl/ We'd keep all our promises/ Be us against the world," she mourns on a chorus as instantly satisfying as a mugful of Kenco. Word o...

Katy Perry as Marilyn Monroe on Broadway?

Katy Perry at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles, August 28, 2011. Reuters file pic LOS ANGELES, Nov 24 On the same day Harvey Weinsteins studio is releasing Oscar contender My Week With Marilyn, he is floating a Broadway musical based on the screenplay and starring Katy Perry. Weinstein told E! yesterday that if the movie works, I would try to make it a musical and I would go to Katy first. He said that not only would the Grammy winner be able to play legendary actress Marilyn Monroe, she would be amazing. Interesting choice. Perrys acting experience is limited. She has appeared in an episode of How I Met Your Mother, and is the voice of Smurfette in Sony Pictures The Smurfs. And she has been in a handful of short films. She would be taking the role that Michelle Williams is playing in the movie. Williams, whose work in the 2010 Blue Valentine and the 2005 Brokeback Mountain earned her Academy Award nominations, is receiving stellar reviews and Oscar buzz for her por...

Live review: Katy Perry takes over Staples Center

Image
Live review: Katy Perry takes over Staples Center November 23rd, 2011, 1:00 pm posted by STEVEN MIRKIN, FOR THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER When adults even those who should know better defend Katy Perry , they usually point out that she can really sing and actually writes (or co-writes) much of her material. Thats true, but really beside the point. Its a bit like admiring the guy who robbed you because he fashioned his own knife and threatened you in iambic pentameter. What does it matter who sings or writes the songs when theyre as mechanically cynical as Ms. Perrys? Her Teenage Daydream Tour, which wraps up this week with two packed shows at Staples Center (including a free concert tonight), presents itself as a brightly-colored fantasia, a fairy tale with a happy ending, a Candyland for tweens. But none of that candy-coating can hide the unsavory center: an R-rated performer in G-rated mufti, Perry is a gumdrop filled with arsenic. Its a production so materialistic, narcissistic an...

Katy Perry to Host 'SNL' -- Plus Other Memorable Ladies Who've Hosted the Show

Image
Pop queen Katy Perry will hopefully be channeling some of hubby Russel Brand's hilarity when she tackles the hosting duties for the venerable sketch comedy show "Saturday Night Live" on December 10th. The NBC late night comedy show announced earlier in the week that the "Kissed a Girl" singer will host the show, but will not be the musical guest that night, meaning the world will get to see just how funny Katy can be. The 27-year-old Perry appeared on the show last year after a somewhat controversial appearance on the kid's TV juggernaut "Sesame Street" in which her segment was cut when her top was considered to be "too revealing." She later parodied that moment on "SNL" to much praise, so she should have the chops to pull off at least a few really great sketches. In hosting the show on December 10th, Perry will join a long list of funny females who've held down the hosting honors. Madeline Kahn - The icon of comedy and st...

Katy Perry Oracle Arena Oakland review: hot, cold

Frank Micelotta / EMI Katy Perry kicked off her colorful yearlong tour in Duluth, Ga., in June and made a stop at Oakland's Oracle Arena on Monday night. Katy Perry is a machine. Before she performed to a chorus of paint-peeling screams at a packed Oracle Arena on Monday, she spent years tirelessly building up her fan base by trudging through much more intimate venues. In the Bay Area alone, she put in an appearance at the subterranean Cafe Du Nord, fended off horny punk kids at Pier 30/32 during the Warped Tour and even attempted to squeeze a beta version of her elaborate stage show into the Fillmore. The 27-year-old singer's Oakland appearance came near the end of a yearlong world tour in support of her second album, "Teenage Dream," and was bookended by a headline-grabbing turn at the "American Music Awards" on Sunday and this weekend's hosting duties on "Saturday Night Live." She also has a cameo in "The Muppets" and earlier this ...

Katy Perry Back to Host SNL with Guest Robyn

By the time anyone bothered to look at the press release NBC put out Monday confirming Katy Perry's guest spot on "Saturday Night Live" Dec. 10 with musical guest Robyn, a tweet from the " California Gurls" singer about her not-ready-for-prime-time gig had gotten around pretty quickly. "I'm SO excited 2 announce I'll be HOSTING Saturday Night Live Dec. 10!" tweeted Perry, who's hosting the show a week after "Boardwalk Empire" actor Steve Buscemi. Although it'll be Perry's first time hosting, she made a splash when she was a musical guest on "SNL" last year by taking part in a comedy routine while wearing the most revealing T-shirt this side of a wardrobe malfunction. The fact that it had Elmo on it probably had something to do with a number she sang on "Sesame Street" with the playful puppet, which stirred up controversy when Sesame Workshop took issue with how much skin Perry was willing to bare in ...
