RUSSELL Brand may have been the one to file for divorce but Katy Perry is the first to dissociate from her estranged husband on Twitter. According to Gossip Cop, Perry, 27, has stopped following Brand on the micro-blogging website though Brand, 36, is still receiving Perry's tweets. The British comedian filed for divorce from Perry on December 30 after 14-months of marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences." But both Perry and Brand have made public theater this week, showing that they are doing fine in the wake of their split. At a concert in Jakarta Thursday night Perry called a shirtless male fan onstage and planted a kiss on his cheek. She appeared pleased as the fan then kissed her back. On Sunday, Brand stepped out for a Television Critics Association panel to promote his TV show, Strangely Uplifting , which will air on FX in April. When asked how he was doing, Brand responded, "Quite well, thank you. Are you asking because of recent events?" Read more...

Katy Perry no longer follows Russell Brands Twitter page

Daniel S Levine In todays technological world, relationships can never really be over until you set your Facebook relationship status on single or until you un-follow your former significant others Twitter page (which is probably why it is occasionally reported that Chris Brown and Rihanna will get back together). So, now that pop star Katy Perry has officially un-followed husband Russell Brands Twitter page, it can finally be confirmed that their year-long marriage must be over. E! News reports that Brand has yet to do the same and is still following Perry. She is still among the 78 people Brand follows. However, as E! News notes, the British comedian hasnt tweeted since Jan. 5. The UK Mirror reports that Perry follows just 83 people and Brand is clearly no longer one of them. Perry has kept her page updated, writing her last tweet early Friday. Us Weekly reports that Perry has kept in contact with Brand, but strictly though more private means, like over the phone and through e...

Katy Perry's Perfect Game

Audio for this story from Morning Edition will be available at approx. 9:00 a.m. ET January 20, 2012 Felipe Dana / AP If you listen to commercial radio, this is not news: Katy Perry had a huge year. She went number one five times. She was the most played artist on the radio. But the record industry is so weird, it's actually hard to know whether this kind of success translates into huge amounts of money. So we asked. I walked over to Katy Perry's record label. She's on Capital, which is under EMI. I met Greg Thompson, executive vice president of marketing and promotion at EMI. "Did you guys end up in the black?" "As far as I know, yes." "How do you not know?!" "I believe we did. Absolutely." But how much did they spend on Katy Perry? And how much did they make? Here's what EMI did say: "We invested substantially to make a great record." What does "substantially" mean? I called up Andy Tavel, an entertainment l...

Posted 13 minutes ago by Jenna Hally Rubenstein in Celebrity , Music , Videos Remember how Katy Perry 's video for " Teenage Dream " is like, the best video you've ever seen ever ? It just got even better! The already-perfect "Teenage Dream" received a " Pop Up Video " makeover, and we're just a little shocked with what we learned. Hooray! Makeout scenes AND knowledge! Thanks to our well-informed pals over at "Pop Up Video" HQ, we learned that Katy used her real life high school friends as extras in the video, which was shot in her hometown of Santa Barbara. We also find out that even though Katy's parents are extremely religious, she invited them to the set of the video which we all know gets pretty rowdy -- not only did The Parents Perry have to witness their daughter practically having sex with a male model, but they also had front row seats to Katy's pals "taking advantage" of the free booze on set. (Uhh, Katy...
