"I love how you're able to play out different stories through your Sims characters - giving them different careers and watching them succeed," Perry said in a Statement. "It's cool to see the Sims' stage performances in "The Sims 3 Showtime" decked out just like my California Dreams Tour-- even my cotton candy video screens are in there! I always like to think of myself as a cartoon, and now I'm a Sim!"

The singer recently split from husband Russell Brand.

The 36-year-old comedian cited "irreconcilable differences" in the documents, which were filed in a Los Angeles Superior Court on December 30. The couple had no children together.

Brand issued a statement the day he filed for divorce from his wife of 14 months, telling the Associated Press, "Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends."

Perry, 27, and Brand were married on October 23, 2010 in a traditional Hindu ceremony in Rajasthan, India, where Brand also proposed to the singer. The two began dating in September 2009 after the singer performed on the MTV Video Music Awards that were hosted by Brand.
