KATY Perry has reportedly given new squeeze John Mayer an "anti-Russell makeover" following her divorce from the British comedian.

The American singer has been sporting a new look of late, cutting his long brown locks and ditching casual clothes in favour of a more polished look.

And it's been claimed Katy is behind his transformation.

"Katy's had it with the grungy bohemian rock star look. She's over it. She's basically given John an anti-Russell makeover," an insider told Heat magazine.

"She likes him to wear smarter clothes - ones that don't smell - and to cut his hair. She's looking for a cleaned-up version of her ex."The couple's relationship has been on and off, with Katy's pals initially said to be concerned about his reputation.

But Katy's loved ones have now been won over by the 35-year-old hunk, who celebrated his birthday with her last week.

"Her friends and family are starting to realise that John is more like Katy than Russell ever was. They have a great connection and are always laughing. Plus, John's schedule isn't as busy as Russell's was, so he can be with Katy whenever she has a break from work," the source added.
