Katy Perry has reached that comfortable stage with John Mayer then
It's not Katy's outfit we've got a problem with, it's the toothpick hanging out of her gob

There comes a time in every relationship (around six months) where the woman starts to let things slip a little and do the things that she swore would never happen. It starts with some sort of illness, when the girl is forced to allow the boy to stare at her face with no make up on. And then there's a drunken night out, which sees burping and farting being introduced. And then the 'I love you' enters the equation, which sees everything else - the specs, the dirty habits and then parents - coming out.
Not only have Katy Perry, 28, and John Mayer, 35, reached the dressed down 'I can't be bothered with my contact lenses tonight, darling' phase (not that John was ever in the dressed up 'pass me my cuff links, dear' phase), but she's taken him to meet her entire family - on Christmas Day! - and now she's bringing out the bad habits.
Namely, that toothpick hanging out of her mouth. No bit of spinach - even of the tough Popeye variety - takes a four minute walking massage to remove. The couple were snapped heading! off to Japanese restaurant Matsushia in Beverly Hills last night, with John looking smarter than Katy for the first time in their super edy relationship.
The last time we checked, Katy is not Nelly (plaster on face Nelly, not big grey trunk Nelly), so we're not quite sure why she feels the need to take her half eaten, saliva-covered pick into the cab with her boyfriend.

Katy Perry and John Mayer's date night
View galleryJohn didn't seem to mind though (he looks like the sort of man who'd like the smell of spit. Feel safe around it, even), carrying a doggie bag to the car before whisking Katy back to his for cuddles and possibly more.
The pair have been dating (with a few rumoured gaps) on and off for five months, with John and Katy meeting through mutual friends after her split from Russell Brand.
This time last year, Katy was days away from splitting from the comedian, so we're pleased she won't be alone when the anniversary of her break up (Russ filed for divorce on December 30, fact fans) comes along.
In fact, she and John are so serious that the pair spent Christmas Day together, with John spending time with her family in Santa Barbara... before dressing up like this.
Kinky or creepy? We can't decide
We bet Katy's nan loved that.
